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.!

Welcome, Tom. I have a lot of suspension mods (see signature) and I'm in Atlanta. If you want to get together to see what it's like, e-mail me at bit_kahuna@yahoo.com.

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

Check my web site at:

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.
