I get in depth explaining my experience with lowering my awd Lexus GS350, as most know there are issues associated with it specifically vibration issues. I also show driving scenes showing how the car is behaving.

I like the look. I have awd so i am afraid to lower it at all and end up having to fix any suspension stuff.

Got it… yes I was scared too but I only decided to go that route after the stock suspension started to leak. If I ever do run into issues I will post them. So far she so solid.

I had an 08 gs350 awd lowered on d2 coilovers. The axels are shorter on the awd models that’s why we get vibrations when lowered. U can make a set of quarter inch lower motor mount spacers it helps but doesn’t get ride of all vibrations.

Got it thanks for the information. So far I don’t have any vibrations 2 months in and still good. I only lowered it by an inch but also went with a 18” wheel maybe that’s why it doesn’t vibrate not sure but car is good no vibrations at all.

That’s good. It definitely helps not having an aggressive drop. Before getting ride of my 3GS I adjusted the coils to mild drop it helped so much. Honestly after the experience I’m scared to lower my 4gs 😂

The lowering problem affects only the AWD platform, BUT mine does not vibrate. Reason I made the video to explain maybe what I did right not to vibrate. Mine is only lowered an inch maybe an inch and a half give and take. Car is smooth no vibrations.

Looks great bro, what coilovers are you on right now? How’s the ride quality compare to OEM? Planning to lower my AWD GS just want some opinions.

Much appreciate it bro. Yes I went with Tru Hart coilovers street/track, they are honestly not bad smooth on the hwys. Ride is ofcourse slightly stiffer than before but handling has improved tremendously. I can take corners at much more higher speeds and car is planted to the ground. This cars are notorious for vibration while lowered from what I hear from other ppl but mine does not do that. Maybe is because I only lowered it by an inch.

Did you try balancing your tires with road force? maybe that'll make the ride smoother.

Actually I did at the shop that installed the coil overs. It’s just that the coil overs I have can be used for track/ street use. She is not smooth like butter like the stock suspension but not that bad for coils either.

I actually got them from Amazon ( Capitauto ) but I made sure I placed year and make model. Yes at first I didn’t like them the first week but they settled down well with the shape of the original seat. I might get the rear soon.

Beautiful car. What front lip is that? Also what brand of wheels are those?

Much appreciate it. It’s an Ikon Motorsports VTX style, got it from Amazon, it comes black but had it painted matched locally. Wheels are from a 2015+ Subaru WRX STi, unfortunately they do not clear hub so I had to get some work done to make them clear the hub. Don’t necessarily recommend it but I wanted an oem + look on the car.

Hey. Are you looking at your car temperature gauge. It's very high. You might have a blown head gasket or overheating transmission.

@@GroupBEJ25 Yeah, mine always stays at the middle, thats why I noticed it. You should check your coolant levels, if it is low then it is probably leaking coolant and a blown head gasket.

@@pasm8917 yea dude nothing wrong with my car. Normal operating temperature I get it if goes above the middle but that’s where it staying. Coolant level is good as well no weird smells either such as coolant leaks etc. Just drove it on heavy traffic with AC on no issues.
