Default Spring suggestions??

brand new to this site...been looking around a bit in the threads too. Im interested in lowering springs for my 2014 GS350. I have 275/30ZR20 tires in the rear and 245/35ZR20 in the front. I want a decent drop and I want it to be a smooth ride but I don't want to worry about any rubbing and I don't want to do any modifications if possible. Suggestions on springs?? Thanks in advance

Tanabe springs are the most popular in the forums. I have them on my car with stock wheels and they smooth very similar to stock. They provided a decent drop which I love. I haven't tried driving with a car full of people yet but so far I have not ran into any rubbing issues. Check the Suspension sub forum or the links below for more info

Dude this is literally the color I was considering to have my car autoflex'd in. Is it wrapped or dipped? I'm going to do mine soon and looking at possibly doing rsr super downs.

I would highly recommend the RSR coilovers. I've had them on my car for about a year now and love them. Not really your question but seems silly to me to skimp out on such an important thing like the suspension. This way you can get the drop exactly how you want and adjust it accordingly to avoid any rubbing issues. Then get the camber kit and get it aligned within spec to avoid any uneven tire wear.

You'll find lots of stuff in the suspension sub-section. The most popular are Tanabe NF210, probably followed by RSR SuperDown, then RSR Down, then Swift. If I were to get some, I'd get Swift, it's the least aggressive drop of the 3.

Anyone have Swifts and have run them for an extended period of time? Seems like tanabes cause premature shock wear. Swift advertises that their springs were designed to work with OEM struts.
