I just got to the end of my lease on my GS400. I have decided to go ahead and buy the car out.. Love it.
However, I am NOT happy with the handling on my car.
I want to upgrade the suspension. I am looking for a slightly stiffer suspension but not a teeth jarring ride.
I really want to reduce body roll and improve cornering performance.
I would appreciate any information that anyone may be able to provide. I am interested in advice about what works, what doesnt, who the best vendors are, where I should go next.
NEWBIE? YUP? .... but greatful for help... thanks in advance.!

To answer your question specifically, the L-Tuned spring/shocks package is the way to go.

I'll be putting L-tuned springs and shocks on my GS430 in the next few weeks and I'm also in Atlanta. Maybe we can give you a chance to feel several alternatives in the near future.
