I am new to this forum so your help is appreiciated. I am looking at purchasing a 02 or 03 ls430. I drove two '03s one with the regular suspension and one that had the ultralux package with the air suspenion. Both had 17" wheels. I am comming from an volvo 850R which has very stiff suspension. I also drove an 03 MB E320 and an 03 BMW 530 with sport package.
Since I am comming from a lighter car with a very stiff suspension perhaps my opinion is a bit slanted but here it is. I thought the E320 and the stock ls430 were very similiar in ride with the E320 perhaps being a little sportier. I found that the ls430 w/ultra lux package and suspension set to sport had a ride similiar or closer to the BMW. Of the two lexus' for my taste I preferred the ultralux set to sport the regular was to soft for me.
I am having a tough time finding one to drive that has the sport suspension package. Has anyone driven one? If so how does it compare to the other ls suspension packages? I dont really need all of the options on the ultra lux although I would like nav and mark levinson, perhaps the perforated cooled seats, etc. I don't know if the sport suspension was available with the custom luxary package?
Any feedback. I definately want a sportier ride than the standard suspension. I guess one option is to get one with the base suspension and have it modified but I dont know what this would involve or cost?
Your input is appreciated
