they are all good in the sense that they get the job done. it all depends on various factors like adjustability, ride quality, price, etc. determine the critieria that is important to you and choose the coilover that best meets your needs.

Hey Storm! Question, When installing Coilovers on the 06 GS 430, would the option of using the suspension switch be obsolete? Or would I be able to use the switch mechanism still after installation? Would the light pop up on the Dash?

I don't know if anyone's chimed on on factory suspension, but I've had bad experience on it, on no drop or mods and factory springs.

They blew on me @ 60k mi. This is with me dodging potholes and bumps everywhere I go (except the highway). That in return shows how sturdy they are IMO...

You are referring to the sport/normal button (ie AVS)? Yes, the option of using suspension switch is obsolete because aftermarket coilovers is not compatible with oem AVS. As long as the button is in the normal position, you should be ok
