Marshmallo,

Did you get your ride lowered. Please post after pics. I just put the GS430 rims/tires on my GS350 and I've affraid it looks the same (or maybe even a bit worse in the front) as your ride. Now I'm considering dropping (see my other thread on dropping the ride when going from 17" to 18") the ride. However, I'm naturally wary, not wanting to mess up Lexus quality suspension. Any input on your experience and after pics would be helpful.

Thanks

Hi sbrown02,

I decided against lowering my car. The reason is my Fabulous
front lip ALREADY hits when I go up steep, badly made driveways...
A lot of people in the forum who put on NF210's say that the comfort
level is pretty much unchanged, but they have also reported some
vibrations at certain speeds after lowering.

My current plan is to go with 19's and a fat tire setup (my speedo
will be about 3.3% out of spec, but that is what I will be going with
for now). That will narrow that horrible wheel gap ever so slightly
at the expense of extra strain on the brakes...

These threads make me pout. I wish I would have been patient and waited 1 more year to get a GS. I love that car! But for now the IS350 will have to work and when I sell it I'll move into a GS.

Sorry to hijack! But my lip is on the floor from pouting. LOL...

BEAUTIFUL cars!!!!!

IS-Mine,

Yes the GS is incredible, but don't despair. Simply enjoy your IS now. Your day will come.

The IS350 must be a lot of fun. There are many times I wish I
had a rocket like that.

I also keep going over to the LS forums to drool over the new
LS460

Sorry to hijack again but yes! It is SOO much fun. Many people just can't believe a Lexus can get up and go!

Okay, back to browsing.
