Default Ride Quality with tanabe

If I use Tanabe NF210 lowering springs, how much difference would the ride quality be? Gs350 (non F sport)

Thx

No significant changes to ride quality for me. Slightly stiffer than normal mode so you may feel a little more bumps...but not significant to me.

for the folks who have the fsport package, when you replace the springs, what happens when you use the drive select to adjust the suspension? is there an error light or nothing happens?

Yes I believe it does no matter who installs it because it's not factory parts. If you're worried about the warranty maybe install the factory lowering springs by Lexus

It all depends on who your Lexus service tech is. Mine is super cool and has a lowered IS and would never not cover anything on my car because it is lowered. Also if your car fuel system goes bad (just used this as example) there is no way that they can prove that because you lowered your car that your injectors went bad.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuso...s_Warranty_Act

Basically, the manufacturer doesn't cover any aftermarket parts installed. Warranty claims on manufacturer's parts can only be denied if a dealership can prove the a modification caused a failure of the manufacturer's part.
