Thanks for the pictures!!!

So these TNF170 springs which are for the GS350 RWD works for RC350 RWD and AWD. Tanabe also has springs TNF182 for RC350 RWD listed on their site. These TNF182 do not work for RC350 AWD?

Excellent questions

I'm starting to think both sets will work and the difference being the drop. The GS having more drop than the RC springs in the rear. Just my best guess....
I really like how yours sets now. (NYC)

I sent the questions to Tanabe and this is their response:
As mentioned previously, we have only tested on the RWD RC350. Before we even released springs for the RC people were installing the TNF170 springs. We cannot confirm what can fit on the AWD as we have not tested on one since most people in California see no need in the AWD version of the RC


So for those that got their TNF170 springs, may I ask where you got your springs for and how much they are?

Thanks.

I ordered the TNF170 springs.

Anyone has any recommendation for a shop in Mass. to install the springs?

Looks really great!

TNF210 is the general model for the spring . http://www.tanabe-usa.com/nf210.asp?id=2

Did you get the TNF170 or TNF182?
How's the ride comfort and handling over stock?

Just installed the TNF170's today on my AWD. The back springs are a straight forward swap like the rear wheel drive cars.
The fronts are similar to the RWD's except where the strut bracket goes around the half shafts. There is a bolt underneath the strut to separate from the bracket / control arm. Care must be taken when reinstalling as there is a flat on one side that must line up to reinstall.
I will post pics tomorrow.

I got the springs installed on my AWD too. I do notice that the right sides are roughly 1/4 inch higher than the left, both front and back. Are they like that on your car too? Anyway we can make them all even, or as close as possible?

All 4 corners of mine are spot on even. It's possible the orientation of the spring in the perch was clocked wrong on yours during install. They have to be set the same from side to side.
A slight rotation either way from the end of the last coil in the perch either way can make a big difference.
