GS350 Fsport AWD- lower it or not ? what do I uses with a yes?
Hello Guys
So my 2103 GS 350 F sport is being worked with new wald kit and 20" rims so the shop has asked if I want to lower it with adjustable springs. Really I have heard mixed messages on lowering this car mainly because it is an AWD which my understanding can lead to problems later on.
Can anyone with an AWD that has lowered already tell me the experience and which route I should take?
thank you in advance!

My friend has a lowered is250 awd and since then he had to replace the front axle twice because the boot started leaking and the rear 02 sensor as the wires were ripped off from something in the road.

Well if you plan on keeping your car for a very long time and is OCD like me when it comes to squeaks and rattles, I wouldnt suggest it. As the car ages, the structure will start to loosen up gradually and adding more stress to it will just accelerate the creaks and groans. You have 20inch rims already, so I'm assuming that fills the wheel wells pretty well already.

Ok guys this is good feedback.situman- Yes I plan on keeping the car for some time especially if my son wants to drive in a few years. And because the warranty is still in place ill pass on lowering right now.
thanks
thanks
