AWD lowering springs
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!

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

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.

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:

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

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..
