There's only a few LS460 coilover options, it really comes down to what your budget is. Here's a few brands off the top of my head (in order of what I would buy):

Youzealand
Final Konnexion
JIC
Largus
BC

brian has factory air -- his coilover/air combo costs in excess of $10k retail haha

you'll be able to do coilovers if your car doesn't already have factory air.

here are a few more companies to add to the mix:

skipper
aragosta
JIC
t-demand

my only concern is that I was told that the BC coil overs are really for the 430 but they swap the spring out for a higher rate. My concern is in the shock itself hasnt been updated.

I got the BC's with the Swift upgrade & had the shocks revalved to the spring rates I ordered & it's on the money...too bad I can't be a hardcore "Static" guy so I decided to bag my car

I'm on BC extreme drop with upgraded Swift springs at 12kg/8kg. It's only been about a month since I had them on, but so far they have been very good. I also have the rear dampening extenders installed
Very satisfied, even more so considering the price point.
