CEIKA Custom Coilovers for Lexus LS460 XF40 (07~17)

Excellent customer service and product

Overall I am very pleased with the coilovers. The dampening that I have set has a good ride feel and the overall build quality seems excellent. I can say that these coilovers are comparable in quality and ride to much more expensive brands that I have tried in the past and I would highly recommend them. Also Ceika has excellent customer support, I have reached out to them a couple times now and they are very quick with replies and super helpful.

Lexus LS460 Marshmallow ride correction.

The LS460 is a powerful sedan with sophisticated suspension that has the potential for great handling. However, stock spring rates are very soft, and there is lots of body movement during dynamic driving. Just got these installed. I wanted somewhat stiffer springs rates to get rid of the Lexus marshmallow wallow. However, these are a bit stiffer than I would have preferred. Very firm by comparison. Seem like high quality and well engineered assemblies. Be aware these do not come ready to bolt on and go. The overall length is not set. They are shipped at minimum length with lock ring loose. I wanted stock ride height to less than 1" lower. I started with overall length at 1/2" less than stock. It took some fussing to get the rears set due to the stiffer springs and preload, there was not nearly as much sag as stock. Back of the car wound up ~ 1" higher than stock even though I set the overall length to 1/2" less than the stock units. Took some fussing with the preload and length to get it right. Having said that, handling is great, and ride OK on relatively smooth surfaces. I am interested to see how it does on freeway expansion joints. There are not any options for more sporty conventional shocks for the LS460, or "heavy duty" stock replacement springs which led me to the Ceika option. Not knowing the stock spring rates I could not be more specific on the rates I wanted other than I wanted more of a Mercedes / BMW ride as opposed to Lexus Marshmallow. What I got certainly eliminated the wallow but is somewhat stiffer than I would like.

Ceika exceeded my expectations. '16 Lexus LS460

Initially, I was a bit apprehensive because there were not a lot of reviews online. I’ve understood the difference between a bespoke set of coilovers and a generic “one size fits all,” set of coilovers. The ability to order a setup, custom to your specifications, and interact with a knowledgeable consultant interested in getting you what you want, as opposed to just trying to sell you a product, is not to be taken for granted. Shipping was prompt and updated throughout to process of ordering to delivery. Professional, well-informed, and setting a realistic expectation for shipment, made this a great transaction. I am looking forward to ordering my next set of coilovers.
