... we need an iron clad answer as to why the hell it's taking so long, then maybe it won't be as frustrating.

I'm going out on a limb here and guess that the f-sport springs are going to cause Lexus too much grief when everyone starts complaining about tire wear caused by the springs that they sell.
Maybe they are waiting for camber kits too!

My lease will be over about the time Lexus puts out the F Sport springs! I have less than a week to decide whether or not to get in in the RSR GB or go with the Tanabe's that at least one member has shown will work with AWD.

i was leaning towards Tanabe and am curious as to why they uninstalled them. i know RS*R has the coilovers for AWD, i'm not going that route.

Just measured my AWD FSport and the distance from the tire for me is 2.5" up front and 2" in the rear. Either way the F'Sport springs at 1" won't be enough of a drop. It's either the Tanabe's at 1.1"F and 1.2"R or the RSR Super Down's at 1.9" to 2.1".

I wanted to go with it but "ain't nobody got time for that". They continue to drop the ball with the aftermarket. Some of the other companies work with aftermarket companies so the products work well with the car and are readily available.
That's why I went to RS*R who was more than happy to accommodate and has 4 suspension systems for the GS 2 sets of springs and 2 sets of coilovers including for the AWD.
A year for some springs? Really???

I don't think Toyota really has its heart in to trying to appeal to enthusiasts. I get the feeling it's mostly public relations lip-service rather than a true corporate cultural shift. And, as usual, I feel like yet another a Japanese corporation treats the North American market as a necessary evil rather than the largest market in the world.
