Hello

Im new to the boards and new to Lexus in general. My honda finally gave out after 11 long years. Had the option between BMW or Mercedes but was not confident in their reliability after seeing my friends cars at the shop so many times since I had to drive them there. So I picked up a loaded GS AWD and have not had one regret.

Well heres the car after 3 weeks of ownership, I gave in and bought new shoes even though I told myself I would keep it stock. Will be getting a drop after winter and cant decide between Fsport springs or coilovers. Read some info about GS AWD and the limited drop options and problems with vibrations. I just want a 1-2 inch drop since this car will be my DD to go to work and back.

thanks for the welcomes everyone. Went through all the pages in this forum and see some nice clean rides. Hopefully by the time winter ends my car will be dropped with a nice subtle lip kit
