Hi,
I have ’09 GS450h, recently I have installed NF210 on my car.
And I notice the front driver side is lower then the other side, is it normal?
The car is brand new never been in accident.
I planning to change to TEIN CST, do you thing I should fix the driver side to have a same height with passanger side?
If I make the driver side same as passenger side, is there any effect on anything (driving, alignment, etc)?

Thanks for the input.

thats typical for springs. its not always even when lowered based off the way the weight is distributed on the car.

my awd is lower on driver then passenger. drives me nuts, every car that i have ever lowered on springs has been lower on the driver side for some reason.

So do you think I should fix it with Coil over?

that is the case even from factory, just that the huge wheel gap makes it less noticeable. there is no fix for springs, doing coilovers will be the only way to adjust all corners independently

I had the same issue with my NF210's and GF210's on my old G35 and with my Tein H tech springs on my GS. I went with the Tein CST because of this but have never had sagging with the springs with the coilovers.



The issue with this sagging will affect the appearance and will also create pulling to one side or a steering wheels that doesn't seem perfectly aligned. In the end the coilover route really is the best because you are custom height adjustable, the springs are designed to work with the shocks ( as opposed to aftermarket springs on factory shocks), and you have the option to get the EDFC and have the suspension set up be more adjustable than the factory ride setting options

Looks good. Those are Ray's, right? I almost bought a set a while back. Now I know what they would've looked like on my car!.

Curious, what size tires are you running and what are the specs on the wheels?

Looks solid man. Very very nice. The stance is clean but on the conservative side. I say take advantage of the easy adjustability of the coilovers and have some fun with it. Take it in and have them bring it all the way down. The car will look insane and still ride relatively well. I had by ride adjusted a dozen times. Its usually about a 45 minute job for the tech at my local shop. Because the rear tires are a little fatter on the sidewall profile I say tuck the rear and make it flush in the front. Either way you got a beautiful ride with some beautiful wheels and you have that nice dropped look. I say burn a few sets of tires and then raise it back up. You will love the way it looks. You also have the option to play with the suspension stiffness . I tend to prefer the suspension to be at a harder setting in the rear. This gives the car better corner exit feel( for a 2 ton lexus) and prevents the rear from dropping to much with bumps in the road.

I want to...it was like 1" lower then now, but the passenger is complaining all the way (which is my wife...).
and its rub too much on the back, even I shave the rear and put it on hardest. Now I can put to all the way soft. I still got some light rub on deep bump.
