well i may have located an awd driveshaft to help develope a spacer with PPE. Hopefully this is all PPE needs to start designing something. I will keep this updated as i keep in touch with Paul.

I have an 07 AWD that I have purchased F sport springs for, but probably won't install for some time. I have a machine shop across the street with whom I exchange favors...let me know if I can help. I will be in Philly 10/15 thru 10/17.

interesting. i think im going to stick with PPE for now since they are a vendor on here and if this product does help, we will be able to sell it easier with such a great company as PPE who have also develope other Lexus products for our community. I appericate the offer though!

hi johnny k and ryan, i do not know how to get photos on this post but i have 2 viair compressors a chrome 4 gal tank and yes i did keep the stock struts UAS had to modify them, * AWD will not go as low as the RWD without modifying the struts* i have all the valves in the trunk along with tank and comps, i just tucked the lines along with the frame and drilled the holes in the trunk, i will try to get pics posted

host them on a site like photobucket and then you the forum code or this button to post the image. if you dont know the address just right click the pic, go to properties and it says address (URL), thats what you want to use.

So u sent uas ur struts to be modified? If so I wonder if they could go ahead and mount the bags while they was modifying the strut. I'm also wondering how much space the tank and compressor would take. To me the gs trunk already seems kinda small. Are u on 20s or 19s?

no johnny i didnt send them anything, i am about 60 miles from UAS so i drove there and they modded it, the tank and compressors take little space depends on how you want to install, you could use the spare tire area but you would lose the spare i used the spot in the trunk where the back seats are and did all my valves in the spare tire area and drilled holes for the lines. i have 20x9.0 all around.. not the nicest wheels but they were free .. i will post pics this weekend
