How a stock GS AWD should look! Pics included
I'm baaaaaaaaaaack!
It's been awhile since I've posted, so I figured I'd wait until I could post something good. A majority of us have moaned about how the stance looks for the GS AWD edition...including myself. I finally pulled the trigger and put on some Tanabe NF210s and swapped out my factory 17s with some ISP Mode 18s. I am now running:
Tanabe NF210s
18" Lexus ISP Modes
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S - 245/40/18
Here are the before and after pics:
Before - (Stock 17s w/ Dunlop Runflats)
After - (Dropped - ISP Mode 18s w/ Michelin Pilot A/S)
Before
After
Much better, right?!
I have to give props to VIP Garage of Sterling, VA. Anyone in the Northern Virginia area looking to get some car work done, check these guys out! They did a flawless job swapping out my springs, mounting/balance my new wheels/tires, and making sure everything worked. (No check engine light after drop!) Not only that, but they were able to do the entire project in one day and their pricing was low!
I will definitely be taking my car back for any future upgrades/mods. Here is their info:

Congrats on getting your AWD dropped. Looks good. Appears more and more AWD peeps are using the NF's for their AWD application. For me "should" would be 19's or 20's. Enjoy your ride man.

great working with you! Thanks for the opportunity. The car looks and rides AMAZING. When we did the post install test drive it was surprising to find that there was no note worthy difference in comfort but didn't feel as "squishy" as the stock setup.
Hope we get to do more of them and work with you more in the near future.
