Tanabe Df210 Installed On Mkiii Gs300!

[foofighter]

Well got my Tanabe DF210 (Max Lowering) the other day . My neighbor, Bob and his buddy John from Progress Springs came by my garage to help do the install. Actually, they did all the installation, since they've done suspension upteen times. All in all, with their first time doing this proceedure on an 06 GS, it took um 4 hours to complete the job.

Here's a taste of the after, I finished doing a write up on the install process HERE .

Overall, these springs added 15% in spring rate over stock so it's not stiff and bouncy. Ride is very nice. The front drop was a massive 2" and the rears were 1.6" as advertised! Took the car over to Dynamic Auto Service in Midway City and Ted over there (ex-Lexus Tech) took car of me...got it aligned and fixed my AFS flashing light. That was due to the car being lowered too much out of its tolerance I guess, so he did his magic and fixed that. Unfortunately, Lexus like most car makers are cheaping out and didn't include camber adjusts for the front and rear. Sooooo my neighbor Bob will be working on some camber links for the car for his new line of Lexus parts he's working on.

Now I'm just dying for my wheels to arrive, as it just doesnt look right right now.

Thanks again to Bob and John for the time and install :up: :bier:

I know your probably aware. but those stock struts are gonna wear quickly. Looks great though. Maybe some nice coilovers??

Coilovers are not available yet. There is R&D going on, though, so they are on their way.

foofighter,

The drop looks nice. Now, you just need some wheels to better fill out the wheelwell. ;)
