Default Accessories in Build your GS at Lexus.com

When I use the "Build your GS" function on Lexus.com with my Northern California zip code, I find some F Sport Wheels and 1"-lower springs listed on the accessories page. I did not try all combinations, but these show up for both F Sport and non-F Sport RWD.

Price is "See Dealer."

Anyone know anything about these? Can you get the car with these originally so as not to pay for both the stock parts and these?

I grabbed some screen shots and descriptive text from the webpage. These wheels look different than those shown on the TRD site.





F SPORT 19-in Forged Full-Face Alloy Wheels with Performance Tires Elegant, aggressive full-face styling along with an exclusive Liquid Silver high-gloss finish, these F SPORT forged aluminum wheels offer a rare combination of style and performance. 19-inch x 8-inch front and 19-inch x 9-inch rear. Tires are Michelin Pilot Sport TBD TIRE SIZE . . . and TBD TIRE SIZE . . ., respectively.



F SPORT Lowering Spring Set Engineered to deliver lowered ride height without the vehicle bottoming out, this spring set lowers the vehicle approximately one inch in the front and rear for a more aggressive appearance and a lower center of gravity.

no it doesn't work that way. you can special order the car with the F-Sport parts, and the parts will be installed at the port. you'd be paying for the parts just like any other added accessory items on top of the price for the car.

I was wondering if the offer is real and if the wheels are actually available. Sounds like they are.

Thanks,

Thanks,
no problem. One of the new GS commercials has those F-Sport wheels on the car. i didn't search on youtube, but i bet it's on there if you're interested to see.

Guys, if anyone in the North East region of the US has a 4GS and is willing to lend the car to a reputable company who manufactures lowering springs, they are willing to give you a free set in return for lending the car for R&D.... figured someone might be interested.

They are located in Maryland area...

I'm about 20 miles outside of Los Angeles. I have the F-Sport. I'd be willing to negotiate something. Are you affiliated with Eibach?

The F-Sport lowering springs are now available through the dealer so can someone please post before/after pictures and report the actual drop. Lexus is not releasing the specific drop since they are only saying approximately one inch.

Default F sport springs

Yes, I'm 100% percent sure so call your dealer it's $299 and it's only available for the RWD version.. The part number is PTR07-30090.. Please just report the exact drop specs and post before and after pictures. Thanks!
