I have installed the JVR coilover set on my 2011AWD. The build quality is very similar to the BC coilover.
Install was straight forward with no fitment issues. The ride is very good, similar to the stock setup with a little less body roll. Dampers can be adjusted from full soft to stiff as you like. I lowered the car one inch on each corner. The damper setting is 32 ways adjustable. I have the fronts set on #5 from full soft and rear is set on #4 from full soft.
No squeaking or other unwanted noises, just a smooth ride.
The car still has the Lexus Luxury ride while sitting a bit lower than stock. I am enjoying this setup, highly recommended.
I purchased from Coiloverdepot.com for $999.00 shipped. Comes this everything needed for a complete swap.





This is the car prior to the coilover install, I will up date once I take some shot with the current ride height.

I was also tempted by the unity or strutmasters due to the price, but its just not worth it. BC coilovers are an option as well
How did your "build" turn out?

how much did you end up spending? about 18 months ago I replaced my air with a used set off of eBay an LS with only 80K miles just to practice and see if it could be done. The springs are shot now in the back with them almost being no room between the wheel well and the wheel where there used to be a good 2 inches.

I am looking to do all 4 at the same time with new equipment.

Thanks

What Tanable springs did you buy? LS460 is not listed among the cars they make springs for.

Thanks

I have the last set of tannabes brand new in box, they stopped making thhem

I actually found a nearly new set of OEM springs and struts pre built and used them, swapped in with no issues, no warning lights all is well
