Thinking outside the box?
I just bought a 07 AWD gs350 on Monday and so far I love it! One owner, every service done at local dealership. Now its time to start playing around with it!
Going in for tint & clear bra tomorrow. Ordered LED's for just about everything. Next step is lowering and wheels. I will most likely do 20's. To many choices out there, so it may take some time. I see that alot of people on here are partial to Vossen. They fit our cars so nicely. I saw some Rohana's that I like.
My question is (and I hope it hasn't been asked before, because i searched everywhere before asking!), i obviously don't want the wobble... can I pair up the 30mm RCA block with the F-sport springs? Conceptually it sounds like it would give me the drop I want while maintaining my smooth ride.
Any ideas??
Here's a pic of my new runner
I was also thinking about doing a chrome delete on the whole car. Black vinyl wrap the shiny stuff. Thoughts? Has anyone done this too?

Congrats on the purchase! Looks like a great car. I don't have any input on the wheel/suspension setup, but the chrome delete is tough to pull off; doing a blacked out wrap on the trim would look pretty tacky, so maybe look into a light silver or something along those lines. Good luck!

I was thinking abou doing a wrap as well. But instead of just the chrome, maybe do a wrap for the whole car and include the trim. Of course, to make it look right you'll have to black out the lights also. That's why a full body wrap would seem better. IMO

Fred does amazing work and has done some serious corporate projects and some well know cars! Check out the matte military green Lambo!
We'll be doing some experimenting! I was thinking about body color matching the lower door chrome, then blacking out the emblems, window trim, headlight trim and grill. Who knows... I appreciate the feedback!
My main question is about the RCA blocks and f-sport springs together. Has anyone done that yet?

Anyone who has tried the RCA's with say the mild F-sport springs, feel free to let me know if you get the vibrations! Just tinted her this weekend, and next is drop and wheels!

You're gonna get the vibration it's just the way it is. My RWD 430 has Tein S-Tech and 20/30mm RCA F/R - I am seriously considering trying to install the Bilstein PSS from my 2GS because I hate the ride - NOT that it rides much different than stock but my 2GS rides like a dream while still handling great.
I also have the F-sport sways.
