Lexus LS Coilovers

The LS has worn the LS 400, LS 430 and LS 460 badges, but the chassis code underneath is what decides which coilover kits fit: UCF10, UCF20, UCF30 or USF40. Air suspension is the other thing that makes it easy to order the wrong kit. Here are all the Lexus LS coilovers we carry, sorted by chassis code, BC Racing first.

Read us the code, or your year and trim, at 1-800-460-9106.

Animated illustration. It shows where coilovers sit on a car, not your exact kit. Depending on the car and the kit, coilovers can lean forward or back or stand straight up, and some cars use a separate spring and shock in the rear. Your ride height depends on the kit and how it is set up.

Find your LS by code

What to check before you buy

Check these three things, in this order.

Chassis code, not badge

Two different LS 400s share one name. UCF10 runs to 1994 and UCF20 starts at 1995, and each has its own kits.

Air suspension

Ksport's LS 460 kit does not fit cars with factory air suspension. Other kit names do not say, so check your car and call.

Drive and trim

Every BC LS kit name says RWD. If your LS is all-wheel drive or a hybrid, ask us before you order.

BC Racing, LS 400 to LS 460

BC makes four kits, one for each code

BC Racing makes four series for the Lexus LS: BR, DS, ER and ZX. BR and DS come on all four kits. ER and ZX are sold only on the 1995 to 2000 LS 400 kit. Free shipping on BC Racing kits in the continental US.

See all BC Racing coilovers The UCF20 kits

BR and DS on every LS, ER and ZX on one

Here is which series comes on which LS.

BR, all four kits

BR has one knob that sets compression and rebound together over 30 clicks. On a big sedan driven gently, that is a good place to start.

DS, all four kits

DS uses the same one-knob, 30-click setup, with a digressive piston (firmer low-speed control) inside.

ER and ZX, UCF20 only

ER has an upright (not inverted) damper, an outside reservoir and 30 clicks of separate compression and rebound adjustment. BC calls ZX its "most track-tested" system.

To get Swift Springs on one of these BC kits, order through the Custom Build for BC Coilovers page.

Fortune Auto, Ksport, TEIN, Feal and Swift

We carry five more brands for the LS. If you are not sure which suits your car, call 1-800-460-9106.

Fortune Auto

Fortune Auto kits are hand-assembled in Powhatan, Virginia. There is one kit for each code, from the UCF10 to the USF40.

Ksport

Ksport has one kit each for the UCF10, UCF20, UCF30 and LS 460. Its LS 460 coilovers leave out cars with factory air suspension.

TEIN

TEIN has its Flex Z kit for the LS 430 (UCF30).

Feal

Feal has one kit, for the second LS 400 from 1995 to 2000.

Swift Springs

Swift has Sport Springs for the 2018 to 2024 LS 500, the one LS here with no coilovers.

Kits for comfort, a low stance or sharper handling

A quiet, comfortable ride

Start with a small drop. If you want to change damping later, ask us which kits allow it.

Kits to look at: BC Racing BR, Fortune Auto, TEIN Flex Z (LS 430)
The low stance

For a sedan that sits low on wide wheels, plan the height around your wheels and tires, and check clearance before the first long drive.

Kits to look at: BC Racing BR or DS, Ksport, Feal (UCF20)
Sharper handling on an LS 400

For LS 400 coilovers, the 1995 to 2000 car is the one where BC sells ER and ZX. ER lets you adjust compression and rebound separately on a big sedan.

Kits to look at: BC Racing ER or ZX, Fortune Auto, Feal

Lexus LS coilover kits, newest to oldest

We carry fifteen kits across five chassis codes. Each card opens the full kit name and price.

Notes in BC kit names: "Extreme by Default" means the kit ships as BC's Extreme Low version as standard, built shorter for a lower drop.

Five LS chassis codes side by side

Model Years What decides the kit BC Racing series
LS 500 2018 to 2024 Springs only (Swift) No BC kit
LS 460 2007 to 2017 Air suspension (Ksport excludes it); RWD (BC) BR, DS
LS 430 2001 to 2006 Fortune kit years differ BR, DS
LS 400, UCF20 1995 to 2000 Not in the kit names BR, DS, ER, ZX
LS 400, UCF10 1990 to 1994 Not in the kit names BR, DS

Before you buy: what LS owners run into

LS owners prize the ride, and most leave it alone. The ones who fit coilovers are often replacing failed air suspension rather than chasing a lower stance. That is the pattern we could verify. For anything else on your LS, ask us.

Air suspension leaks and height sensor warnings
LS 430 (2001 to 2006) and LS 460 (2007 on) with air suspension

LS 430 owners on ClubLexus report leaking air struts, broken height sensors and cars sitting uneven, and many plan coil conversions. Converted owners report height and AFS warnings, and advise keeping the height sensors connected and centered. The height sensors also feed the AFS headlights, so pulling them sets warnings.

Before you install: Confirm whether your LS has air suspension, since at least one LS 460 kit excludes it, and plan how the height sensors and AFS will be handled.

LS history

The sedan Lexus started with

Lexus launched in 1989 with two sedans, the LS 400 and the ES 250, and, in its own words, "a commitment to pursue perfection."

  1. 1994
    A new LS 400The completely redesigned second LS 400 went on sale. Our kits list it as 1995 to 2000.
  2. 2001
    LS 430Lexus calls it the third generation of its flagship, with a new 4.3-liter V8 and a longer wheelbase.
  3. 2006
    LS 460The LS 460 and LS 460 L went on sale. The LS 600h L hybrid followed in 2007.
  4. 2017
    LS 500Lexus showed the fifth-generation LS 500 in Detroit. On this page, only the Swift springs fit it.

Each generation has its own code. Match yours to the kits above.

Lexus LS kit questions

My LS has air suspension. Can it take coilovers?

Ksport's LS 460 kit does not fit cars with factory air suspension. The other LS kit names do not mention it either way. Call us with your year and trim before you order.

Which LS generation do I have?

Go by the chassis code. UCF10 and UCF20 are the two LS 400s and UCF30 is the LS 430. Our LS 460 kit names say USF40. For a long-wheelbase or all-wheel drive car, call us.

Is there a kit for the LS 600h L?

None of the kits on this page names it. Our LS 460 kits are made for the LS 460, so call us if you drive the hybrid.

What BC Racing series can I get for my LS?

Every LS kit comes in BR and DS. ER and ZX come only on the 1995 to 2000 LS 400 kit.

Can I lower an LS 500?

We do not carry LS 500 coilovers. Swift sells Sport Springs for the 2018 to 2024 rear-drive car.

Does the BC Racing LS kit have a warranty?

BC Racing North America currently lists a two-year limited warranty on full kit orders, subject to its warranty terms. Each of the other brands sets its own warranty terms.
