![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hello,
i am looking for any technically information regarding the F-sport springs that are out for the GS such as spring rates and the amount of drop it gives. Any information at all will be greatly appreciated. i'm trying to find out any info that might help with a drop for an GS350awd compared to the tanabe NF210's
. Thank you!

i know of all the drops available with the GS....however there doesn't seem to much info about specifically the F-sport springs. lexus doesn't have any info out for them yet but they are on sale from sewell lexus. it's either these springs if the specs work out or back to stock.
Coils are not an option, way to much money for only keeping the car until next spring.
the reason for the lesser drop over the NF's is the drive train wobble that is occurring in the car with the NF's. partly in due to i think the drastic angle in which the front drive shafts are sitting and also the seating of the NF's on the mounts.

IS f-sport drop front: 25 mm (approx. 0.98 inches)
IS f-sport drop rear: 19 mm (approx. 0.75 inches)
i assume the drop is before the springs settles; all IS spring info from http://www.f-sport.com/#

i own an IS with the springs i know how much They drop the car.
My Father has the 07 GS350awd with the tanabe's...i want to know specifics for the GS because i bet the springs are not the same rates or drop for the GS compared to the IS since it is a heavier car.
i asked in Sewell thread on how much the drop is on the GS....no answer thats whay i came here.

were already on tanabes' and caused a rear upper control link to come out and break....for the awd especially for the 06's they have a drive train wobble...where u actually feel the car shake on the highway and from a stop. with a more minimal drop, like i would assume with the F-sport springs give, there will be less stress on the drive train and minimize the extreme angle the front half shafts currently have with the TANABE drop.
all i am looking for is the F-sport specs to see the actual drop and the springs rates since the *** end also bottoms out on the bump stops over rough pavement. if it's more then what we are looking for then it's a no go, the F-sport will not be purchased and the car will go back to stock. i know some people on the board some times have the inside scoop on toyota and lexus and what they are coming out with.
