Default Installed: F-Sport Springs and Sway Bars !

So, my buddies and I finished up my install of the F-Sport Springs, new OEM front and rear shocks, new strut tower bushings, and the F-Sport Sway bars...

2008 GS460 110k miles

I have to say... I'm impressed... The combo of the new shocks and bushings makes the ride so much better than the worn out 100k+ mile parts on the car.

The Sway bars are amazing, cornering is flat as can be.

The springs ride fine... no worse than the "SPORT" setting before.

Ride height was maybe a 1" drop, still guessing they will settle in more but I'm fine with it.

over all, the dealer wanted $900 for one front strut replacement and $1600 for the rears.

I am into all of this for $500 less than the dealer wanted.

Super happy.

now to try and find the F-Sport brake kit.

Were these the F-Sport Springs or the Lowering Springs? I'm curious on doing this also with my 3GS and just might do it all together when it's time to replace parts. I have quite some time so who knows.

He clearly stated that they are F-Sport springs in his description.

Yes, I went with the F-Sport springs, I didn't want to compromise the ride as it is a daily.

Lowered enough to eliminate gap, and squat it down nicely.

In now way is this "Stanced" or "dropped"

but I'm happy with it.

Oh okay. I somehow for some reason thought F-Sport Springs and the Lexus Lowering Springs were two different items but they are the same thing. Oops my bad. But thanks!
