Lexus Test Driver
the car was still very smooth for the most part, but over bad roads or when pulling in and out of certain parking lots you had to be extra careful to not bottom out, and having people in the car just exacerbated that... i also couldn't go to my particular oil change spot since they have a drive on lift and the car would no longer fit onto it
i personally wouldn't do anything to the suspension besides just replacing worn bushings but i guess i'd be a hypocrite to say that lol

lowering it on bigger rims takes away a noticeable amount of the 'lexusness' that makes the LS like the nicest ever thing to use in the first place... as far as i was concerned the experiment had ran its course and i was ready to get the full floaty extremely practical experience back

Makes perfect sense, and I do understand. I've had 3 other vehicles over the years that were lowered by various applications. I am running stock 16" wheels and 225/60 tires so that may help.
You're right though, the Lexus is a different beast and over the past couple of days I've been wondering if I should just stick with a more stock configuration. Currently, it seems the only option is with the Strutmaster kit and you will see a number of complaints about them. Could be from people that complain about most things, I don't know.
I hope to have a decision made this week.

@Losiracer2,
Thank you for taking the time to send this. What are the chances, and in Arizona at that!
I appreciate it, but I have my shop already ordering them for installment.
I'm hoping this turns out to be a good solution... The H&R springs just couldn't be found.
