Default Goodbye GS300 AWD...
I've finally pulled the trigger!

I finally said goodbye to my GS AWD last week and brought home a 2009 LS460L with touring package. I really miss my GS but I'm glad that I am driving vibration/wobble free! I can't wait to get my Data Controller and some rims!

Goodbye!!!

what's in the touring package?

They both looks beautiful. imo your GS300 wheel look better.

touring has air suspension, supposedly sport tuned
larger 19" wheels
thicker sway bars
larger front brake discs

his gs300 has aftermarket wheels, the ls460l has factory 19s. the gs300 wheels better look good

I have a GS400 with 208k miles and was considering GS300/350 AWD because the winter driving in OH is bad. Was interested in why you think you had so much vibrations and wobbling in your GS300

Thanks for the answer. I thought touring suppose to make things softer so the ride is smoother for cruising.

I still like my spider wheel... here is a pic I took last night.

3gs awd, with lowering, has a lot of vibration issues

Very bad trade, I love the LS but that color and those rims just don't do it. You should of gotten it in white that would be awesome. But either way its an upgrade.

Congrats on the buy. Ive always had a soft spot for LS460's with those chrome wheels.
