2006 GS300 AWD with Tanabe Lowering Springs
I bought Vossen Wheels but I do not want to put them on without lowering the car. I have seen other posts where Tanabe 210 were used on AWD. Did you have any problems with knocking, fitment or any problems at all. Tanabe reps have said there has not been enough testing to iron out all the bugs. Any help would be appreciated.

I wouldn't recommend the DF210. The drop is very aggressive. I believe you will have major rubbing issues, a harsh ride, your tires are not going to last very long and your struts/shocks will wear much faster. Keep in mind, for whatever reason all of the aftermarket companies who manufacture lowering springs for the 06+ GS do not specify for AWD. I would keep the drop as subtle as possible (Tanabe NF210) just to make sure that no powertrain components experience any accelerated premature wear (e.g. front CV boots and axels).

Also on your wheel/tire setup isn't the second tire choice a greater overall diameter, the first was off by .02" ? Why did you go that route ?
