Who was the mechanic, Stevie Wonder? Give me a break, your mechanic is the true idiot . Your L-TUNED Springs should be in a sealed box clearly marked and the shocks should be in a sealed box with L-TUNED Instructions inside.

i think he is just exaggerating with the 5"... but if they did give him the wrong springs and they actually did fit then it would probably be more like 3-4 inches...

OK guys. Stop beating on luciano. He is obviously upset at the outcome. Let's not rub salt on his wounds.
luciano, have you contacted Sewell yet? If so, please wait for them to respond before coming onto a public forum and calling them names. The bickering and name calling is totally counterproductive. Sewell has done well by many members, even when they make mistakes so please let them deal with the situation before pushing this hard line of feedback.
If anyone has something helpful to add (like the part number pic that Dave posted), please do. Otherwise, please refrain as hot heads cannot help towards a favorable outcome.
Thanks.

Mr. Canadian who first declares Sewell is a bunch of morons for sending him IS springs in a GS box....then Mr. Canuck boy claims his LEXUS dealer installs IS springs in his GS which drops it an UNBELIEVABLE 4-5" which is INSANE because even COILOVERS don't drop that low on the GS (Its impossible to drop 4-5" on a GS without going THROUGH THE FLOOR with the car)
Then Mr. Canuck boy claims his fancy schmancy mechanic goes and installs IS springs in a GS which are obviously SMALLER than GS springs
and I'm the slow one........................riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.............

This is your final warning. We've tried via PM to explain to you why your name calling and inflammatory statements are not acceptible behaviour on our forum. We've tried giving you public warnings.
There are example after example where you've been the cause of threads to be locked and where you ignore moderator requests and continue arguing. And dozens of them where you stoop to name calling or mockery like this instance. Just a couple of others...

Cut it out please. PM me if you want to discuss further.

Here are the pictures, this rub a dub setup looks like Jtayno's Air Suspension but a cheap version that looks like the trunk is full of bricks.
Sewell has returned my e-mail and are being helpful so far... ill let everyone know how it goes.

thats pretty scary... and it would suck if they didnt foot the bill for you to fix it. i would be in a bad way if i saw my car come out looking like that. right now my rear sits lower than the front because of all my audio equipment and the set up i have in my trunk... i hope it doenst look too weird after i install the l-tuned shocks/springs. i hope all the shocks/springs offered at the discount didnt come out like this? my l-tuned springs came in an l-tuned white box and the shocks came in a brown box labeled "gs300/400 shocks" i think... i hope everything works out.

whoah, definitely something amiss. That is LOW!
But on to bigger questions... how does it handle

The handling is good, very stable on the highway, was able to go 130MPH (Not sure if that's safe or not) without a shake or bump, thats about the only plus.
The ride quality is also surprisingly good, just feel minor bumps and off course the underbody rubs on about any little parking lot exit.
Other than that, the rear end sagged down looks stupid.
Sewell has contacted me, I sent them all the info/pictures, waiting for reply.
