Hey Fellow GS enthusiast, The stance on your whip looks good. Quick question, Is it only the Springs you changed or have you done the entire spring and shock set up. Do you have the active suspension button that allows comfort/sport button. Does it affect your switching after you did the job. What size are your shoes that your sitting on?
I do have a GS 430 and I want to do my suspension but I want to make the right move, any suggestions? I don't want to crack my pockets either.

1) I only changed springs (shocks are still oem)
2) Yes I have comfort/sport button (i.e. AVS). This switch has nothing to do with lowering, only adjusts the damping of the shocks. See these links for more details:

Im planning on Tanabe NF210 springs with OEM shocks but couldnt find any feedback from members that been running on it for a period of time .
How is the suspension, oem shocks ect... holding up for u with those NF210 and how long have u been running on it?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated

The car looks great bro! After reading this thread I was just wondering if you ever ended up switching out for the coilovers, if not, was there anymore settling/sagging on the springs? Any idea how low you ended up getting from the original stock height?

I self installed these springs a few months ago, great spring and very even lowering front to back. Took a week or two to settle. Really happy all round. 20x8.5 + 20x10 I heated+hammered my guards a little but suspect most will not have to. OEM Shocks.
I do drive my car to its limits and know how to get the power down. I very much feel that the active switch now has a bigger variate when you switch it between the modes. I was very worried about losing it and partly why I brought this spring - Very very happy with the result. I take the kids to school but also fun when the time is right.
Buy these springs. :-)

Hey Whitebaiit. Can you please answer me this. Did you have to get a camber kit for your GS 430. Ive lowered my 06 GS 430 on Sustec NF210 tdf112s. Wheel alignment guy (NZ) tells me theres no adjustment for camber. All 4 tyres are wearing on the inside.

Also had alignment guy say no camber but also that rears wear faster when pushing ya car as the front lifts up and pushes rear down!!
Maybe try a lower profile tyre to level it out?

Looking great. removed my rear springs last night, Due to the Canadian winter weld, the lower bolts had to be cut out. Made a 20 min job turn into a 6 pack. At least the klunking will stop.

Is there a DIY guide to remove the rear springs? I have ordered the NF210 springs for my GS 450h and I am trying to find some guide to replace them.
Thanks
