Default F-Sport Spring ETA?

Looking to see if anyone has some insight on when the F-sport springs will be available. The Lexus site says Summer. Do you know who makes them? Eibach? My car has got 100 miles on it, and its begging for a drop. Coming from an IS-F, driving the GS is like being in a SUV at the moment :-)

Keeping the electronic dampening control is important for me, so coilovers are not an option.

Eibach and Hotchkis historically have been suspension component suppliers to TRD USA. Summer is the ETA but no exact date has been set.

You can cut your springs like Vossen did

Haha! No thanks! That is something I would have done on my first car that cost me $1500, not on my $60k ride :-) I actually got some springs lined up.

I am seeing F-Sport Lexus springs for sale on eBay. Seller in Arizona claims to have 10 sets available.

Yeah that's for the 2006 to 2011 GS/IS....

The MY2013 are still due out "Late Summer"...

You should be considering RSR Lowering Springs... If you're in a rush..

Default 2013 GS 350 f sport springs

These are now available through a dealer so can someone please post pictures and report the actual drop since Lexus is only claiming approximately a one inch drop but they don't
have the exact drop specs to release.

They aren't available yet and there is no part number published for the 4th Gen GS F Sport springs.

FYI: I'm not sure where you are sourcing your info....

The part number you are posting is for the 2006-2011 3rd Gen GS..


ALL of my direct sources have the same answers.. "TO BE ANNOUCED"


Also some advice, there is really NO need to bump up every F-Sport Spring thread....

Would the F Sport springs that are for the RWD just not fit the AWD or is it that Lexus would just prefer you not to lower the AWD?
