Default L-Tune ID?

I'm shopping for a used GS. Some of them claim to have the L-Tune package (w/ suspension) installed. How can I tell it is really a L-Tune suspension, especially if it was installed after by an by the dealership after point of sale.?

Usually the spring will be labeled L-tuned. The L-tuned springs also has more coil winding than OEM springs. Also, if the car has OEM-size wheel/tires, then the wheel gap should be around 2.5-3 finger gaps all around. I think OEM was 4 finger gaps for me. lol.

Looks right to me. Let's see the exhaust and grill and we can tell you if they're right too.

What are the rims? Can you tell if they are OZ L-Tuned style? (if that is such a thing).

Yes they are one of two styles available (or at least three of them are, look for the fourth in the trunk). Appears to be missing centercaps

Thumbs down

Had to pass on this one. It was a multi-accident vehicle. The last accident required a new trunk pan, rear-quarter panel and frame straightening.
