so did you do what GS350on22s said? can you confirm there are no vibrations anymore? if so, this would be the solution for all AWD owners who want to lower!

so is it just a larger drop because of the higher ride height of the AWD??? I have a good friend in NYC ,who is a member , is having vibration problems with his rwd springs. Do you guys think that the springs can produce vibration???? I am not sure. I told him that I thought that the main difference in the springs is going to be the amount of drop.

adam it gives a 1.7" drop in the front an 1.2" in the rear. I think its gonna be to much of a drop with the 22's man. You already had rubbing and had to do fender and even bumper clip mods to use the very conservative Tein H techs. I am concerned you will not be able to use your twinkies

for the few who don't know,

the 2006 GS's need to do the "pedal dance" to turn off traction.

I think it's only 2008+ that has that. Mine is is a 2008 AWD and I have that button.

For the record, pressing the traction control button once turns off TCS but leaves VSC on. Holding the button down for 3-4 seconds will turn off VSC too (not really a great idea here with all the snow on the roads....).

look up the ecu upgrade thread i posted in the 3GS forum. someone posted the details to the pedal dance. you apparently need to do this if you are going to do a dyno (to stay in 3rd gear)
