Default Tein High Tech springs

Hey guys...Question about these springs. I just traded in an 06 IS350 for a 07 GS350 awd. Love the car but hate how high it sits. My old IS had the sports suspension which made it slightly lower, now im thinking of slightly dropping the GS. The tanabe nf210 drops the car over an inch, but the tein high tech drops it just shy of an inch. Im kinda looking for a REALLY mild drop, something kinda like RWD GS's stock, cause just hate the additional 0.5 inch increase on the AWD GS's. Input would be great from you guys....thanks

I have the NF210 on my 06 GS430 and love the way it rides very smooth couldn't tell a difference, and it looks really good definitely looks drop IMO.

I like the look of the NF210 on 3GS JMO.

I am thinking of dropping my GS, but would like to know the following questions:

1. How much of drop really, after months of driving?
2. Were you able to do alignment on it, so tires won't wear out unevenly?
3. Does it rub?
4. Does it make it a firmer ride, this is what I really want?

Thanks,

Steve

Hey Steve, do you live in Houston? if so you can meet me up and test drive my GS to see if your going to like it.
How low is it really? I am not sure just Install them 1 week ago.
yea I got a alignment done and he said it in reasonable specs. no tire wear.
No rubbing at all not even close to rubbing w/ stock 18''
As far as a firmer ride hmm maybe just a lil bit but rides very smooth still.
Ill try taking some today if the rain lets up, Pics will come very soon..

GUY's....ur ignoring the issue. Did anyone or know anyone who has used these springs. Would like to know before i purchase. Also, i know its been discuss numeros times, but can the third Gen GS camber be adjusted without using a KIT, as minimal as it can be adjusted, even though theres no KIT available....
