My advice, stay away, far far away from the J5 coilovers. I'm speaking as an owner of one of these sets. The struts fail on these within a year and replacement part for it was $500 and it's failed 2x since I've had them. I just got a set of RSR coils to replace mines.

ok what suspension set do you then recommend? I currently run with rsr low springs but want a more firm ride.

I doubt anybody makes aftermarket suspensions specific for the GS450H since they were produced in fairly limited quantities. Maybe GS350 specific aftermarket suspensions would fit I would think.
I have the J5's on my 13 F Sport and not impressed and looks like they went out of business , at least selling in the states. They still function fine but mine is a babied garage queen that sees maybe 5k miles a year and only in perfect weather. I have a 4Runner and Tacoma too that I daily drive.

If I had to do it all over again I would completely ditch the stock suspension and should have gone with BC Racing with the Swift spring upgrade. You can choose the spring stiffness and are fully height adjustable. I had them on my IS350 and loved them and will be on my GS350 if these J5's fail. Here is the contact info to BC Racing to call them. https://www.bcracing-na.com/product/...id=p1098-c1137

Maybe someone on the forum can advise if the GS350 suspension will work on your GS450H.
