Smile Lowering AWD GS350

I need some good feedback on lowering AWD. I do not want to use RWD equipment that may cause vibration or damage. Anyone done it? Where did you buy your springs? Thanks in advance

From my experience, no problems with lowering when rolling on stock wheels/tires. The car actually handles better but rides rougher with the NF210's. I believe the AWD's have stiffer shocks than the RWD.

i know this topic has been beaten to death, but can any other members chime in? other members out there without any problems? if the chances are good, i might be getting a set of nf210 springs instead of keep on waiting until god knows when..

You may want to send a message to SGT and 4thone. I remember those guys lowering their AWD's with NF210's shortly after I did my car. Are you concerned about specifically lowering a GS350 or an AWD vehicle in general? If you have noticed, there are quite a few IS250 AWD owners that lowered their vehicles as well. Actually, I think aftermarket compaines make suspension lowering kits for the IS250 AWD.
