I just ordered a set of eibach springs for my 2006 lexus gs300 awd. I see that other people have used the pro kit they offer but i just called eibach and they said they will not work on the awd i though rwd and awd springs are the same please let me know if these springs will work on my car or not thank you so much

awd has different front suspension, so the springs might not fit perfectly. that's why some people got front vibration after installing springs on their awd

i think (correct me) right now there is the BC coilovers that are for awd, i am not sure if there are springs specifically designed for awd?

I know about the vibrations but my question is this will the springs fit on the car and is there any risk for damage to the car after or during install

Yes road magnets offer AWD specific springs for the GS. There is a member selling them in the classified if you decide you want them.

doesnt matter. rwd or awd springs, members will have vibrations. the awd gs is just not a good car to lower without problems. it mainly has to do with the cv axles.

it doesnt matter which you order. people still had vibrations even with the road magnet springs. the springs are not causing the vibrations.
