Carson Toyota (l-tunedparts.com) is your best bet for Tein CS. They are probably the closest to stock feel.

You might want to consider the Apexi World Sport coilovers listed in the classified section: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=257469

I prefer the feel of the Apexi over the Tein CS v1 (haven't rode in a v2). The Apexi WS is a quality coilover, but it does not have damping adjustment if you are looking for that feature.

As I have read, the Apexi don't really give you that sporty feel either.

If you are not lowering your car, get Bilstein HD's. Makes your car feel planted but only slightly stiffer than stock.

Also much cheaper than Tein CS.

i do want to lower the car, i plan on going w/ 19" wheels also, so i wana avoid having a big gap. im not sure if coilovers are my best option, is there an L-tuned setup for the gs430? if so how much is it, and how much does it lower.

Yes there is an L-tuned setup. The L-tuned springs lower your car by 1.0" all around. There are few members here with 19" rims and L-tuned springs. L-tuned shocks are discontinued already, but they are exactly the same as the KYB GR-2 shocks.

You will still have a fairly large gap with the L-Tuned springs. Also depending on how low you plan on going the Tein CS coilovers won't give you that ultra slam. You might want to take a look at some JIC Magic coilovers.
