I didn't see any other threads about lowering an AWD version of the GS350. I went ahead and ordered the tanabe nf210 lowering springs made for the RWD version and put them on my AWD model. I had an alignment done at the same time as installing the springs. I've driven about 15 miles on them and there aren't any problems yet. No wobbling or shaking that I can tell. Ride is slightly more stiff than stock but still very comfortable. The car might settle a little bit as I drive it more so it might get lower. Here are a couple pictures I took took while filling up at the gas station. Sorry about the dirty car and crappy iphone pictures.

I'll see if I can find some before pictures and also take some better pictures of the car. I'm probably going to have another alignment done in a couple weeks, I wasn't sure if alignment would affect the wobbling/vibrations so I decided to do one right after lowering.

I don't notice vibrations at stoplights. If there is any vibrations its so slight I can't tell the difference from stock. But that may change as the car settles over the next couple weeks. I'll keep you posted of any changes.

nice conservative drop.,looks good. the wheels look like they need to be pushed out a little with spacers, especially the back wheels. does anyone know if spacers compromise the ride quality? and oh yeah... she needs a bath.

I'm definitely not a patient person, I ordered these springs when the car had less than 500 miles. Lol Couldn't stand the ride height. I'm skeptical Lexus will ever offer lowering springs for the AWD model. If they ever do come out with them I'll switch over to those.
