F-sport lowering springs
I had installed the springs on my GS460 the other day, and they are working very well.

I really think a big part is performance. 40hp is not that much.
If the GS460 had 380+ hp then I think more people would opt for that. I would certainly consider it if it came in AWD.
Look at the E350 vs E550... 268 hp vs. 382 hp?!
New 5 series, 306 hp vs. 407 hp?!
Yeah sure the semi-aniline other "options" are nice but they don't beat the straight-line in-your-face performance that you and your passengers can feel.
Imagine if the 3GS only came in GS300 with 245 hp vs. GS460 with 342 hp (which is a similar power difference between the German counterparts). Which one would you buy? and would the power difference alone justify the price difference? Probably more like so.

Thank you for welcoming me.
In Japan, Lexus dealers don't sell F-Sport accessories.
So I need to get them on the web (ex. ebay).
The price of the products are inexpensive in comparison with the price of equivalent products in Japan, but shipping is very expensive.

I have already installed HKS's VAC, TOM's throttle controller and SURUGA SPEED's muffler.
I'm now considering to get 20" wheels and tires.
Then brake upgrade.

Any chance you could help us get JDM parts not easily available in the US. Like 6000k Philips bulbs, and LS600H shift *****?

Thank you very much for offering me a help.
Yes, I think I can help you, as long as I can do.
However, I think you can easily find out those things on ebay.
Am I wrong?
