Is it worth it I mean is the springs a good enough drop or should go with coilovers. Note there will be some weight in this car too.

The difference is very noticable. Money well spent. Car looks much better with the F-Sports. The front should "settle" a little more over time.

probably the cheapest mod you can do on this car

now you can remove the GS350 decal, and slap on an FSport.
Thanks and I could not believe the gap was 5 inches before...

Not sure about F-Sport badge yet haha... Kind of like putting an M emblem on a regular 3 series with say, an M shift ****?!

That could be.

If you are just looking for a drop, springs are enough to do that. That and it's a lot cheaper than coilovers. The great thing about coilovers is the ease install as well as adjustability of both height and hardness.

I almost couldn't handle it with aftermarket parts but the fact that Lexus came out with these F-Sport springs (with great discount right now), I just had to jump on it haha.

The car looks great. I cant believe how much gap you had in the front with the stock set up. DAMN I didnt think awd meant off road suspension. I am sorry but we never see awd GS's in AZ

That looks real nice.......you are right the frong still look a bit high, but I think that might just because you are not on level road. I think it will look even nicer while you are driving it.

No kidding. The AWD should only be like half an inch taller than the RWD but it sure looks more than that. You guys in AZ don't need AWD at all haha.

Thanks and yes I think it's probably because I was on an incline. That and I'm not sure if the stock springs were already in the trunk at that time or not so that could be it.
