Safe to use lowering springs
I have 109,000 miles on my 03 GS430. I want to put lowering springs on my stock suspension. I will not drive this car everyday sometimes not for a month or two. I had my suspension checked and nothing is showing wear or needs to be replaced. I just want to lower 1.3 inch the front and 1 inch the rear. Is this ok since my suspension is in good shape.

Lowering GS
Hey, I have fortune auto 500 coilovers on my 98 gs300. When they're lowered down you have to apply a harder spring rate but it rides very close to stock on them. I don't usually recommend the lowering springs because there's no room for adjustment later on and you'll end up regretting them half the time. I'd go for coilovers if you're looking to get the stock ride feel when lowered. PS yes it's okay to lower it just make sure you won't lower it to the point that anything is going to contact speed bumps or the ground in general. Holes in oil pan = BAD.

Havent had the car for very long, they came on it. However I did adjust the dampers to 22 rear 20 front. I like a stiffer ride I guess. When I got it it was set 14-14 and rode just like stock, smoother in my opinion. I'd give em 5 stars. Top notch coilovers
