Default How to drop GS450h F Sport 1-1.5 inch?
Looking for advice on how to lower my car no more than 1 inch. Any suggestions?
I found the RS*R springs in Japan, but they will low down the car on 30-35mm front and 35-40mm rear... I'm afraid of rubbing after installing 19 inch rims with this springs.

I have been looking for springs for my GS as well. RS*R has a spring that lowers it .98" to 1.10".
Tanabe springs lower your car 1.1" front and 1.2" rear..
Problem is finding the springs. Nothing available til April on either

Are you sure that Tanabe springs will fit 2013 GS450h F Sport?

Keep in mind the GS 450h weighs nearly 400 lbs. more than a GS 350.
