Going back to stock height.
Hey Guys,
I have an AWD350 and been on NF210s for the last 2 years, i'm 90% sure i'm going back to stock height this winter when i take off the rims. I'm just not feeling the wobble and vibrations anymore, its a shame when you drive a 50K car and you don't really want to drive around with your family and in-laws, LOL. I had it on 20s at stock height when i first got the car and it didn't look too bad, it does look much better lowered, but i'm tired of sacrificing the ride quality. Has anyone else with an AWD gone back to stock height? I'm still going to keep my 20s on there for spring, summer, and fall. I drive everyday with 3 people in the car, I drive with my brothers to work, so it will have a small appeal of lowered, LOL.

Not to mention that you can go over speed bumps, park on snow banks and drive up steep inclines without worrying about it.
With NJ having mostly the same climate as where I live, I think you're on the right track and being practical.

i want to lower my gs but have read about these vibrations and wobbles. is it really that bad? i'm coming from a lowered 02 subaru wrx so maybe it won't bother me as much compared to people who are not use to it?

just go with coilovers, i know there's an app for the GS350 AWD. with the AWD specific coilovers, you won't have any wobble and vibrations anymore.

After reviewing the pics, I have to agree - it does look funny at stock height on 20s.

hey guys, so i was doing more thinking and looking at pics with GS's at stock height and i'm going to stay lowered on my NFs. The vibrations aren't really the problem, its more the wobble, especially in traffic when your forced to drive 15mph the whole time. But i don't really want to sacrifice the look right now. Hopefully the next Lexus i get will have a Sport suspension option like the Bimmers do, then i can stay factory with bigger rims or a RWD GS. Was looking at my GS yesterday from the window and just can't go back to stock height, LOL.
