No offense, but make sure everyone knows that lowering a 3rd Gen GS (even with NF, which I have), causes uneven tire wear. This is due primarily to the lack of rear camber adjustment. The responsible thing to do would be to spend R&D money on producing a camber kit.
The tough part isn't even replacing the tires prematurely, it's the howling that starts after about 4-5,000 miles.

Seriously, on the East Coast you have to special order RWD because dealership has ONLY AWD. While, on the West Coast its the reverse situation where you hardly get any AWD. This going to be a tough one to find anybody with AWD in So Cal, and than convince them to mod
