Hi, i just picked up a GS350. Im thinking abiut dropping it soon. Do you have to install a camber kit to prevent premature tire wear due to camber?

The ride almost like factory but I just got back from out of town it's and it's a little bounces on long bridge. But for the drop look I will take it over factory gap

If you're just doing 1" drop you don't need it but if you're doing 2" then you might gonna need it. Even though I did an 1" drop I'm gonna get the rear camber it so it can be even with the front. Mine front is at -1 and my rear at -1.8. But everything will line back up to factory specs with 1" drop

I'm riding on RSR Super down. To bo honest I don't feel that's much of a difference but the difference in looks it's day/night!!



RSR SUPER DOWN

Go with the RS-R now for drop I would go with the super down but it depends on what you want to achieve. The tanabe springs are good but I had them and after a little bit once they have settled they become bouncy, I have pruchased new when I had my hybrid and when I had my silver 4th gen gs. Coilovers is the way to go though great ride, I would go with RS-R coilovers.

Guys. Simplify your life. If you have the rsr (super down) NOT the Down only you will enjoy the ride and the look. I just dropped mine about 2 weeks ago. Supe happy",
