A set of body kit will complete your car!!

Looking good! We have very similar setup. Where in S.FL you at? Looks like Hollywood area, I'm in Ft.L

Area you experiencing any uneven wear problems between the wheels and f-sport springs? I've had mine now about 2 years, and only had to replace 1 tire so far, but steering wheels is starting to shake at low speeds. Any experiences you can share appreciated.

Hey J0e!!!

Thanks for the compliment. You were the inspiration for getting the F Sport suspension! Good eye! I'm in the Palm Beaches.

I haven't had any of the issues you've had yet... I've only had the new suspension and wheels for about a week now. I read your post and think you should look into the alignment first then maybe shocks?!? My mechanic recommended swapping out the shocks/struts due to having 40k on them. BTW 1 tire in 2 years is awesome!!!

Yeah, I'm getting an alignment done this weekend to rule that out and I guess take it step-by-step. I shouldn't complain 1 tire in 2 years is MUCH better than I thought originally anyways.

I have a couple of low res photos of the car on stock shocks. If you can't tell... it looks like crap! (both the photo and the height). The drop looks to be about an inch all around (compared to the stock set up). I could definitely go lower especially in the rear. But camber, tire life, fender mods, and my wife driving my car all were reasons I went with the f sport set up.

I have a good friend as a mechanic he ordered the shocks, struts and springs from Lexus of Pembroke Pines. He gets a discount there. I bought the suspension at his cost (I have seen similar prices on the internet):
Springs- $269 for the set of 4
Shocks and Struts - $166 X 4

Here's the car on "donk" status:

You'll notice a big difference "Visually" when you lower it.. But so far so good.

The most recent pics posted are of the car on oem springs. There are some pics of GermanISF's GS on factory springs but I think you may have already been notified of those pics ... if not check out this thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ed-pics-2.html
