Red face Lexus GS F-sport springs not coming

Just got word that Lexus dropped the program for aftermarket springs and likely parts for the GS. Very disappointed to here this even though many of us already use aftermarket suspensions. I was hoping they would have additional factory support for the 4GS but guess not.

A lot of you were holding your breathe since last year, so let me take you out of your misery I'm super happy with our RS*R springs.

I guess Toyota's (and Toyoda's) spiel on appealing to enthusiasts was all hype and no substance. What I don't understand is that TRD parts are already on sale in Japan. How hard is it to rebrand those parts as "F Sport", paint them blue, and ship them to North America?

Very happy with my RS*R's too, glad I didn't wait around for the F-Sport's only to read this post.

The springs have been removed from the Lexus GS accessories website:

The FSPORT line of accessories was an over priced flop to begin with.

Installed the Tanabes on my RWD F-sport. Very happy with the ride and drop! Ride is close to stock.

LOL - For longtime Lexus folks this is nothing new.

This is exactly what happened with the LTuned program 10yrs ago!

Lexus bottom line is making profits - bring more of the ES and RX.

I'm sure GS-F will also be cancelled at this point..........
