Default Regarding suspension upgrade...

Hi, I own 2013 GS350 luxury pkg.
I'm trying to purchase lowering springs (Tanabe Sustec NF210) to lower my car about 1.2~1.5 inch. Is it safe to lower my car?
Does it interfere with the AVS system, since it also varies dampers depending on road conditions?
I'm just worried that the lowering spring will degrade my existing AVS system.
Also, how does exactly Sport+ mode work? It changes handling sharper, throttle response quicker and dampers stiffer, right?

This could help answer some of your questions.

Also, I know this is a Lexus forum. However, in the context of adaptive OEM suspensions.
Here is a thread that could provide some insight: H&R Sport Springs with adaptive suspension.

I have the springs on my car. AVS still functional as it is the shock, not the springs, that the AVS controls.
