Default Traded in 2006 GS 300 for 2007 GS 350 AWD

Hello Folks,
Traded in a 2006 GS 300 for a 2007 GS 350 AWD. What a difference in the ride. I am glad I made the decision.

Must drop immediately. That thing looks like a 4x4.

If he likes the ride over his old car, then he probably shouldn't mess with it. We all know how easy it is to f-up the ride on an awd model

Looks good but if you're in Georgia why did you get an AWD? As for drop you can go F-Sport which is moderate drop, better handling and no issues with vibrations and wobbles.

DO NOT LOWER AN AWD GS!!!!!!!! If you do you will have issues with wobble and vibration. My good friend Adam had to ditch his AWD GS because he couldnt take the annoying vibration any more

I'm good with my setup brother. True everybody I know with coils or different springs have a lot of issues. I sat in an other members AWD with BC Coils and without putting the car into gear I felt the vibs all throughout. I wont even go putting it into drive. Funny thing is he was dropped with stock rims not even a staggered setup or anything.

I think on the count on almost everybody with F-sports were happy and 2nd came in BC Coils with minor issues.

I am a stock kind of guy. The only other thing that I will be adding to this vehicle is 35% window tint.
Thanks.
