The Tanabe NF210's are the ones that drop it the least amount. The spring rate is only 5% stiffer then stock. And if you know anything about Lexus stuff, it's pretty dayam smooth. 5% is nothing. If you want more of an extreme drop, you can go with the DF210's or even go coils. Your choice.

But as far as the NF's, they are almost exactly like stock, with a little drop...hope this helps buddy...If you got any other questions feel free to hit me up!!!

On a different note...this thread is freakin old!!!

LOL. yeah, it's old, but I've never forgotten about your dad's Lexus! My wife's been oogling over this GS for a while now. Of course, if she buys one, I'm going to drop it...maybe on 20" VS-XX's?

As hot as the VS-XX's would be may I also bring these to the table for your viewing also...I think this look is hot too...Jus my 2 cents...

The Work Euroline SL's...







My friend's ride from a lil while back. He is dropped on the tanabe DF210's which drop the car lower then the NF's. Think of the NF's as a "sports" drop and the DF's as the "race" drop...

I know there is a GS300 with the VS-XX in 20's. I'll try to post some pics so you can have an idea...

Those are real nice, too! I saw the VS-XX in 20's over on ClubLexus.com. They're nice! Lexus is supposed to come out with the GS460 in Sept? 370-380HP?

if anybody is thinking of a GS.. wait for the 460
GS460 and some suspension and wheels would be very nice...
