Planning on lowering my 350-AWD with F sport spring and put the 19" Fsport wheels on it this Spring. Just like to see how it would look.

whats is up with new members not browsing the stickys? sorry you feel that way but they are put there for a reason because they have a lot of good information and your asking for a very specific picture which im sure if it was posted would be in the 3GS wheel thread.

no one is saying check out the stickys or search to be rude, its just to help you. sorry if there was no link attached, all of the stickys are at the top of the forum

Wheel Thread

FAQs and DIY might have some info your looking for as well.

Thanks! I've looked through the modification thread even before I join the club and when considering a GS. A lot of good modification there but I still don't see any with the F-Sport 19". The Lexus site has a picture of a 3GS with 19" but its the RWD version and not the 19" full face forged. I guess I'll have to look further or consider the Vossen.

i would search within the wheel thread before the modification thread.

Thanks. It just that telling new members to read the sticky without any link is lazy and essentially provide no help. I'm sure new members just joined the club have read some if not most of the threads before joining. I, for one, have been lurking the club and have checked out the modification thread for months when I was considering between the 4GS and the 3GS. I see a lot of helpful threads here and since I just got a 3GS, I decided to join. I asked if there's anyone in this club has the F-Sport lowering spring with F-Sport 19" installed. I know it's specific but if you don't have any info on it, I rather have you not post anything instead of saying doing a search or read the stickies which doesn't help at all.

F-Sport with TTE Springs

F-Sport Wheels with Sport Suspension

Thanks for taking the time to search and post those pictures. I think I will go with the F-Sport route so that Lexus don't give me any crap with something go wrong with the car still in warranty. I will have to read more on this wobbly/vibration issue on lowering AWD.
The wheel gap on a stock AWD is pretty nasty. That's the first thing I want to get rid of. Then some wheels.

doesnt matter, they cant void your warranty if you dont use F-Sport products. My car was slammed on coils and still under factory warranty. My dealer never gave me a problem.

F-Sport springs give a decent drop but with the AWD imo its just not enough. it makes the AWD sit where a stock RWD GS sits. Eibach makes a good spring too and it drops it a bit more

NickL

Okay. I just don't want them to say "it's because of your aftermarket component that caused X problem". I guess I'm a little conservation on lowering the car. Just don't want to scrape it daily.
This AWD lowered with F-sport spring looks pretty good after the springs have settled.

I got the full face f sport 19s on my car...not many guys here have them. I didnt want to have any wobble issues so I just used RCA blocks to lower the front of my car .9 inches..looks good enough to me.

edit: do a search to find out what rca blocks are

I love the original f sports on the IS but they just don't look large enough for the Gs in the back. The full face will look larger though and different since not many seem to get them. Vossen's have a very good rep also. The f sport spring on a awd was a tad taller than my rwd stock. My dad has a customer that had a awd and he put the springs on. They were brand new so I would say it would settle to a stock rwd height like what was told before. Good luck.
