I'm running those exact shocks on all 4 corners and it's the best handling car I own. They work great

Pros: best handling, work great

For shocks I’d probably run a KYB AGX with a pedders spring if you can’t get something like an eibach

As for the continental kit affecting the handling, I really don't think it makes a difference, the handling is terrifying! There is a long 90 degree curve near me, and when I try to push the car thru it, I get body lean, tire squeal, and understeer that slowly gives way to a neutral attitude.

Pros: balances out the weight

Cons: terrifying handling, body lean

I would rebuild the struts with new KYB shocks and retain the OEM springs and buy new OEM mounts. I have had terrible luck with quickstruts in a Lexus.

Cons: terrible luck

Vehicle: Lexus LS
