Default 3GS AWD and Air Suspension

Hey All - Just picked up a 07 GS AWD and noticed the infamous wobble that everyone refers to when lowering an AWD vehicle. All the posts say the wobble and vibration were not present pre lowering. So my thought is to install air suspension to bring the car back to original ride height for normal driving. This is what it currently looks like with lowering springs in the rear and RCA blocks in the front. Love the car...if I can fix this one flaw I would be happy. Thoughts?


Front on RCA blocks

Rear on lowering springs

What did you end up going with? Also, what wheel, lug and brake setup do you have, as it looks sick!

Did you black out your chrome or do a chrome delete by the way?

I’ve heard bagging an AWD and laying frame means a lot of extra cost and headaches. As I’m thinking about getting a 2006ish AWD, what has your experience been? Trying to figure out if I should try to get a RWD or an AWD. It’s much easier to find an AWD…
