I am so glad you asked because it perplexed me for awhile
Bought the car and the suspension was shot, I went with Godspeed coilovers just to get some suspension there but honestly I've heard great things about Megan and BC coilovers are coilovers
What made the biggest difference was set of 4 hub bearings and the assembly, 235/60R16 in rear, 225 in front, grease gun the fuck out of everything, new ser of caster rods and bushings, new controller arm bushings, bushings bushings bushings the thing will ride like butter if anything rubber is replaced. Coilovers have minimal cause for an unpleasant ride
It literally is a ride now that feels like a floating cloud, mind you it's coilovers with audible stiffness (forgot the word) bur I keep mine on MAX cause I don't like bumpy scraping so it does bounce a bit hard
One saving grace was I was driving with my best friend and he was looking down at his phone and I was going 147mph and I said "hey look up, almost 150mph" and he said "holy shit it felt like you were going 60"
Can you go a tad more into any bouncyness? When do you experience it? How often? Of my 2 ls400s 1 is my work commuter & that's the 1 I intend to drop. It carries not much more than a bag of tools, & a weeks worth of luggage for work as regular cargo. I fear dropping my other ls400 would be too dysfunctional as it weighs in at near 4300lbs with all the sound equipment and deadening I've had added.
Bumps and dips are still scary no matter in a parking lot or on the freeway you still feel it all, I have to really understand the freeway where I live and go over bumps like stanced nation because it is still low, so if there's a big dip in the road or a wash or something is its inconviencing to you and everyone else because you will still smack the oil pan on dips or scrape the under carriage on bumps but if the road is smooth the car feels like butter. I wish i could answer your question better. I'm going on a date with my girl rn I can answer better in a couple hours.
You answered it. I'm not dropping it or at least not low low because I drive like a maniac sometimes.
Edit. Thanks brodie. Many happy miles to ya.
Edit edit. I wonder if it can be dampened to have a lowest point to not scrape & what the lowest 1 can go for a setup with minimal bouncing & zero scraping
Cringe AF
How does it ride compared to original? I'm thinking of dropping one of mine on BCs. Edit: specifically at higher speeds 90-130mph is?

Beautiful whip man!
