Default 16 GS350 F-Sport : RS*R Down Springs : 15mm Spacers

I've only seen 1 other 4GS on RS*R Downs so I figured I'd share a few of my pics.

Tanabes are lower but I didn't like how there is more wheel gap in the rear than the front. RS*R Downs are a mild level drop. Wish it was a tad lower but overall satisfied with the outcome.

These look good. I am contemplating the RS*R's and the Swifts. Looking for something that is modest as I don't plan to remove them when I turn in my lease in 3 years. I never really considered a drop for my '13, but I feel like the wheel gap on my '16 is higher. Maybe it's an optical illusion but I cringe a bit more with this one than I did with the last.

Is your GS RWD or AWD?

I am very inclined to remove the front license plate until I get pulled over and order a grimmspeed license plate relocator... I have seen too many BMWs, BENz, and Maseratis without plates...

Looks great though that USB 2.0

The drop is approximately 0.5-0.6" all around.

^THIS

The older I get, the more I treasure ride quality over wheel gap or stance.

Besides, I get the "Family Flush" when the car is fully loaded anyway.

I drive on Sport + all the time so I actually don't feel any difference from stock. Maybe slightly stiffer but not enough for me to notice.
