Smile 07 AWD Lowered with F-Sport Springs! (Pics)

Well... My buddy finally had time to squeeze me in his busy schedule and lowered my AWD today with the F-Sport springs! Thanks KB! (He's got a sweet turbo'd SportDesign 2GS)

First impression after driving it for about 4 miles is that I can feel the road more as the suspension is tighter, there is less body lean in the corners, and it definitely makes the 3GS feel sportier. My gf just says it's more fun to drive now haha. The springs have obviously not settled yet but I think the front is still a little bit higher than the rear. I suspect that's just an AWD thing. Anyways, no error with the leveling thing and I'm lovin' it!

With Lexus and Sewell's promotion, it was about $210 shipped.

Thanks! I'm super excited too! I've wanted to lower mine for awhile and when the F-Sport springs came out, I knew that was the one I wanted.

Nah I'm happy with the stockers For us AWD owners, those rims are already "aftermarket."

holy 5" wheel gap

nice $210 mod.

very cheap with DIY.
probably the cheapest mod you can do on this car

now you can remove the GS350 decal, and slap on an FSport.
