Default f sport vs non f sport height

Does the f sport sit lower than the non f sport or are the springs the same?

They are the same. However, all RWD GS350's sit lower than their AWD brothers......

Thanks. Can you recommend VERY high quality springs for an AWD 4 GS that will lower it around an inch?

Also wondering if you drop the AWD using the springs, does someone have specific alignment settings or do you not have to worry about it? I've got a great alignment guy that will set the car up any way wanted so for example if I wanted to set my Vette up for the track he could do it by the numbers I gave him, and then I could also give him street numbers to help make the tires last longer.

Yes, your camber would be off. Your ride would suffer since it would be lower. You would feel more of the road.

With only 1 inch drop, you should be able to get the alignment back in spec. The ride will suffer, but not by much.
