After realizing with 100k miles on my 01 GS430, that I need to put in some money in fixing my loose broken down front end, I decided to put in new suspension with Daizen control arm bushings and ball joints, along with already changed our rack&pinion, rack joint/shaft, tie rods. I also had my pre-tentioner tightened. The loose feeling is 85% gone. I need new shocks and shock mounts they are all bad already. So after reading old post and trying to make some research on them and talking to TM Engineering, I came up with these possible set ups Tein S. Tech or Tanabe GF210 for springs, per the pics I saw the drop and road feel and ride is very good. L-tuned as I made research actually use a lower 1" drop and they are actually Eibach Pro springs and KYB GR-2 struts/shocks. So for shocks I decided to chose either KYB GR-2 or Bilstein Sport. KYB are $200 cheaper and Tein are a bit cheaper also. I m planning to get Daizen sways after. What set up would be the best road feel, comfort, and no floating feel, closest to BMW like ride without spending for Tein CS coilovers, I know most are going with those these days. I will be using stock 17" with 245/45/17 p-zero nero a/s for now. Thank you guys.

After brutal research and a lot of thinking and comparing and bugging few members on CL made a call to Todd at TM Engineering and he hooked me up with a set of Tein CS, new ball joints, Daizen Bushings, coming in 1 week!

Can't wait to see how this will change a look and feel of my GS..
