GS AWD (lowered suspension data)
 

I'm trying to gather Club Lexus lowered AWD information. This list can be helpful for those looking into lowering their AWD GS or those who are already lowered trying to inquire about any current issues. Correct me if I'm wrong or post a reply to update the list.

GS350 AWD
spider_55 - tanabe NF210: minor issues in winter

vibrations when stopped, in drive, during cold winter days.

If I put it in neutral, the minor shakes go away. And again, I only noticed this when it got cold, and it doesn't bother me. I can live with this during the winter.

You should clarify the difference between minor and major issues.

Thanks for the list.

Just for the record, my 07 AWD is on stock suspension and it vibrates in cold weather too.

interesting... Thanks for the heads-up. So what are the major and minor issues others are experiencing?

I guess I would have to put back my stock springs to see if it still happens. Something to try next winter.

This will be an ongoing list and it will be updated and improved as we move forward.

Count me in on no issues at all. My AWD GS300 has been lowered on Tanabe NF210's for almost three years. No vibrations at all.

Any DF210 AWD users ?

i think the issue with the car "vibrating" in the cold is due to the engine idling at a higher RPM. Once the engine temp gets to 40% it goes back down to 600-700 RPMs.

08 gs350 awd not lowered yet...... have had the car 3 weeks but hope to make lowering the car one of my first mods. just wanted to contribute.

08 GS350 AWD....not lowered. Mainly because of the vibration issue people complain about but also I'm worried that lowering will produce a rougher ride.

Here is an update with my Info..
