a lot of us went with full blown coilovers

Last I checked very few (when I WAS visiting the forums) used the F-Sport & I don't even recall seeing anyone use TTE lowering springs.

Welcome to CL! As xxgokuxx mentioned, most of us are dropped on either coilovers or other name brand springs.

Be mindful that if you drop your AWD with springs or coilovers, you may experience vibration issues. Do a search and you'll see what I mean. So you need to ask yourself if vibration is something you could live with for a better stance.

Since you are stuck between F-Sport and TTE, I would go with F-Sport because it is a Lexus "approved" part (IMHO). If you get vibration issues, you can always take your car back to the dealer and have them fix the problem. But I would talk to your service advisor first and ask/confirm what they would do to help you if you run into vibration problems. Some dealers are not mod friendly, and you could get yourself into a whole bunch of hassle if you went ahead with a drop without confirming what your dealer will or won't do.

TTE is just Toyota Europe's version of TRD/F-Sport so I don't see what difference it would make to use either.

I personally am running F-Sport springs on my AWD (got tired waiting for AWD coilovers to hit the market) and I get some wobbles at low speed acceleration and some shuddering at WOT at highway speeds. I also get some vibration at rest with the gear in D and the foot fully on the brake.

All of these things are annoying but I can live with these things if it means I don't have a 5 finger wheel well gap.

I thank all of you for the info and i noticed that alot of the f-sport related stuff is kind of old and most of the same people that were the first to try it already went with coils by now, but one more question I'm looking for a set of 18'' oem five spoke wheels the ones that come on 08-2011 350/460 if anyone is selling a set or knows of someone that is i would really appreciate it if i be contacted please!!! im having a hard time finding a real set.....
If anyone has pics of a 08 awd with these wheels and no drop and don't mind posting them i would appreciate it
I decided to just leave it stock once i get the 18's and put them on i might reconsider it depending how it looks
