NEED HELP!! 2010 GS350 AWD Suspension
I own a 2010 GS 350awd and would like to lower it. I have set of rims which i haven't installed since i want to have the drop issue taken care of before installing. I've been reading many of the threads on here but most of them have confused me more then help. i have couple of questions, regarding different springs and coilover systems. Going to run a staggered setup>>>>>>>>>>>>
Front: 8.5 (245/35/20)
Rear: 10 (275/30/20)
1. With your experience, which brand of springs works the best, keeps the ride close to factory, and produces the least chance of rubbing?? F-sport, Swift, Tanabe, Tein........etc.
2. As far as coilover systems whch is best recommended and more popular with GS350. And what height drop should i expect with each? Ex. D2 vs. BCR or Tein.........
3. Whats the best recommended drop with and AWD, whether is springs or coilovers??
Feel free to comment please!!!! NEED AS MUCH HELP AS possible!!! I've had my car for a year and change but its barely been driven since its not my D/D but i definitely want to get it out on the road more often but want to do all the mods i have in mind first. My state of mind is " COME CORRECT OR NOT AT ALL" but im getting impatient!!!

1. as long as you have a conservative drop, the ride isn't bad at all.. tanabe nf210, tein s-tech, eibach prokit, etc.. i'm running tein s-tech, no complaints here so far.
2. there are only 2 coilovers available for AWD, BC racing and Megan (because the front suspension design between AWD and RWD is different). when I used to have BC racing coils, i was tucking all four wheels, and there were plenty more room to drop even lower.
3. since you are running over-spec tires, most likely you will be rubbing the front when you turn your wheels all the way. also, you won't be able to drop more than the conservative amount since front wheels will be rubbing where front bumper and fender meets (if you purchased the wheels and tires already as you mentioned). can't say for rear since there is no info on the offset.
hope this helps.. if you search again, there are plenty more info on the recommended tire size to stay within the spec, and match the rolling diameter for front and rear.
