AWD GS350 Springs
Do they make them yet? Where can i find them? Im sure if they make springs/coils for specifically for AWD there shouldn't be any vibrations/wobbling am i right?

You can use RWD springs, there is no springs specially made for AWD. All AWD will vibrate and whobble once lowered. Only way to get around this is to resolve the problem. The issue with AWD is that they vibrate because the cv axles are too short and need to be lengthened, because there is space in the axle the joints are loose and vibrate.
There is a thread to where you can custom make axle spacers that should help and if not resolve that issue.
But, yes RWD springs will work!

Tanabe used my 2010 GS350 AWD to test and setup their NF210 springs. They do not have a solution at this time for shocks. After 20,000 miles on NF210's I am starting to hear a squeaking noise in the front end at low speeds going over bumps. My assumptions are the shocks are going bad. They lasted over 20k miles with lowered Tanabe springs so I do not mind changing them. I just need to research the rights shocks as replacement.
