100% agreed. Lots of decent options. Tein is not one of them.

RR is what I’m going to get along with the bushings and control arm.

Hi guys,

I've been driving a 2016 Lexus GSF for around 2 years now. The vehicle is stock except for TOMS drop in high flow air filter and Swift Sport Springs.

I am thinking of going back to stock spring setup and was wondering if anyone knew anything about the adaptive suspension available on 2017+ GSF and if they can be retrofitted into the 2016?

In addition to the stock setup was thinking of going the route of spacers front and rear for a slighter more aggressive stance. Any vendors recommended for the GSF?

Appreciate your feedback fellows!

Cheers!

You cannot add 2017+ suspension to 2016 GSF. You don't have the wirings to plug these in and uses a different ECU to control these adjustments.

Modified for truth. Anything can be done if you want it bad enough.

I wouldn't bother. I'd get altogether better suspension - the plan for the wife's car is Ohlins DFVs. I have them on my IS F right now and they're amazing.

Have heard of the Ohlins DFV. How would you compare them to the OEM option?

The DFVs are on my IS F. I really can't say anything about them on a GS F.
