I just traded my RX350 for a GS350, needed to get back into a Sedan. This is my 4th Lexus, had the GS300 before the RX350. I'm noticing in my 2007 GS350 that it sits really low compared to the last GS I owned. Since this is a used car I want to be sure that they are supposed to sit so low, that is my only complaint. I don't really get the luxury car feel as in my GS300 when I'm so much lower that most other cars on the road. I realize that I was higher in the RX350 but I'm comparing to other cars of similar size. Can someone offer some insight that will help me to feel better about my new Lex, otherwise I love the car.

how much space is between the fender and tires?

Don't know exact measurement, but not much, fender very close to top of tire

Your car sounds like it is lowered. There is a significant visual gap between the tire and the fenders on a stock car. You should expect the car to ride lower than a Lincoln or Cadillac, but be comparable in ride height to most other luxury sedans.

Ive noticed a similar issue with my 460 and my friends 430. His 430 has much less space between fenders and tires than mine even tho the car is NOT lowered!!! Dont know what this indicates....

You could just look up the GS350 height on the Lexus website. If you want to be certain it hasn't changed since 2007, go to Lexus Owners website where you can register as an owner and see all sorts of manuals and data on your car.

height of the whole car as a whole

i think pictures would be the easiest way to tell

The height of the car means nothing here as it could be the design of the car (for instance the GS/M35 have pretty equal clearances but the M35 is 58 inches tall). Its about ground clearance and if it was lowered or not.

Pics will help.

well the first thing i would do is jack the car up and look at the springs. that will be a dead give away.
