Default 2007 GS 350 with K-Sport Coilovers

I bought my GS with these K-Sport coilovers. The ride is too low, and not smooth at all. I hate having to slow way down when I reach any bump/angle.

I have the option to put the stock suspension back on.

I like the look of the drop, and would prefer to raise the car about a inch, and leave the coilovers on.


A couple people said that the shocks with a coilover setup are never good. Is this true? I want a dropped look, but I want a smooth ride. Is that possible with these K-Sport coils? Like I said, right now, it's too low...and not smooth.

What should I do?

If you have a 2007 GS350 you have a THIRD GENERATION GS.

Posting in that forum will yield better answers

The problem is with the Ksport coils themselves. They aren't what you call quality. It's only good for those who want to drop their car low without having to spend money.

It's not that shocks aren't good in a coilover, it's just Ksport that sucks. Their dampers are inconsistent and adjusting them is a pain in the butt.

If you want nicer ride quality, ditch those KSports.
