Default GS350 AWD lowering help

I currently have a 2010 GS350 AWD. I purchased some sage drop blocks 20mm and 30mm in the back. I'm wanting to go lower but can make up my mind with the DF210 or BC coilovers. I looked through all the forums and went back to page 32. I want a present 2017 answer lol. Any feedback would be great.

The BC coilovers are about the only option for the 3GS AWD. From everything I read the only real concern would be the potential "wobble" from the front end because the angle of the driveshafts changes when you lower the front the end. Using the blocks like you have so far seems like the best way to go.

thanks for the update. i actually got Tanabe DF210s and it wobbles very rarely, depending on road surface as well is what i noticed. the drop is a lot better then the blocks, but did serve its purpose excellent and would recommend for any AWD 3rd gen GS. ill update a pic with the updated suspension
