Hey guys, I may be picking up a new 2015 GS 350 f sport awd tomorrow if they have the one I want in stock and don't have to dealer trade, and I was wondering what springs would get rid of the awd wheel gap, but not be too low for snow, and that I could interchange wheels from summer (possibly a 20") to winter (the stock wheels). Any pictures would be greatly appreciated!

I got the RSR down springs on my 2014. Been pleased so far. Its a subtle drop.

You can put the Tanabe springs on it too...even though they're only for the RWD...

Are you in Lexington? I noticed the UK avatar.

Thanks! I'll check them out. Is it a pretty even drop all around?

jtrue28

Yes, I live in Lexington.

Will the RSR Downs hurt the shocks?

Should the shocks be replaced while doing Drop Springs? If so, what do you guys recommend?

Aweome, I live in Georgetown, just bought my GS 350 F-Sport from the Lexus Store of Lexington today. They had to dealer trade to get one in.

Its a nice drop all the way around. It looks like about a 2 inch drop. No need to mess with shocks. Make sure you get an alignment done after about 100 or so miles on them. Ill try to post pics here.

I went with these since they were made for AWD and its gonna be ok with my daily driver. I plan on putting my 20's on in a week or so.

What shop did you use to install your springs? I'm getting quotes of 600+ to install them.

jtrue28

Never had it done. I ran into the same problem you are having...and then also had a baby, so no need for lowering that car. I just know from following this forum since 2008 that Tanabe has always made appropriate springs for this car.

I bought springs, but ended up selling them without ever taking them out of the box.

If you're mechanically inclined...there is a DIY on installing springs:

$600 is something Lexus would charge. You should not pay more than $200 - $300 for a job like this.

I really depends on where you live... I have called around and have got the same $600ish quotes from several shops. I even called some shops 100 miles away and they were about the same price. There aren't many around here doing it (southern Indiana), so they can name their price. They also don't have a lot of experience doing it, so it takes them a LONG time. Many quoted a full day
I have an AWD also, but can't see $1000 for an inch and a half of drop. I may change my mind later though. I hate the ride height

KJD3

I have to agree.

Do we have a F-Sport lowering spring option from Lexus?

The site says:

Front -25mm to -30mm (-1.0inch to -1.2inch)
Rear -30mm to -35mm (-1.2inch to -1.4inch)

That's less drop than NF210 and Super down, correct?

The RSR is the most popular option for the AWD units.. I have some in stock if interested! Also install should be $200 at most in my opinion..
