looks good.

Excellent result and the pics during the installation were very interesting. Any more feedback on ride/handling?

Thanks.

Thanks. After some more driving over the weekend, the review is pretty similar to the first impression. I can feel the road more, and it leans a lot less during cornering. It also gives me more confidence when cornering. I probably go at least 10 MPH more on the ramps now. Still no vibration yet (knock on wood).

I will take some pic maybe today or tomorrow on a level ground. I'm not sure how long it takes the springs to settle but I would assume a few days?

Did you have to do alignment? If yes, were you able to bring everything within specs?

Haha sorry haven't done it yet. Will do it soon though.

still haven't installed mine yet, but the dealership said their quote included an alignment. is there any harm to having the alignment done at the same time the springs are installed? also, did you have to do any adjustment to your headlights?

My buddy mechanic told me to get an alignment after two weeks but I don't think it'd make a big difference getting it right away. Maybe see if they can hold on to the alignment and get it done next time you go in for service?

Oddly enough nothing needed to be done with the headlights. That or maybe it was done but I just wasn't informed.

How are the F-Sport springs holding up on your AWD? I have the same car and am thinking about getting either the Tanabe NF210 or the F-Sports.

Any vibrations (as many others have expierienced when lowering)?

Your ride looks great btw!!

Thanks!

I went with the F-Sport because it's Lexus accessories and I cannot really comment on NF210 vs. F-Sport.

As for vibrations, if you have vibrations already, it obviously won't go away. As for my AWD, I've always had slight vibrations in the winter and I suspect it will still be there. However, I don't have the wobbles while-in-motion like some other people have reported. Good luck!

Have you noticed any suspension noise with your F sport springs installed? It's been pretty cold here the past few days (8-10C or about 50F) and I noticed at really low speeds (e.g. 8-10 km/h or 5 mph) there was a bit of noise.

And the wobble people are talking about, is it a vibration at around 3000 rpm+? I was late for work one day and I was doing some acceleration at highway speeds (120-140 km/h or 75-85 mph) and noticed some vibration that I didn't notice before with my OEM springs...

Creaking noise or what? I haven't noticed anything but I don't usually drive with the window down either.

I think the wobble is in-motion but I don't know specially around what engine RPM though. One guy mentioned at slow speed earlier.

Usually I drive with the tunes on so I wouldn't have heard it but one night I had the music off and I heard like a clunking type noise. I think they occurred over slight bumps (nothing major by any means --small imperfections in the parking lot).

I'll keep an ear out for it.

I am in the same position here. Before I was trying to decide between the NF210 or the DF210. I finally decided to go with the NF, and know this.....

More sleepless nights....

Can't go wrong either one though!
