Gs350 AWD F SPORT springs and wheel set up
Hey guys, new to the forum
Just got a 2013 gs350 awd and been wanting to drop it and eventually put 20s on. I've been looking on the forums and just haven't found what I was looking for. I'm trying to decide between the nf210 tanabe or the rs-r downs. Theres a few forums on here about springs but I haven't found one that has done it to an AWD 4GS. I was leaning towards the tanabes but have read some owners have a problem with it rubbing with 20s on their car. I dont want to go too low with the super downs because i dont want to mess with the camber too much. Has anyone lowered there AWD FSPORT on the rsr downs and how does it ride. I want to keep it as close to factory feel as possible.Any suggestions and please post pictures if you have them.

I'm interested in this as well... Basically have the exact same questions. Been doing some research lately and it seems that the RS-R downs and the Tanabe NF210's are basically interchangeable, but I actually felt that people had less issues with rubbing with the NF210's over the RS-R downs.
Your wheel and tire combo will be the biggest factor in whether or not you rub. If you go conservative with width and offset you can run the NF210's or RS-R downs no problem. The spec I'm thinking about running is pretty aggressive and I want to know if it'll work: 20x9 +35 up front in 245/35R20s and 20x10.5 +45 in back with 285/30R20s. I know guys tend to go with a 275 series tire in the rear to avoid rub but I don't want to stretch at all. Hoping I can fit the 285s (or possibly even 295s) if I don't run a super low drop, hence the downs or NF210s.
