Hey Guys,

Can people post pics of their different springs? I'm looking to see the differene between L-Tuned, Eibach and H&R springs. I will be buying a set next week and want to see some "real world" examples. Thanks.

Here ya go... 1" drop on 19's.
Please note that the rear looks lower due to speaker box in trunk.

Here's a distant pic of Eibachs with factory 17's. I have some closer-up pics, but not with me my on my laptop.... I believe they're in the GS-gallery (look for Charlotte city pics).

I'm pretty sure L-tuned springs are actually made by Eibach, but have never read anything that says they are *exactly* the same as the Eibach springs... I got mine before L-tuned were offered by Lexus.

Mine:

*98 GS400
*LTuned Springs & Shocks
*~1" drop all the way around - (maybe a hair more; haven't measured in last few months; may have settled more)
*I thought it looked good with OEM17s; still excellent ride height with recently added (R)19x9.5 & (F)18xs8.5

PS
When I had my OEM17s, mine and Dave's were, I would say, had identical ride height and wheel gap measurements, and pretty much the same ride quality.

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the pics. Dexter- how is the ride quality with the new suspension compare from the 17's to the 19's? I'm running 18's now but they look just a bit small for the GS4. Thanks.

The change in ride isn't that bad, but it is noticable, more so over imperfections in the road surface, but that will happen with lower profile tires, regardless of outside diameter.

The larger wheels emit a little more road noise, but inside the GS, with the Borlas, and the stereo, and the factory sound deaden-ing (a word?), plus the Dynamat in all the doors, you can hear it, but it isn't that bad either.

Small trade-offs IMHO.

Jacko,

I've got Bilstein shocks to go with the Eibachs, plus some other suspension mods that shouldn't make any difference in lowering / looks (click on link next to my signature for a list of them).

**edit** Jacko, I just clicked on my own link and realized that our website has been seriously horked up... this one is several iterations old - check back a bit later for an update.
