Default AWD from tein back to stock....

well as i mentioned a few times in all the other forms i have a vibration/trembling which is bugging me out. seems like the only way i can pin point it out is putting my stock springs back on and if the vibration will still be there then lexus cant tell me blah blah springs. they will find it. i really don't want to go back to stocks but it will be temporary until i get this solved :/

let this be a lesson to AWD owners: AWD+Lowered springs = VIBRATION!!!

theres a reason the MFG of those components dont list the AWD version of the 3GS compatible.

I hope a fix comes soon. Your GS is beautiful, but with the vibration, I can see the disgust.

The lack of lowing springs is why I left my GS stock. Shame really, as I love to modify my cars.

if you really love modding, you should have considered getting the RWD instead of the AWD

Not necessarily true! I think "gs350on22s" is the only one with these hard to find vibration issues. My vehicle's vibrations are the same with Tanabe NF210's compared to stock.

This may not apply here but I have lowering springs on a different vehicle and the cause of my vibration was due to the fact that my springs lowered the car too close to the drive train. Have you had the vibration ever since you put the springs on or did it appear later? Good luck, I hope they find the problem.

first of all when i purchased my car they left me in a way that i had no choice of getting an AWD. when i got to the dealership i told him i wanted the gs430 because i used to have the 01 430 v8 so i didn't want to go lower than that. he said that he has a 350 awd and thats all they have and if i wanted a rwd then i have to wait 4 months for a special order and etc so it left me with no choice kinda. on top of that i didn't really know about all this after i got all in to modding the car.
i will definitely go back to lowering my car and i will find a way of making this work hopefully. its not fair just because were awd not to be able to enjoy a lowered car

i never had these issues when i purchased the car. i remember i drove 130 miles away from home up to 120 mph and the car was smooth like butter. once i put the wheels on i then went for another 200 mile trip and i was getting vibrations on the highway and i clearly remember that..

i understand, i was in a similar situation with my GS 450h...i wanted the 450h, but it only came in obsidian/black...if i wanted silver (my first choice), i had to wait like 2-3 months before any shipment was to come in. but then i did get good financing
