So I am considering ordering a 2013 GS350 F-Sport package and had 2 questions.

1. I am wondering if the Active park assist will notify you when to stop when you are parking in a lot or space that has a concrete bar at the end of each space. I would be worried that the front fascia is so low I might damage it if I pull forward too much.

2. Can anyone who has lowered their GS chime in on the cost to lower it and the springs? The Lexus site has the F-Sport lowering springs for $299 but I am assuming the dealership will have a stiff price for installation. I am wondering what others have paid before I decide if this is something I want to pursue.

Thanks,
Ryan

the park assist is only where the nose of the bumper sticks out, so you will have to be careful for concrete curb stops.

i'm always weary on where i park, so if i see a curb stop or curb island, i always inch forward slowly and sometimes even get out of the car. but most curb stops our there, our front bumper clears it.

if you lower the car, you will most likely hit even the lowest curb stop since i clear then by about 1 inch.

buy the F Sport springs from sewell lexus. go to sponsor section. register and receive a discount on your springs. Lexus dealer/$299.00... Sewell/$230.00 give or take a dollar or 2. the sensor will not alert you to anything that low. i've parked over them with inches to spare between the concrete and the bottom of my bumper. once i drop the car i won't be parking over them.

Looks like this guy lowered his with Tanabe springs...perfect picture to give you an idea if it will clear. Doesn't look like it, once you lower it.

Thats a good pic to judge by. Doesn't look like it will come close once lowered. I will need to just make sure I stay a foot back to be safe.

agree with previous poster, get the springs from sewell then post the specs here I'll need it when I go for the swift springs

FYI about the Lexus springs - they're not released yet so your order through sewell will just be a pre-order for now.
