Don't lower the car if you haven't researched the issues.

Otherwise....congrats!

Nothing wrong with the car being lowered beside a little vibration. Unless I missed something.

"just" vibrations/wobbles are the main complaint. Most would not sacrifice the function for form.

I on the other hand....chose form

Congrats!

Bought a red 07' GS 350 AWD for my wife when a DUI "shortened" her SC300.

I fell in love with this car, and bought a pearl 09 GS 350 AWD, & sold my GS 400.

Here are preliminary thoughts from a new owner:

1- If you care about XM, see whether you have the receiver built in. Our 07' does, our 09' does not. Just ordered one from Sewell. It integrates beautifully into the car audio. Never thought I wanted it, having the iPod link, but it is something I would not want to do without. Press AM button twice. If it stays on AM, you do not have it.

2- Read the manual. Sounds crazy, but this car has so many features, this is the only way I know how to use them all. And I came from a GS400.

3- Consider updating your NAV maps. We upgraded both, and you get new maps and improved functionality. Don't know about 08', but 07' required you to press AGREE every time you started the car. 09' did not. With the map upgrade, this annoyance is gone!!!

ENJOY your great new ride!!!
