Just Installed Bilstein Shocks
I just had Bilstein Sport shocks installed on all corners yesterday. I also have had new ball joints, tie rod ends and the Daizen sterring rack bushings done in the last six months. All I can say is WOW. If your car rides rough or hadles badly over rough pavement, I highly suggest these shocks, the car rides at 140,000 miles like it did when I bought it with 29,000 miles. Well worth every penny.

Much like what I experienced, I thought my car rode better than new with the new Bilstein shocks. I had the L-tuned springs (~$240) with my Bilstein Heavy Duty shocks (~$460 shipped, and the GS became a very enjoyable machine on the corners and all around driver. The ride firmed up (no more Lexus float!), yet it was still near-stock comfortable. If anything, I thought the ride was a little firm at first, but it softened up after settling in for a month, and I love the way it rides--all GS cars should have come this way from the factory. The steering response, linear highway steering, and cornering went at least a few notches in each category--at least in my experience.
Glad it worked out for you. I'm sure you'd agree-that the only issue with the setup was that I wish I did it sooner.
