Well, I just dropped the GS. One problem though... it rubs - don't get me wrong, it HARDLY rubs... ONLY when I'm driving on the highway and there's a dip, and it's a slight rub at that. Nonetheless, it's bothering the hell outta me. Any suggestions on how to get rid of it? I've been told by the guys at Carboy in Houston that I could get adjustable shocks and that would give me a stiffer ride, but would also prevent the rubbing. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again guys.

The Equip and Daytona are 2 different series from iFORGED, the Equips are the Racing Series which are 2pc only, no rivets availible and yield about a 3-3.25" lip on a GS. The Daytona are Precision Series and are availible in 2pc and 3pc, with rivets, and have about a 4-4.25" lip on a GS
If you have anymore questions feel free to let me know.

Well guys... First of all, I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and I hope everyone had a great Christmas.
I installed my Tanabe springs about a week ago. I took six pictures this morning. Tell me what you guys think. The car could be cleaner... but I was way too tired, lol. Now all I need to do is get my subs installed and order a body kit. I hope ya'll enjoy the pictures.

Niloy how is the ride (honestly?). I have the IForged Trials 20's coming in this week (hopefully) and I am still on the fence whether to go with the springs due to the possible ride changes.
Thanks,

Dave,
The ride, of course, isn't like the stock ride of the GS, but it's not bad at all. Believe it or not, the springs truly give you better handling and maneuverability. I had a three hour drive the other day from Houston to San Antonio, and it really made a huge difference. But of course, it makes the ride just a little bit stiffer. The springs basically do two things, in my opinion - 1) they make car look better, and 2) they take away the "floaty" sensation that Lexus offers by giving you a stiffer ride, more like a BMW. Either way, the car is gonna be awesome, so good luck in the decision. If you have any more questions, just ask away.
