07 GS430 coil overs
Hey, so I currently own a 2007 Lexus GS430,
I need to replace my front struts and thought I would do the whole suspension front and back since two new front oem struts are ridiculously expensive!
I want to buy Bc racing coil overs but when searching for my mode and year nothing came up is it possible to get the
BC Br series racing coil overs for the 430? I see lots of people talking about them but do they buy the RWD GS300? And install it on the 430? Not sure if there’s any fitment differences?
I appreciate any feedback thanks!

Call BC Racing, they will get you set up. There was some confusion on mine (06 GS430) and the vendor I ordered through screwed up the first time. I should have just ordered directly from BC Racing.
The correct set fits a lot of different models, the set I got actually said IS250/350 IIRC.
One piece of advice I'd give you, these cars eat through ball joints and tie rods pretty good. I'd go ahead and replace the lower ball joints and tie rods with new ones (Moog or OEM lexus) while you're at it so you won't have to worry about it and you'd already got everything opened up and you won't need to realign for a while. The F sport sway bars are also a nice upgrade as well.

Coilovers
I have a 08 AWD and ran BC BR coilovers on mine for about a year. Very satisfied. Not sure if the AWD/RWD fitment are the same but wouldn't mind parting ways with them if your interested and they fit.
