nice setup, i have the GS450h also, thinking on lowering it with the NF210, can you tell me approx. (inch)was the drop on the front and rear, and how is the ride-conform now?

haven't noticed any bumps in the rear...in fact, the ride is so close to stock, i didn't think it was possible. if you go with 285/25, make sure your offset is high enough.

Looks cool, yet here's another GS model in which aftermarket suspension parts are not specified, like the AWD. I'm glad it worked out for you. Being that they're both RWD, I wonder why Tanabe doesn't specify their springs for use on the GS460 or 450h? Any rubbing at all with those size tires?

no rubbing issues so far. the 450h suspension (i believe) is the same as the 350/430/460 RWD. that's why it's a direct fitment. as for the 350 AWD, not sure if it's the same or different suspension.
