Default Rear end higher than front on 2013 GS 350 F Sport
Anyone else have this issue? Looks like about 1-1.5” higher in the back on level ground.

Tanabe lowering springs will fix that right up. Planning on doing mine this fall once it cools off here in Phoenix.

Typical for a RWD GS. Mine is an 18 RWD and pretty much has the same stance as yours. The AWD's tend to sit higher in the front.

2018 GS350 AWD has a Gross Vehicle Weight of 4960 and the curb weight is 3891.
Load a 1069 lbs. in and see how she sits.

Totally normal. I put on Swift springs though and it seems to have balance it out a bit better.

DId the springs lower the rear end more than the front? Reason why I ask is I dont really want the front lowered. I dont want to have to drive extra careful through parking lots and what not.

It is deceiving. The front wheel well is bigger and taller than the rears. Giving that illusion.
