If it doesn't rub, you may have just discovered a cost saving alternative to air suspension for some of our members.

honestly tho, you can't compare...the 1G GS is higher than 2G GS, you have 19's, I am on 16's.... 19's definitely raise you up a bit
and judging by your pictures, you are definitely higher than me. My bumper is ~4" off the ground
driveways in NY are steep, I need to take it at an angle or I scrape my bumper and my exhaust tips

I would think that there would be more pot holes than higher roads...

4" of the ground from the front, not rear
rear is a bit higher...maybe 6"

I'll chime in here.
Here's a photo of the front spring (I think) that I rec'd for Sewell last week. I trust they are correct but hopefully someone in the know can confirm these part numbers.
Thanks and good luck with your issues.

luciano-
It seems silly but, could they have installed them in reverse (fronts in rear)? Because the front springs are shorter than the rears? That may explain the dramatic drop in the rear versus the front.
The front springs measure 12.75 versus 13.50" out of the box. If installed in reverse with the different natural compression (front v. rears) the fronts being shorter and stiffer, and the rears, taller and softer (no engine weight) in rear, this would obviously cause the *** to droop.
If I am a betting man, they have the springs on backwards (fronts in rear) thus the bassacward look. I am no expert, but thought it may be a reasonable explaination.

Sorry to hear that you are having a bad experience with Sewell Lexus / Lexus-Parts.com. I have been in touch with Darrel for my L-Tuned shocks order and he has always had prompt and clear communication. There was a mix up on the shipping/billing address and he handled it ASAP and very professionally. I'm sure if you find that there is a problem with the springs, he'll quickly replace them.
RE: Pics.
WHOA!!!! That IS too low to move. Parked it looks cool. like your on air bags but your mufflers look like they're dragging. Can you drive? Do you bounce? Bouncing is a clear sign of cut springs.
Do you have a trunk loaded with amps, subs, MDF, fiberglass, and a spare tire?
