Best OEM+ set up?

I have a GS430 2006.

What is the best OEM+ Set up? Are there springs that work with the OEM suspension damping system? I want a conservative drop. Enough to see a slight difference, but not enough to say its 'slammed'.

Then.. matched with what wheel? I currently have the OEM 18's on there.

Is there a "F" spring offered?

What OEM wheel swaps are people doing? I feel like this is the only weekness of the Lexus line. Audi/VW/Porsche etc -... all over incredible OEM wheels.

Will LS wheels fit? I really dont want bigger the 19's.... maybe a set of ISF wheels?

Cheers-

Nice pics there. Subtle and clean. How does the suspension work if you swap that spring? In terms of a sport of comfort mode?

Springs do not affect your sport/comfort feature! The ride quality is hardly any different to OEM!

You will only notice a slight difference in cornering due to less body roll. That's pretty much it.

I would consider it purely cosmetic! Everything else remains OEM
