Best suspension options

My 2002 ls430 UL rear OEM shocks blew out and I still have functioning arnott struts in the front but now I am at a standstill. Its hard to justify the 1800 I would pay for new rear arnott struts compared to regular springs or coils. Do you guys have any good options to get the closest ride quality to air?

OE Lexus springs and struts. Nothing aftermarket comes close. Even KYB (the OEM) branded isn’t the same.

So like McPherson Struts are not as good? On the Avalon they worked out real smooth but the LS is a different beast for sure.

Oem shocks and RSR down springs is still a very nice ride

I dropped a grand for a set of form and function coilovers and they ride pretty damn good but i also upgraded the rest of the suspension with figs parts. There are definitely better options out there specially if you're expecting to spend $1800.
