Fat tire set up is great. Front rubs a bit when turning sharply. Wish I had gone with coilovers. Ride on L-Tuned is much better than stock but no adjustability compared with coilovers.

I promise it's a different car than what I posted on Page 1, just upgraded to a 430... Drop looks about the same as the L-Tuned setup...

Is it me or does your friend's spoiler stick up near the front edge of the spoiler (its not flush against the rear 1/4 panel)? is it an aftermarket spoiler?

Bilstein PSS coilovers
17 inch stockies on 245/45/17
Ride Quality = No float at all, ride is pretty stiff but still bearable/comfortable. I dont know how many inches the drop is but its very low with the 17s.

The springs are Tanabe DF210 's Part number TDF24B for the GS400/430

Wheels are Club Linea Misterio 19x9.5 45mm off set on all 4 corners. I am running a 3mm spacer in the front so the rim lip clears the spindle and a 5mm spacer in the rear just because. With no front spacer the lip just brushed the spindle. The tires are a 235/35/19 on all 4 corners

Quick question....

I just picked up a set of Tanabe DF210's for my GS4 and I have a set of L-tuned wheels. The wheels are 18x8 with 245/40R18 in the front and 18x9.5 with 275/35R18 in the rear. My concern is the rears are going to rub and I will need to roll the fenders. I noticed that their are a few of you using DF210 with similar size wheels as mine. Did you have to roll the fenders? Do they rub like crazy?

KILA!
