GS350 AWD
spider_55 - tanabe NF210: minor issues in winter
vibrations when stopped, in drive, during cold winter days.
If I put it in neutral, the minor shakes go away. And again, I only noticed this when it got cold, and it doesn't bother me. I can live with this during the winter.
You should clarify the difference between minor and major issues.
Thanks for the list.

interesting... Thanks for the heads-up. So what are the major and minor issues others are experiencing?
I guess I would have to put back my stock springs to see if it still happens. Something to try next winter.

i think the issue with the car "vibrating" in the cold is due to the engine idling at a higher RPM. Once the engine temp gets to 40% it goes back down to 600-700 RPMs.

08 GS350 AWD....not lowered. Mainly because of the vibration issue people complain about but also I'm worried that lowering will produce a rougher ride.
