The only aftermarket shocks available for the LS430 is the KYB GR2, which is just a cheaper alternative for the OEM shocks, which is also made by KYB.

I went with the OEM sport shocks since that is the firmest shocks available to go with my NF210. I am extremely satisfied with the result.

Where did you find the best price for the O.E.M sport shocks ? I know the Lexus dealer has to be really expensive.

I went with the NF210 because I wanted to keep the smoothness of the LS. I also wanted the front to drop more than the rear because the rear sits lower on the stock suspension. So I was hoping that the 1" drop in the front will be even with the 0.8" drop in the rear. Unfortunately the rear still sat a little lower than the front. My front has a little more than 2 finger gap and the rear has a little less than a 2-finger gap. but overall I'm pretty satisfied with the nf210. Still ride as smooth as stock Name:  image_zpshtdmvliw.jpeg
