x2 i was literally scared doing not much over the speed limit through the mountains.

 

Not to be a total 450h preacher but... 450h is equipped with the standard AVS and can have the optionally APSSS. I definitely found the 450h to handle better than the 350 both because of the AVS, APSSS, and the extra weight in the back to improve balance.

 

I can easily imagine that. I have the Tein CST coilovers with the EDFC. This allows similar ability to stiffen the suspension, but the suspension is longer an apropriate match for the current set of sway bars ( should be called sway rods because they are so freakn narrow. ). I dont know if many of you guys ahve actually looked at the rear sway bars. ITS A JOKE. They are the smallest/ thinnest sway bars I have ever seen. My G35 had a set of NISMO sway bars that were 36 mm front and 24mm rear. This still gave the car some lean but eliminated a majority of the lean

 

ok,... so right now, as ya'll got me interested in spending some mod $$$, who are the options are where to get???

 

they will be available through dealerships so either you can get them from your local dealerships, or you can get them from our vendors like sewell lexus. i would guess they probably come end of june?

as i mentioned, msrp on the sways will be right around 500. pretty much the same as the old trd sways for 2gs iirc

 

....sooooo, are the TRD sways no good, not worth the money, or otherwise???

 

i don't think there are any aftermarket sways for 3GS; f-sport sways from lexus is currently the only sways available for our rides.

if there are sways from TRD for our 3GS, i'd love to see a link.

 

yes, fsport is the only one

 

I wasnt aware that TRD even made a set for the 3GS

 

Darrel from Sewell has no info yet. As soon as he gets the 3GS F-sport parts, we will know

 

It seems like it's forever for the 3GS F-Sports to arrive at Lexus!

 

I guess I never understood why people buy these type of mods for a Lexus GS. I just don't understand why people buy a car that is not meant to be driven in that manner, then go about replacing half the suspension to get it to handle better. It isn't a sports car...

If you wanted that sort of vehicle, you could have purchased a 5-Series and saved yourself a lot of modifications

 

I think there are a lot of people here, including me, that would disagree with you. With all due respect, to start, this car is no more/less a sports car than the standard 5 series, exclusive of the M. And that leads to my 2nd point, the M line of vehicles are just modded versions of what we do, except that it's produced by BMW. Seeing as we don't yet have that option from Lexus, there are available modifications to personalize a vehicle... and last, but certainly not least, if Lexus didn't feel there was a demand for it, they would not have spent the R&D money on a series of F-sport accessories for our vehicles....I, for one, am glad there is finally an OEM line of accessories to add some personalization and performance to these vehicles.

^^ Exactly. I drove a 5 series to compare and the only difference was that the steering had a smaller ratio and that the suspension was more bone jarring. Otherwise, I didn't notice any actual differences.

 

The logic that a German vehicle is more sporty just because it is German is fallacious. German or Japanese, is preference....now, if the discussion was Porsche Cayman, 911 or Cup, then I would agree that those German variants would embarass almost any Lexus (almost)....
