Default Now what should I do????? (purchasing an LS)

Some of you may have read where I tried to buy a LS460L Touring but they would not come down in price so I walked. Well I was just offered a LS460 Blk on Blk loaded at darn near invoice. So I’m considering buying the SWB

Here's my dilemma, after riding the Touring I feel as if the SWB just won't cut it as far as handling goes. Coming from my GS430 which I run in the sport mode most of the time, then to the LS with a much softer ride might make me sad, I like the stiffer ride and less body roll then the SWB offers. Don’t get me wrong, the LS SWB is a very nice riding car, almost to nice, it’s just not stiff enough for me. What really get’s me is Lexus does not offer the sport ride in the SWB.

So my question is, are there any after market options to change the suspension or is what it comes with what you get? Thanks for any help you could give me.

unfortunately, nothing yet. springs are coming out, but they won't really help you in handling at all. not to mention the thicker sways and larger brakes on the touring, those helps handling a lot

I really wish they would bring the touring SWB to the U.S., its available in Europe and Asia IIRC.

those will help stiffening the car, but nothing beats a better set of sways imho
