Looking into getting back into another Lexus possibly at the end of the year and debating between a ‘19 GS350 F-Sport of a LS500 F-Sport. I know the aftermarket options are greater with the GS but the new gen LS is starting to grow on me. I tried searching here and online and haven’t seen many lowering options for the 5th gen LS. Besides Air Runner, have you guys heard of any companies planning to release coilovers? I’ve heard that 4th Gen lowering springs can be used on these newer LS’s too. Any other options out there or coming out soon?
hhmm...Have you seen the new LS first hand? The car sits about as low as can get (of course without going all "east LA low rider").
I'm pondering the same but I love my 2015 FSport.... So far the dealerships in Austin don't seem to be too motivated to sell - even though I seem to salivate over the car every time I step in for a service.
Here are some pics of my 2015... Only has 27k miles.... I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to swap this for the red seats in the new FSport (not to mention the silky smooth V8 that I've gotten used to).
Keeping fingers crossed hoping that there will be more seat and wheel options in the 2019
Hard to say car just came out, I have not heard any info on new coilovers yet, only thing they have is the lowering kit but its for the air suspension. I'm seeing less of the F-sports shipping with the air suspension in the upper east coast.

Yah, I've test driven the new LS's and love the feel and comfort in it's stock form. But, I've always driven lowered cars all my life, and know that I'll want it lowered more than what a lowering spring could do (Hahaha even if they were available).

I just emailed BC to see if they have any plans to release anything and I'll post back if they have any new info. I've ran their coilovers with the Swift Spring upgrade on my 2GS and was pretty happy with the ride.

Thanks, the shop I go to is in talks with RS-R in the hopes they want to develop something. Really wish there was a want but more people in cali have the air ride, as opposed the the people with AWD ones. I'll let you know if they finally pull through for one.

That would be great, I'd love to hear back if they do come out with something.
Unfortunately, I got an email back from BC and there is no ETA or confirmation yet if they will be releasing a coilover for the new LS. Purely speculation, but I would imagine that they will eventually come out with something, as BC has many applications for the newer vehicles and I can't imagine that the LS would be any different. While it may not be as popular as some other models, they've had offerings for previous generation LS's, so there is still hope.
LS460 lowering spring fit, but the struts wont. Im running LS460 tanabe drop springs on my LS500
Ahhhh gotcha, thanks for the confirmation. Are there any other options other than Tanabe that lower the car more, since the drop is pretty mild. Got any pics you can share?
Nice. Ahhh you're Lance's friend. I had message him asking some questions about your car because I think I saw him post a pic on FB or IG or something. So install was straight forward and no issues? I was also curious how the ride might be with the weight difference, but I would imagine that while it may not be ideal, it would still ok. If I end up picking one up, the Tanabe's might be a nice choice until coilovers become available. Bags are not really my thing.
