How many miles did you out get on the stock shocks while being lowered

Costs on new oem shocks for the gs350 fpsort.

I had an IS250 lowered on fsport Springs with fpsort shocks, but only got about 45 miles before they need replacements.

Worried to lower it again on just Springs and don't want to lose the dampening on the sport models.

Thanks
I've had the Tanabe springs on my daily driver since June of 2013 and still on the same set of factory shocks. No issues:

read post #18 and #20 here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ml#post9303836

IMO these are the best damn springs i have put in any car!

Bumping this up just to see if anything running this same setup (NF210, 15mm front and 20mm rear) has also run 245/40 and 275/35 tires to replace the stock 235/40 and 265/35. I ordered the coils and spacers today, so I am hoping all fits nicely with no rubbing.

Thanks to Kevin and the rest of the 168 Motoring team. Best prices on the springs and labor by far. If you're in Socal I highly recommend giving them your business.
























Picking up H&R spacers (15mm front and 20mm rear) tomorrow and getting them installed later this week to flush out the wheels.

Anybody have 20s on RS-R super downs I can see?? Since superdowns are lower than down suspension, was a camber kit needed since it sits lower?

You will not need a camber kit. Unless you have super aggressive 20s.

@jarabanos You should head out to the Lexus Meet this Friday in Rancho Cucamonga so I can see our setup!!! Thinking about dropping mine too but with an in-person visual, it would really help me decide.
