Default F-sport Springs possible!

Does anyone know if it is possible to put the f-sport springs on a GS with the adaptive suspension system. All advice accepted!

Yes. You can put F-Sport springs on AVS. You just can't change the shocks otherwise you lose the AVS feature.

There are GS460 members who have F-Sport springs, and others who have TTE springs. All GS460s have AVS.

springs have nothing to do with your shock/struts. putting springs on will not make you lose your AVS

So the f-sport will be ok with the AVS right!

one concern that has been discussed previously is that the shocks will have less travel due to the shorter springs. Seems that this could potentially shorten the life of the shock if overcompressed, but I'm not aware of anyone that has trashed a set of AVS shocks using F-Sport or other mild drop springs.

Yes, I have a GS460 with adaptive suspension and I have replaced my OEM springs with Eibach springs. I plan on replacing the entire system with the BC Racing Coil Over system.

Right now, I am forced to run on stiff setting to avoid rubbing.

Note this is because of his big wheels. With stock wheels, he could run the springs and have no issues.

Batman, are you referring to me? Because my rubbing is strictly due to my 10mm spacers. My 19" MRR GT! wheels on Eibach springs worked like a charm!
