Should I go with some F-Sport springs or get some aftermarket springs or coilovers? I have an AWD so it is really high right now, would like to go with this look :



What setup should I get?

The suspension forum is pretty dead so I hope I can get some replies here.

Thanks!

Do you value the nice quiet vibration free ride you have now?

Many have lowered the AWD, almost just as many put it back after they find out what it does to the car's personality. Wobbles, shakes, vibration. Its not really all that pleasant.

I second this... its true, and there are threads and threads about it.

Hmm I see. I read some people put some sort of blocks in? Is that possible on awd? The car is way too high for my taste.

They are called RCA blocks. I saw someone with awd and has 20mm ones installed. Looks fantastic. Where can I get them can anyone help? I couldn't find them.

Here is my AWD with 20mm RCAs. Everything is fine until you load people in the car. It would wobble slightly on acceleration with people in the car.

^ that actually looks really good. good to hear its only with passengers. So one more little adjustment and your golden

here is what I would suggest if you or others want to try...



this is from a S2000 but look at the rear axle and the spacers used. The S suffers from the same issues when lowered and this has been used to correct the problem. I had them on my S before selling it and they worked great. Not sure if anyone makes them for Lexus but they should be easy for someone to make if not.

So these three items could be the cure to the AWD wobble issues when lowered.

Hope someone gives it a try and reports back

I have an S2000 and use the same Megan Spacers on mine. Works wonders and totally does the job. Does anyone make these for the Lexus GS? Any experiences anyone can report?

the way the front axles attach, you cant use a spacer like the one on the s2k

So what we're saying here is that theres no way out there to lower the GS AWD properly, in a manner such that there wont be any vibrations or unwanted side effects (aside from a slightly firmer ride)

hmm. sounds like opportunity lol

Thanks.
