Default Purchasing a 07 Gs350

Hi, guys.... i'm all new to this Lexus world... I used to be an Infiniti guy since 03 (350>G35 coupe)to 12(v36 sedan).... would love to take a whole new step on here since I would be staying in Hong Kong for awhile.

I am buying a used JDM version 07 gs350
-what are the common problems on this car ??
-any experiences comparing to 08 G35/37 sedan??

I am going to put airbags on and trying to fit my old wheels on if possible ..

20X10 et0 A disk
20X10 et-7 O disk

with 235/35/20 achilles

I dont mind to roll or pull the fenders. do you think if I need to ?? wanna stick with -4.2 camber front and rear

which bags system you recommended ??

wanna have 3 stages of settings ... max height , rolling height and park height (lowest)


Thank you for all the suggestions..... nice to meet you guys here

thats how my old ride look like .... wish the GS too

Welcome to Club Lexus! Nice looking G you had there.

Those wheels you have will be very tough to fit. For 07 GS350s, you need R discs up from to clear the factory BBK. You can likely make them fit with spacers but as-is, you're going to rub like crazy anyways. Those are VERY aggressive for this particular car. Will definitely need a roll and pull of the fenders and lots of camber. Not saying it can't be done but not without a lot of work. Major hurdle is the disc type, first and foremost.

Good luck!

oh i totally forgot about the front brakes ... lol .... thanks for reminding me ..
well i don't mind to run -4 to -6 cambers ..... all i concern about is would they look decent cause the front might poke out a lot but not the rear ....

but thanks man.... thanks for the advice .... i would consider it from now on
