Winter Ride Height
Has anyone had any issues with their 4th Gen GS 350's (AWD) ride height in the winter? I'm coming from a 2003 4 Runner with about 8" (I think) and it was a tank in the snow here around the Boston area. I'm concerned the much lower ride of my 2013 GS 350 AWD is going to cause a few problems, or, at a minimum, make me more aware of when I should/shouldn't drive in the snow.
Any experience, tips?

I think many will say they have had a problem with the height being to high. I have coilovers but most of the owners have dropped there cars and I can promise you at the stock height you will do fine, but be careful as your bumper is still out there. The past winter we had no car could with stand that height or not. Also make sure to wipe those sensors off as the slush build up will make them go off. Congrats on the car as well.

Anything over 6" will be a problem. I did get stuck once but it did snow like 18" overnight. But once I cleared the snow from underneath the car, she ran fine. The FSport bumper is like a snow plow. LOL
The other issue is snow/ice will tend to buildup on your rims, causing it to be out of balance. Other than that the car drives pretty well in the snow.
