i also tend to believe the braces, exhaust, brakes will fit on all models. hard to believe lexus has different chassis
springs and shocks probably only for rwd and not for awd
wheels, they won't recommend for awd for sure. but we all know as long as tired are right, staggered setup is ok
floor mats, unless they have 2 different version, it's probably for rwd. from what i read awd has different driver front?
body kits and grills, depends if they have two versions, coz' we all know 06-07 and 08+ are different (both front and rear bumpers)
intake for sure not v8, completely different. not sure if it will fit 300. same with engine covers
if you have apsss, there is no reason to "upgrade" sways anyway, doesn't make sense. i wonder how much the sways would be and will see if i'd do it. after driving the m3 the gs350 does seem floating around too much, but i probably care more about cosmetic on this car

Can someone shed some light here. That red GS I keep seeing, is not really a GS-F yet? These are just performance parts for now ? and the GS-F will come out as Gen 4 model ?I remember reading that GS-F was meant to be faster than GS460, so it could compete with rivals such as E63 AMG / M5. Thanks

i would be so all over the sways when it comes out (if funds available). i took a sharp turn last nite at around 50-60 kph, definitely did not like the lean my GS took!
