So I have been going back and forth on whether to get lowering springs or not, I finally decided to get them. I purchased F-Sport lowering springs and now I'm having questions, do I need to replace my shocks when I put these springs on and also will these springs be able to hold the extra weight of the GS-H. Thanks in advance!

No, shocks will be grand.
Yes, as they are listed as being applicable to hybrid owners on Sewell's page for them.

what are these f Springs i hear about...?
Are they from the 4G GS??
That would be great because i have been going crazy trying to find some springs in Switzerland.Its like looking for a Bigfoot.

Ok Thanks a-bunch, cause wasnt really sure on that.

These are the lowering springs for our GS from Lexus. They are offered as a replacement to the stock springs, people usually dont get them because the drop is not huge.

Boron

Lexus Europe decided in their infinite wisdom, not to bother with the F-Sport range of accessories/upgrades.
If you/we want it, personal import time, with all the nice little extra taxes and postage costs associated with doing so.

Needless to say...that sucks....
how big is the drop on those springs...

im kinda getting tired of trying to find springs for my car here in CH....but i have seen some for sale already with a drop...have even contacted the seller who says they are springs and it is noted in the registration card....

I've been told that the Tanabe NF210 can work with our cars, you can try those or go with the f-sport springs.

25mm (1").

Yeah i know about the tanabe...
The problem is,you can not install them here legally...
Any modification needs to be noted in your registration card.
Tanabe does not offer their products in Switzerland so i can not install them...i mean i could but of they catch me im gonna have to take them out...
