THis is a VIP Dump and with VIP potential on a 3GS.

Hate to say it, but Asanti wheels don't fit the VIP or "styled" criteria.

Default Feedback From Tein On Lowering Springs for GS AWDs

I8ABMR,

I reached out to Tein & inquired about the H Tech springs for AWD GS's & their feedback today was:

Evel,

We are still looking to test a AWD, if you are in CA , Torrance area and
willing to lend us your vehicle to test the spring let us know.
=============================
I live on the east coast, so I cannot play the role of lab rat, but I refered the tech to this forum to find someone on the in Torrance w/ an AWD model to be their test dummy. He gave no comment on the risk of using the current H Tech springs on the AWD, so I assumed it means use them, as well as, the Tanabe NF210's at your own risk.

I agrre but I wish it had alittle more male appeal. deeper exhaust note, paddle shifters, and maybe another 30hp. Still think its the best car Ive owned, and I will add the exhaust

Here's the latest interpretation of my GS350 at J's Gathering Japantown SF 1/13/08. The other Starfire Pearl next to my car is a 2008 IS-F:
