Problems with bags
I have bags on my GS350 2013 and I cant seem to find the sweet spot when it comes to my ride quality. It was initially set up wrong and it bounced around. I got it fixed and brought the total ride height down about 2 inches. It is a lot less bouncy however, it does not ride smooth like a Lexus should ride. Should I expect a lousy ride if I put bags on my car? Oh the handling is tight like a race car, if I move the wheel half an inch I am changing lanes. The problem is if I bounce I am changing lanes and at the very least I am all over the road.
Thanks in advance for your advice!

can u share more of your setup ? what kind of bags, and suspension you have installed ? short answer, bag should NOT give you that lousy ride, it actually should be smoother than coilover. But again, anytime you did modification on suspension beside OEM, you can't expect a smooth Lexus ride w. OEM settings.
again, share more about the setup, maybe that will give you a start.

i really feel like each setup on each car is completely different. sometimes you just get lucky and get it dialed in proper, other times it seems like it is constantly annoying and you keep having to mess with it.
but yeah like someone else mentioned need to know all the specifics.

Sounds off to me as well. If it was bouncy, one would normally think to add pressure to your bags to stiffen it up. But at the same time you say that it's "tight like a race car" which makes it sound like you have enough pressure already. Might want to post your question over on Air Society and ask their thoughts.
