can a 450h be lowered using coilovers for the gs300/350/430?


TIA

 

i believe yes (remember reading some posts before), but not 100%

 

Yes, I lowered using Tein Comfort Sport Coilovers for the GS430. That was my only option since there are none created for the 450h. I initially lowered it using Tein HTechs, but it was so imbalanced (rear was significantly lower than the front and it looked aweful). Right now, coilovers is the only way to go on 450hs and I'm very happy with the Teins (obviously, I need to change my signature). . . .

 

I have lowered my 450h with the Tanabe NF210 (I have the APSSS, so no coilover for me), they are fine, very balanced front and back hare are some pics:

 

TimeToy you're my hero!
Coilovers are also not an option for me... I decided to go with nf210, but some CL members said it wouldn't look good, because of heavier rear... It seems they were not correct. It looks great, and I'm going to do it on my car as well... Thanks for the pic

 

TimeToy,
How long have you had your springs on? Have you noticed any additional drop over time?
Thanks

 

Why does APSSS not work with coilovers? To my knowledge, APSSS should work fine with coilovers....

 

I am guessing APSSS is the sport mode for the shocks to go stiffer. If so, then getting coilovers would defeat that. Sure you can go with TienCS, but then u have to pick up the TEAS kit I believe to adjust the shocks. Something along that line, I'm too lazy to look it up.

 

no, apsss is the active powered stabilizer suspension system, it's the computer adjustable sway bars. the one you talked about is avs, adaptive variable suspension.

i also wonder why coilover won't fit on apsss.

the system for tein is called edfc btw. the setup for tanabe is called teas

 

you took the words right out of my mouth, henry! yeah, what rominl said!
