Default Pics of lowered GS450h with rims

I went up to Kyoei in Tempe, AZ this past Friday and Jin really hooked it up with my NF210's. I must say I'm quite impressed with the new look of my car. Since the GS450h weighs more than any other GS, I think my car actually sits an additional .2 to .3 lower than the expected 1.3/.9 that I was supposed to achieve with these springs. Take a look at the below pics to see the transformation of my stock GS450h, w/ 20's, and finally w/ the springs and 20's installed. This should keep me satisfied for awhile. I'll be getting a Carson-Tuned trunk spoiler installed tomorrow, and I do plan on installing a body kit at some point, but first I'd like to see the way a few look in person.

Feedback (negative or positive) is always appreciated.

Thanks.

No but I'm getting it painted and installed for free from some people up in Mesa, AZ seeing as I need to get minor bodywork on the front fender anyways.

Why didn't your car come with the lexus trunk spoiler? Thought they all had that.

GS with oversized wheels looks a bit cartoonish to me, but that's just me. For me, 19s is probably the limit before it starts looking weird.

Left -stock. Right - NF210 ?

Very nice! Also thinking about Tanabe springs.
Not extreme drop. Exactly what I need.

There have been modded GS 450h's on this forum FOR YEARS now you might want to look at the 450h forum.

Looks great. GS cars are just too tall and needs to be dropped. Way to go!

Hey Ricky car looks good. Glad to hear Jin took care of you. You need to now come out to some of the meets and shows we do.

Thanks 187. I knew the NF's only dropped the GS 1.3"/.9" but since my car weighs more and uses the same springs as they GS350 I think it's closer to 1.5"/1.1". I'm actually tucking tire slightly in the front and rear.

Yeah, I've seen a few here on the Hybrid section of the forum but nowhere near the numbers for the 350/430/460's. Probably due to the number produced in comparison to the other models.

Yeah, alot of people have said that. I'm not sure why it didn't either. Either way I got my trunk spoiler for $49 shipped, and it's a Carson-Tuned, and I'm getting it painted and installed for free. Worth every penny if you ask me.

GS with oversized wheels looks a bit cartoonish to me, but that's just me. For me, 19s is probably the limit before it starts looking weird.
If you saw it in person with a proper drop I don't know how you could see it in any other way than "Lovely!".......to each their own though.

I couldn't agree more. It's even more noticeable if you install 20's without doing the drop on the same day like I did. I was sort of starting to look like one of those guys in the south who puts 28's on old classics.....

Thanks for the hookup Ron. I'll definitely have to come up there soon to see whats up.
