Default AWD Lowering and Vibrations

For those of you who have an LS460/600h AWD and lowered, do you have the same vibration/wobbling issues as the 2IS and 3GS folks?

Thanks!

awd on ls460/600hl all have air suspensions so it's completely different from 2is and 3gs

i have done a few 600hl lowering with controller and i haven't seen / heard any issues

Thanks for the answer!

If I'm not mistaken, the vibrations and wobbling aren't caused by the suspension on the 3GS? It's the effect that lowering has on the axles and/or transmission parts. Anyways, that's good to know that the LS isn't affected.

my car has no abnormal vibrations or noises (except for under full lock, but that's covered by a TSB -- it may not be because of lowering) but it's also not that low

That's most likely the power steering... not due to lowering.
