well tonight i said goodby to my gs300 (1999) silver /black int. i drove home a 1999 silver /gray int. gs400 !!!! its fast!!!!!!!!!! i has hids ,heated seats , factory spoiler ! and nak stereo ( my pioneer sounded better ) soon thats the first thing replaced ! i wish it had nav but looked forever and got good deal so got it cause my 20s on it and no one knows the diff !!!! (once i register it ) the only thing about it is under acceleration at first it makes 2 knock sounds ??? not like engine more like suspension or motor mount ? has warranty but any thoughts of what it could be . also steering feels loose my gs3 had 40 k miles this has 55k miles shouldnt be any difference ??? lexus said gs400 has lower suspension and may cause that ? will a steering ecu fix it and what mods should i do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one last thing i had 6000k hids in my old car what do they look like in the yellow fogs ? ugly if so ill be selling them ! thanks alot guys feels like in writing a book !

about the suspension... i'm almost positive that it's teh same in both the gs3 and gs4. but I used to notice when I went to CL meets that my STOCK gs4 seemed a little lower than the stock gs3's. my guess is that the V8 engine in the gs4 is a little heavier than the inline 6 of the gs3.

I am sorry but there is no way that front wheel will tuck under the fender when lowered
