I've offered my GS350 AWD for testing. Hoping they will take my offer. I'm free anytime & only 30 min away.

As of right now it is only for RWD vehicles. We will possibly be doing R&D on an AWD vehicle in the near future.

You are correct, the GS300 springs have a different spring rate than the GS350 springs.

I tried to help the AWD guys out by offering my car for testing. I know that most people with AWD models need to have a car with enough clearance for slow and other conditions…..which is fine. There are some people that have AWD cars that do not need the car to be as high as an SUV in their area. I believe that there is more then enough demand that it would be in the manufacturer’s interest to at least offer a solution, or confirm if it’s possible or not. I may be the only AWD in So Cal for another month or so……before the ISF comes. I’ll do my best to contact other manufacturers like Tein & Eibach that are local to me to see if they are interested.

Tanabe,

Let's get going official testing on AWD models. A few weeks ago I received an e-mail response from Tanabe stating they were looking for AWD owners near you willing to allow testing. You've got a volunteer, in your area, willing to do so. I'm too far away (D.C.) to volunteer.
