Hey hows everyone doing. Im back trolling the site because i am really getting the bug for wheels and I just went out and measured my AWD ground to fender and I am sitting 27inches. Stock without anything. I honestly think the 07's and up sit much higher for some reason in the front. 27 inches in rear also. On stock 17's. How about others?? Can post pic if needed.

(In response to page 1 pics and measurements.) No wobbles just vibes in winter.

Springs are compatible between RWD and AWD.

Only coil-overs are different due to the front mounting/design.

when changing only the springs, do we have to worry about the alignment and wobble issues that come with AWD GS's??

some AWDs must sit lower than others do when stock. my 2008 stock height sits where yours is lowered. mine seems to sit really low stock than most AWDs I've seen posted. I'm at 27.5" from ground to center of fender in the front and 27" in the rear.

Springs are pretty much interchanglable between all the 3rd Gen models. The F-Sport springs are sold by Lexus.

No, 05 is generally a 2nd Gen GS (in the US). The struts will not fit.

If you lower an AWD you will get driveline vibrations

I have an 06 awd. i found a set of f sport springs for the newer gs line. it says it will fit 07-11. Is there something different about the 06 that would make it not work?
