I never did get mine fixed.....it doesn't bother me. I have the seat belt light constantly blinking anyway....just another light. Plus, it causes me to check the dash periodically. Driving a Lexus makes you ignore the dash a lot.

no, any springs or coilovers setup that lowers the rear more than a certain value than the front will trigger the light

Could someone that fixed the AFS light give me more detail on the adjustments. I moved the sliding adjustment bolt in every position and no luck. Please help. The wife is upset with me now.


Also...does the car has to be started or just have the switch on.

I Have Asked People With The Tein And Tanabe Springs And It Seems Like It Only The Tanabe Springs. The Tanabe Have A .3 Inch Difference Between The Drop In The Front And The Back. The Tein Springs Lower The Car .8 Inch Front And .6 In The Rear. .2 Inches Is A Smaller Difference So I Assume That The Tanabe Springs Loer The Front To Muvh. I Wonder If Putting A 245/35 Front Tire Will Stop That Bec The Tire Is Taller And Will Raise The Front Up.this Is My Hypothesis

I'm running a 245/25 in the front with a 275/30 in the rear and the light is on. I wonder if I should adjust the front sensor too. There aren't any places that know about this type of stuff where I live and the DEALER is out of the question.

Man I Am Lost Still. Can Someonme Explain Exactly What To Do. From The Pics It Looks Like The Bolt Can Be Loosened But Then What? Does The Arm Adjust Vertically Or Horizontally? What Do You Mean When You Say Front And Rear Adjustment? I Am Starting To Feel Like Lowering This Car Is A Pain In The ***

By The Way Are All Of You With This Prob Running Tanabe Nf210. I Still Havent Heard Anyone With Tein Springs Complain About This. I Still Think This Is Strictly A Tanabe Problem

The problem is solved. It's not totally a spring problem it's an installer problem. With some help from the guys on the IS side I was able to figure it out. The leveling arm position if something everyone fails the remember. The pics should explain everything.

I Am Seeing A Little More Here. I Think I See Whats Going On. It Looks Like The Black Arm Needs To Be Lifted To Form An L Not A Z Shape If That Makes Any Sense
