I have the RS-R downs on my AWD. I’m satisfied with the wheel gap after the Springs were swapped. It’s my daily I don’t want it any lower or stifffer.




I did the RS-R Down Springs about 10 months ago on my AWD.

FYI... My White GS I no longer have, If you have an AWD its not ideal to lower the car. After a while i experienced vibrations while driving and it has to do with the AWD suspension. I Just traded my White GS AWD Fsport for a Black GS RWD Fsport and I love it, I automatically could tell the difference immediately with this one. It rides smooth with no vibrations, no bounce. Not happy with the springs on the car as the front end sits higher than the back so I will be going with RSR Super Downs again or Coilovers. I have not decided as of yet!!

I too am looking at RsR downs... though seeing the Tanabe may be an option has me intrigued. I just want a little lower, to help with handling and for looks, do not want to compromise ride quality, longevity, etc.

Are both of these options still pretty even and viable?

Swift, RSR, Tanabe. I would say this is the good order.

Whats the swift alternative to RSR downs? I want the least amount of drop that will improve handling and looks without sacrificing ride comfort.

Anybody with Springs also have a lip spoiler and sideskirts? I’m concerned with scraping into the driveway and speed bumps since I have a front lip and will be adding sideskirts. Wouldn’t want to drop crazy low maybe even just 1 inch

I had Tenabe's on my 2013 GS350 FSport and it was killer. Same great ride and a killer low-profile look. They were the Tenabe TNF170 lowering springs.

After much research I decided to go with Tanabe's NF 210 Springs for my 2015 Lexus GS 350 F-Sport because I wanted the lower profile look while maintaining the same comfort level of daily driving. I also got some H&R 15 mm spacers to eliminate gap space from fender to tire and give it a more flush look. I can't wait to have them installed on my vehicle.

Absolutely! I'm spending about $5,000 on mods and preventive maintenance for my car:

1. PPF (front end) and ceramic coating for entire car.
2. Alloy rims restoration (factory) and ceramic coating.
3. Ceramic tint for windows to include front windshield.
4. Red F-sport logo with black paint added to calipers.
5. Tanabe NF 210 Springs with H&R 15 mm spacers for appearance and driving comfort.

Hoping to have it all done the 2nd week in September but trying to get the PPF and ceramic coating done by the best shop in Birmingham (Insane Painting Detail where all of this work is being completed) may require me waiting until November.
