Which route to go with lowering?
Hi guys, new member here. Just purchased a white GS350 AWD 2008. Stock height is very high and its the first thing I wanted to do. All maintenance/etc is up to date and the car is wonderful. Also have a bumper to bumper warranty for another 48k miles/4yrs.
The main thing for me is ride quality. I want to be lower, but not so low where ride quality is not Lexus like. Which coilovers or springs should I get? I have done some searching but nothing conclusive.
Please provide your opinions on your cars. Keep in mind it is AWD.
Thanks in advance and look forward to being a member here!

with the common issues of wobble/vibrating on the AWD I suggest going with the RCA's to lower your suspension. There are now two threads on these and its the first choice if I was looking. If you want coils I think BC is the only option. Springs you can pretty much go with any.
front RCA's
rear RCA's

I will look into that, but won't the car still look sort of high? I will post some pics of how it currently sits.
Thanks for the reply
Also where can I get those RCA's?

not sure if any AWD owners have tried this yet, but I assume not since the rears are just now available. Its not going to drop your car the same as the RWD so I would go with the most aggressive drop front/rear. IMO its worth a try considering the issues the AWD is prone to with coils or aggressive lowering springs.
PM the member that started both of those threads, I think there are two places to get them but its been a while so best to ask that member.
