Default Need Input on 07 gs350 next mod

Hello everyone..
Im Just going to vent what Im thinking plz share your ideas/thoughts. I have $1k for my next mod and I have no idea what to get next. I was thinking coilsovers but dunno which ones are good? which brands? From Anyone's experiences what have you decided to be good coils? I choose coils b/c in the future im getting bigger tires/rims so im wanna be able to adjust the height. Teins? BCR? Im noob plz help. NEXT I was wondering if i should wait out on coils and get Fsport since there on sale for a limit time? Wasn't the sale for 35 percent off in the beginning of the sale? I wanted the sway set and the brace chasis but im not sure if the brace is made for the gs350? ANYBODY? HELP? OR any other mods that i havent mentions is kool...
Thanks for your time

depends on what you want. are you performance oriented or style oriented? you need to layout your plan on what you want to do to your car.

imho, save that $1,000 and keep saving. wheels, bodykits, suspension mods, etc are all expensive. so you want to have enough money saved up to do nice quality mods that you see in this forum. most GS modders here lower and get wheels first. so you can go that route. performance or styling mods can be done later once you decided which route to take.

The Tein coilovers I have ran me 2800 dollars with the EDFC and install of the coiovers, EDFC , and running the wires for the EDFC. You will need to drop more than a 1000 for a good suspension set up. I would get the sway bars and maybe the intake from F sport or like stormforge said save the cash for a larger mod like suspension, body kit, wheels etc

When I make the switch I'm going with JIC. Ride is perfect and offers the best drop IMO.

If your asking me JIC coils. Seems most with tein aren't happy in the long run.

Having been in cars with both and the drop JIC offers it has everything to offer. Really boils to the ride and drop you want.

From what I'm gathering you will be very happy with JIC.

The F sport accessories are discounted about 32% (20% from Lexus, and additional 15% from Sewell) which IMO is too good to pass up. I am pretty happy with my Tein CST coilovers, I have matched the spring rate so its as close to stock as possible to maintain that cushy Lexus ride. But like everyone says, coilovers are gonna run you easily around 2K plus install and alignment. With 1K either do the sways, or save up for the entire susp. - you got til the end of this month to get the discount off F-sport

Lola depends on priorites. Are you happy with the ride? Do you want a different look?
