I think the earlier GS's (98-99) have some know rattle problems in the glovebox area also (in addition to the sunroof)...

Dunno, on my GS430, I don't have any rattles unless I'm going down some wierd angled driveway (then I get some very, very minor squeeking sound)...but it did this even when my car was bone stock.

Wsuch mild suspension changes like Ltuned, I highly doubt it would "create" such problems...even my H&R coilovers have never created these problems...(and I'm running 20's also)

I remember reading somewhere that with the STB, sways, braces..etc, it's supposed to tighten up the chasis or body of the car. Since the body is tighter, things are less prone to move around, thus, less rattling, and lossening of components inside the car!

Or is that just ads put out by aftermarket manufacturers

I recently had the Bilstein PSS installed and didn't notice any increase of notice or rattleling. I guess I should consider myself lucky.

Default glove box too

I also have the rattling problem with the glove box too, the lexus dealer couldn't point out the problem of both the sunroof and glove box. This made me so frustrated. I've even tighted the screws of the glove box, but no difference at all.

siubo - glovebox probs can be fixed with foam around the glove box opening.
