07 GS350 AWD DF210 NF210 RCA Spring Spacers
Just bought a 07 GS 350 AWD. Looking for pics and setup info. I like the drop In the rear of the NF210 springs and DF210 in the front. Is anyone using NF210 with RCA's in the front? Or DF210's with spring spacers in the rear. Coilovers are not in the budget at this time.

It hasn't been done because you are asking on buying two different springs for the purpose of NF in the front and DF in the rear with additional spring spacers and RCA drop blocks. For all the cost in the parts you are asking for is about the price for the coilovers itself.

If you like the look of the NF210s in the back, you will like them in the front. I have the NFs on my 2007 GS430, and it is VERY even front and back. I love mine. If anything, the front is already a tiny bit lower than the back with the NFs all the way around. The front would be way lower than the back if you did DFs in the front.

i wasn't saying i wanted to install all those parts together. I meant i like the rear height on the NF and the front height of The DF. And having an awd i was concerned about the front not being lowe enough with just NF.

I think his question is more toward his understanding that the AWD sits a bit higher than the RWD GS and the concern is whether he will get the traditional drop the RWD folks are getting. If not, then he is considering supplementing that to make up the difference with the RCAs.
AWD does sit a bit higher than RWD in the front, but the NF will still give you a reasonable drop. I would look at the wheel and tire thread to actually see NF drops on AWDs and figure whether or not they meet the need. I wouldn't do the RCAs on top of the NF just in the front on a AWD. It would look off even with a 20mm kit IMHO.

An AWD would stand a little bit higher in the front due to having beefier lower ball joints then RWD. The difference is maybe 10mm.
RCA will not help cure whobble's and vibrations in the front. So personally if youre planning on buying coils and RCA, a better option would be to just purchase megan coils. That way youll have fresh shocks aswell as springs.
