Ryan let me know if you have heard from them. I am making some good progress on my end and have lined up a vendor from CL to fabricate these parts. Vendor is PPE Engineering

 

Talk about getting us worked up for nothing :P

 

im just waiting to see if we can get an axle. thats pretty much driving the whole thing right now. Paul has agreed to do it as long as we can get him parts.

 

sorry for the late reply guys. no one can find aftermarket axles. it seems that they have to be gotten from the dealership, and my stealership just quoted me $1132 each axle without installation. quoting 940 just to change both cv boots. needless to say, i think that we may want to explore another option to aquire the axles for testing. i am certainly not paying over 2k just for parts. guess we will have to look elsewhere for test parts; maybe a junkyard? i'm willing to contribute to the cost if it helps get this done for everyone. i would imagine you could pick them up fairly cheap, though finding them may be difficult.
edit - i will continue to call specialty shops to see if they can find a more cost effective solution to purchase axles.

 

thanks for the update ryan. i'll contact my tech and see if he has any bad axles at the shop that he wants to unload. maybe i'll get lucky and he'll have a set laying around.

thank you. I have already contact a company who is a vendor here who is willing to help us out but any other help is appericated too.

i contacted my tech and they do not have any axles at the dealer.

 

Just lowered my 08 GS350 AWD with some F-sport springs. I can't explain how much an inch makes a difference.

I consider myself experienced in the DIY area with cars. Coming from Hondas, i was expecting this to be slightly different but still easy. Forgot how Toyota/Lexus adds all that extra BS in the way to make my job harder, ie. fender liner in the rear, trunk carpet, etc. All in all, it only took me 4 hours. Not too bad for my first lowering of this model (at least I thought that was semi-quick).

Didnt experience any problems so far (knock on wood). No lights on dash, no noises, nothing. Only notice the ride got slightly bumper, but it could be in my head. Then again, that is expected when you lower a car.

Rims are going to be here any day... can't wait. Will post pictures when I can.

 

IXI187IXI any updates on the spacers?

 

until i can get axles no. i sent Paul an email late last week. hes going to see if he can look for something but at this point, unless someone close to AZ can drop a car off, id say were SOL

 

execuse my stupidness....i would like to ask if im going to drop it by 1 inch, is it affecting wheels alignment and is it going to cause tires to wear? mine is GS300AWD

 

you should get an alignment after you drive it for a few hundred miles/km. 1" drop on AWD will not cause abnormal tire wear.

 

Just got my 07 gs lowered...You guys where not kidding with the wobble/vibration. I'm considering going back to stock it's so bad. But i probably won't bc of it's bad azz stance now.
keep us posted with the fix!
07 gs350 tanabe nf210 shakes @ idle/ wobbles @ low speed 15-30mph.
