Default Suspension advise

When my air suspension goes on my 2011 sport model, what struts would members here recommend to go to for a quality comfortable ride? If there is a good thread already on here listing brands can someone point me there...

I am interrested in this also. May have to stick with oem.
A lot is just me. The non sport models were way to boaty of a ride. If I could not have the sport suspension or something just like it, I would have to sell the car.

With the sport suspension it gave me what I wanted. More of a MB or BMW ride but the much better quality car of a Lexus.

BC Racing adjustable coil overs. Street price seems to be about $995 shipped.

Is it confirmed that air suspension models can go back to coilover set up and avoid any warning lights by pulling a fuse ? The same method used in 430s.

What BC Racing model coilover is suggested based on peoples experiences, suggested spring rates, ride heights, comfort vs handling thoughts etc, which fuse to remove, thanks for any help complicated process choosing alternative to the fact air system, can coilovers be comfortable as conventional strut or shocker and spring arrangement ? now i'm really confused

The BR Series is the model they go since they are designed for daily driving. Spring rate is standard and ride height you would choose based on what you like once you install them.
One of the fuses for the LS460 is the main air suspension fuse. You can look in your dealer handbook to locate exactly where it is.

In general how much does it cost to replace the air suspension struts with regular ones and how difficult is it to do it yourself. For anyone who has done it were there any problems while doing it or afterward.
