Default GS460 Coilovers Suggestions?

Hey guys, just purchased an 08 GS460 and looking to lower it on some coilovers. I've noticed there aren't many people with GS460's and was wondering if any members have inputs on what company makes applications for my car. Any recommendations on what coilovers for the most luxurious ride? I will also be ordering some 20' VIP Modulars to accommodate my car.

Thanks for any inputs

I just installed BC Racing coil overs. I will get the car back from the installer today. Will let you know my feedback.

Car still at the dealer, job is done but they are fixing minor issues ( AC vent broken ). Still waiting for them to call me so I can pick the car up! Fingers crossed.

Ahh, excited to see how it looks! When you bought your coilovers or looked for them. Did you look to purchase coilovers made for the GS430's? Or were these ones you bought made specifically for the GS460?

Thanks

GS300, GS350, GS430, GS460.. all same setup! One fits all!

Good news, just got the call, car is ready. It's too late to pick it up now since they close in an hour, so pick up will be first thing in the morning!

Just picked up the car, man it feels awesome! It drives like my M5 now!

The ride height is same as when my car sat on Eibach springs. I didn't want it too low, it has 3 fingers fender gap!

No rubbing and it feels so nimble and responsive! I love the fact that everything is fully adjustable in case I decide to upgrade to 20's.

Gonna shoot a video this evening and post up!

Here's a quick iphone pic!

Some more pics of the ride with BCR's. They are starting to settle in well. Car feels firm and planted!

With coilover you lose the AVS function switching from sport to normal? Did any warning lights come on and stayed on your dash?
BWT... car looks good
