Think RS downs are too low for me and don't like the way the rear looks lower then front. Want a mild drop of around 1" and settled for Tanabe or Swift based on pics and discussions.

Anybody know the correct part numbers or where I can purchase these for a 2018?

Thanks!


My 2020, Lowered on swift springs, model 4T911.

Initial opinions are it’s more stiff and less “floaty” feeling and love how it looks. This should be the stock look!

Sorry for the late reply..those offsets were recommended by Vertini biased on what I told them...lowered on RSR Downs..want close to flush fitment without rolling/pulling fenders and not have any rubbing issues.

Did you need to get the camber kit to align it properly?

How does it handle compared to stock? Less body roll?

Default What springs to lower?

Hi all, I just joined, have had my GS 350 for about two years now and finally started thinking of modifications. Just installed 20 inch wheels but I hate the wheel gap, I wanna lower it but I don’t want any rubbing whatsoever, wondering if I can successfully accomplish this feat? Seen some nice GS on this forum and hoping to make mine look sweet than stock.

tips? Tricks?

I am lowered on RSR Downs and dont have any issues with rubbing in the rears only a slight rub in the front on high speed dips in the road with a full load of passengers. But its also gonna depend on the wheel size your running and offsets. I am running 19x8.5 +30 and 19x9.5 +42 with 245/40/19 & 275/35/19. Here is what mine looks like. Also seeing that your in Canada are you AWD? if so it does not lower as much as the RWD

Thanks for the quick reply! Your car looks sweet! Yes, AWD, with 20x9 + 35 front, 20x10.5 +45 rear, 245-35-20 and 275-30-20

Ok I’ll look into the springs you have, not many purchasing options here in Toronto sadly.

You should be fine but dont quote me on that as many have said they run the sizes you have with no issues and then some say they have slight rubbing in the back..also I suggest you get the rear SPC camber arms which I have, that way you can always add a little negative camber if your rubbing with a full load. Also time to black out that chrome trim..and make that USB 2.0 Pop..
