Yeah, I'd like to try CKS with stiffer Swift springs. The springs that comes with RSR kit is too soft, so hitting dips/bumps on road with cause rubbing. I may have to roll my fenders to avoid rub. But stiffer springs will degrade the ride quality. So chose your poison. I know some GS F guys with CKS w/Swift and they love them.

Didn't want to start a new thread for this, just add some data that might be useful for others in the future.
2013 GS350 AWD Luxury ~90k miles.
Installed Tanabe NF210 springs two years ago at ~80k miles.
Inspection report today says right front shock is leaking.
No knowing whether lowering affected the life in a material way or whether this failure was imminent.
Replacement part number (48510-80681) is updated from the original (48510-80571), so there may have been an issue w the original design.
