Welcome to CL and glad to hear you're enjoying your GS300

Hanging around here can be dangerous to your wallet though...upgrades and mods become very tempting

yep i noticed that heheh
lowering car seems very tempting right now....

and.. anyone with Runflat tires have bouncing problems? on highway.. like 70 mhp and up?
I checked my tire pressure.. it's fine.. at 32psi.. I put the wheel on the balance machine.. it came out fine too.. and it seems the car kinda pulls to left too... ( I am not FAT.. so that can't be the problem) I don't think it's the road either.. cuz it only does that sometime...
other than that...Car is GREAT..

Welcome to CL!

Regarding the runflats that came with the car, I always found them to be pretty
harsh, especially over highway connectors. After a few thousand miles they get
a little bit better (or maybe I just got used to it). I was going to get Bridgestone
Turanza LSV's because I hated the runflats, but then I decided to upgrade
the wheels as well.

I should just wait and save some money and get New Tires and Wheels...
dang.. that is going to cost me some money... btw.. If i get a new wheels.. and while putting it on... Hand Torque? or just use Impact Gun... ^^; I could go easy with the Impact Gun...but I don't think i will want to wear the holes down...Since.. i rotate my tire like every 1500miles... heheh

As tempting as lowering sounds good luck if you want springs spec'd for the AWD, nobody makes any. Your best bet (right now) would be to try GS430 spec'd springs because the AWD is very similar in curb weight and weight distribution. I've spoken with a fe mfg.s and vendors and Tanabe and eibach are supposedly in development to release springs by Feb-March (hopefully).
