Installed RCA blocks on my AWD GS
#64
I have a '06 GS300 AWD with stock shocks/springs & stock 18" 5-spoke wheels. I'm based in northern Virgina /D.C.area.
Where can I purchase front & rear RCA blocks?
What's the cost?
What is recommended size of RCA blocks for 18" wheels?

I am looking to buy a 07-08 GS350 AWD and have been reading all about springs and vibrations. I would like to eliminate the wheel gap and run 19" wheels. One thing I can't seem to make sense of:
Are people using the RCA blocks without lowering springs?
As far as I can tell, if I installed F Sport springs or the NF210s I *might* get the vibration/wobble issue. If I do, the RCAs will solve my problem.
Thanks for the help, this forum is great.

I plan on doing this as soon as Pete ships for my 06 AWD. Frankly, stock ride height sucks, but if you don't want the headache of worrying about vibration, suspension pieces wearing early, etc.. or just plain afraid of messing with the stock ride, this is a very practical alternative. You can get low enough to change the stance, to a much more decent one, and run other wheels without the car looking like a 4x4. Will post pics when I am done.

With the LS430 Youzealand RCA blocks changing the suspension geometry, the front wheels move back about 10mm.
Does this occur on the 3GS? I'm not sure if it's noticeable to guys running 17/18" wheels, but those lowered quite a bit more with larger wheels, RCA's and coilovers/bags might be concerned.

Installed new wheels today and also 30mm (front and rear) RCA blocks. Wheels are off a brand new GS F Sport. No issues at all. Had an alignment done at Sears and the guy said there are no issues at all with anything.
