Yes free at last! I was so excited I didn't even take the coil overs off. I bet the potential buyers who test drive this car are going to be like WTF!

I wonder if the dealer is going to hit me up for the stock suspension..I have it but would rather sell it to someone else.

Sorry liked the GS better, but I have the same car so I'm biased

I understand why you switched though. I have BC coilovers sitting around unused because I won't install them until the fix for the wobbling is finalized. Thought many times about doing exactly what you did and upgrade to the LS. If the 4GS wasn't coming out soon, I probably would have done it already.

Good pick up and nice upgrade. With some wheels on it, the 4LS is the king of all Lexus.

Nice upgrade, but I'm partial the GS lol. The inside of the of the LS, is what I like over the GS hands down. The instrument panel by the driver's knee is quite annoying.

My wife and I passed on a beautiful 2010 LS 460 and bought an '08 AWD GS 350. We just liked the size, feel and ride better on the GS. We're planning a trip around the country to visit national parks and the GS felt like a better fit for us. Maybe after hours on the road we'll wish we had the LS. No question that the LS is a fine choice for some.

Nice GS, had to be tough to let it go.....I have been telling myself for the $$$$ I spent on my 09 GS, very near that price if I took my time I could have found a 2007 to 2008 LS....loving those silver and white ones with Vossen 22's on their site......but I am a little young for that I think, don't think I need the attention it would get.....need a bigger garage for that car as well.......nice LS as well
