I came from the stock Lexus IS 350, the ride comfort was great. It just felt like a comfortable, smooth and luxurious ride feel which I really like.

But the IS 350 just had so much body rolls when I tracked the car; so I decided to upgrade and added the F Sport front and rear sway bars. Although it corners far better, the ride quality was horrible; I could feel all the bumps using the car as a daily driver.

After doing some research, by replacing only the front F-Sport sway bar with stock, you still get most of the handing and a lot of the ride comfort. This was all great, until I totaled my IS 350 - Great excuse to get IS-F.

I was very concerned about getting the IS-F because of the ride quality especially pre-2010. After having the 2012 IS-F for 2 months, although the ride quality is better the F-Sport front/rear sway bars IS 350, I still missed the stock IS 350 ride quality.

I don’t track anymore (our track has been closed) but I do spirited driving. I don’t mind losing a little handing for a more comfortable ride.

I’ve read changing the coilovers, will improve the ride quality. So which of these coilovers (BCR, Tein Comfort Sport, KW3) will give a comfortable, smooth and luxurious ride feel that is the same or better than the stock IS 350 - but not numb/floaty ride? I am leading toward the BCR because of the price and general good review.

I'd go BC Racing with Swift springs on the less expensive side, they are also a simpler setup for adjustments and install. Or KW V#'s if you have the money AND want the double adjustability, not as easy to setup for most people.

Either one is a good setup
