I think they probably just didn't test the AWD model, so the weight may be off. Any brave souls out there? Heh heh

I wouldnt discount it as them never making an AWD specific spring-- just that it may come later.

They had 2 different springs for the 2nd gen GS' depending on whether you had the 300/430 model, so i'm sure they will do something similar for the 3rd gens too.

Tanabe makes a lot of parts for Luxury VIP cars in Japan, so they're probably working on something.

Is the rear and front suspension (shocks and springs) the same for the GS AWD and RWD?

For many brands it is not.

Default Nf210

Hello Tanabe

Is NF210 universal? It seems like NF210 have been around for quite some time now. Not sure if NF210 available here is suitable? Cant wait to hear from you. Cheers.

only that portion of the car's warranty would be in question
