Just purchased a new Lexus GS 350 F sport. Back to Lexus after 2 Audi's. Had a 04 GS 430 which I lowered with wheels. Just purchased 20" rims and tires staggered for car. Read through all suspension forums and having heck of a time finding lowering springs for a 2018. Most seem to cut off at 2016, anybody know why? Think RS downs are too low for me and don't like the way the rear looks lower then front. Want a mild drop of around 1" and settled for Tanabe or Swift based on pics and discussions.
Anybody know the correct part numbers or where I can purchase these for a 2018?

Thanks!
If your looking for a mild drop I would go with RSR Downs which are not that low. Ride is just like stock, Super Downs are way to low. I think the part number is the same for 2016 and up, mine is a 2017

Car looks great, very cool color! What size wheels and tires are you running? Who makes those wheels? I'm still debating RSR downs and learned Tanabe on back order until end of year.

Thanks!! Wheels are Vertini RF1.1 Brushed Titanium with custom offsets and Lexus center bore so no hub rings needed. Front 19x8.5 +30, Rear 19x9.5 +42 with factory tires 235/40/19 & 265/35/19. No issues rubbing even with a full load of people and luggage. I might upsize to 245/40/19 & 275/35/19 when the factory tires are done. Car has about 10,500 miles and was lowered around 2,500 and no issues with uneven tire wear or tire wear at all so these will probably last till 25K.
Thanks for info. BTW nice taste in wheels, I just ordered these in 20's for white car. I just had my guy order RSR downs. Hopefully done in week or so. I'll post some pics.

Whats the specs on the wheels and what tire size do you plan on doing? Also forgot to add that I did add SPC Rear camber arms about 500 miles after the drop. My camber was right at the - spec limit so just for peace of mind installed these.. now the camber is dead in the middle of the spec.
245/35/20 F 9" rim - 275/30/20 R 10" rim. Not sure of exact offset but had them built so they sit inside wheel well. I didn't want them to stick out. I read about camber issues and may look into after springs settle and I get alignment. Don't feel like burning through inside of tires every 10k miles.
