Quick introduction:
- Lives in Wisconsin
- Not very mechanical handy
- Having really bad back pain issues lately
- 07 TL Type-S with Type S suspension

Doesn't care about the height anymore, I need the most comfortable suspension.

What should I get?
Where can I possibility get it installed?

Looking to switch the suspensions back once back issue is resolved.
Thanks everyone

the TL is designed as a sporty sedan.

IT IS DESIGNED to have a sporty suspension system, which includes stiff spring rates.

you could possibly move to the 07 TL BASE suspension, as i think Honda reduced the spring rate by 20%


but dont count on it being Lexus soft.

What about some aftermarket springs?
Would it help?

How long is your back situation going to linger on for?

Honestly, you have a better shot at borrowing someone's car/trading it with a friend or family who has a softer cruiser, then swapping when your back is good if possible. Saves you money and headaches. Most off the shelf springs and coilover units usually go towards stiffening the ride, unless you want to pay up for pricier units that could make your car a "tad" softer, but floaty and handle worse.

Or use public transportation.

Thank you for your suggestion.
I'll keep that in mind.
If all goes well it'll be good in a month

^ thats a great idea.

Easiest thing to do on your car is change the tires from low profile to a taller side wall tires. A touring type of tire would be best for comfort. Just go talk to a tire shop for recommendations.

Another thing that will really help with the ride is the tire selection, size, and amount of air in it. Your stock OD is 25.5", you could move to a 26" OD like I did, and run 29/30 psi and get a much smoother ride. If you need some help with this, just PM me, I'd be happy to help you out.

Your best bet for a comfort oriented suspension is getting oem springs and something like the KYB GR-2 gas shocks that are designed for comfort. As VisualEchos mentioned you could try going with a wheel that has more sidewall. Other than that, most aftermarket options will stiffen up the ride.
