Not officially confirmed but if you're interested in trying it out... Let us know.

There's no reason that it wouldn't fit or for it to drive weird..

Swift Springs does not designate it as RWD or AWD, just GS350 GRL10.

In stock as well.

Hi Josh. I am on the fence about RSR Downs or Swift Springs for my 2014 GS 350 F sport. All of the RSR information shows the different drop between the base model and F sport. F sport being approximately half an inch. Whereas the swift shells a .8 inch drop but it does not indicate if that is on stock or F sport. What would the swift drop be on an F sport? I’m looking to pull the trigger on one of the other just not sure how much the swift would give me relative to the RSR. Thanks for your input. I’ll be ordering through you

Anyone else, that went with the Swift lowering springs, get an uneven drop? I have a '16 F-Sport RWD and after installing Swift sport spring 4T911 the front drop was very settle but the back was significantly noticeable. I installed these when I had the stock 19" wheels installed and measured a difference of 0.75" lower on the rear than the front. Ended up having to get spring spacers to lift the back in order to even out with the front. Wondering if this happened to anyone else that installed Swift 4T911 springs?

Default Swift Springs lower in rear

This was my major concern with the Swift Springs. Might have to go with the RS-R’s if there is an uneven drop.

Yes, same here. For my own personal experience, I was told it could be the fuel tank causing the additional weight and the car being 5 years old will eventually sag due to excessive wear in an particular area, which leads me to my next point - the infamous "Lexus Lean". My entire driver side is slightly lower, which is caused (hypothetically) by someone always being on that side, i.e., the driver.

Another way to even it out would be with coilovers or have the front springs lower than the back. I had a Honda civic way back in my highschool days on Eibach springs, where the front was lowered 2'' and the rear was 1.5'', this made the drop pretty even and eliminated the "rake" look.

Exactly what spring spacers did you use? From where? Thanks.

I'm trying to decide among Swift/Tanabe for lowering or a full coilover kit. My goals are in the following priority order:
1. High reliability -- one of the many reasons I bought a Lexus.
2. Quality, luxury ride that can do speed bumps -- this is my daily driver & family mobile, can't be bouncy or jarring.
3. Better-than-stock performance.
4. Look good with 20's -- I don't have the wheels yet, but looking to move up to a staggered 20" wheel setup. I know this puts pressure on #2 above.

I had them and they ran really good. They were smooth and rode better than stock in my opinion. I removed them because I wanted to go lower after I put my 20s on. I still
have them and I probably only put 200 miles on them if you want to buy.
