Lowering Spring Recommendation
Looking to drop my LS460L just a bit. Not looking for a huge drop since wife drives the car.
hoping for two things:
1. not too low of a drop
2. stock ride quality
Afraid that Tanabe is a bit too much drop. Any recommendations?
Megan Racing Springs look good but how is the drop and ride?

Tanabe's for me and I love them! The car rides stock while crusing around town and passengers can't tell i am dropped. I know it is dropped as I hit turns and there is no body roll and it doesn't dip or sag on braking/acceleration. It is also nice that I have no fender gap. For me, the NF210s provided the exact suspension I wanted for this car.
Be sure to review my detailed thread on my install experience. I tried to do all the homework for other folks looking at Tanabe. Check it out https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...fo-thread.html

I wished Eibachs made them for the LS..I had Eibachs on my bmw 645 and was a nice drop with a stock ride. But then changed to coilovers when I upgraded the rims. Had to go much lower

Ok, let me try this again ..Tanabes ride 5% rougher than stock..in other words you won't be disappointed but you need to do your homework when it comes to installing springs on this car..I highly encourage you all to read my detailed thread on my entire tanabe install expeience

The ride on the Tanabes is great! The drop is not too aggressive.
