Wim And Gs300

[TigerFish]

I've read a huge amount of posts regarding geometry setups on the IS200 and WIM rectifiying various issues with the standard setup. My question is wether this is also an issue on the MK1 GS300, and more specifically when it is modded at all? I have a GS300 Sport, unfortunately the previous owner had the springs replaced with non-sport springs due to the entry of his driveway. I will be fitting lowered springs soon once they have arrived from Japan and would like to know if a visit to the Dr is required? Are the GS300 geometry specs suspect as well?

Historically the GS has a stable chassis and needs little attention from wim. Any modification to the suspension of wheels would need attention, so you need to be wise.

The issues you read regarding the IS200/300/sc is the fact that Lexus wrote the wrong calibration positions, hence the volume of complaints regarding tyre wear and handling.

Thanks.

When you say "be wise", do you mean getting the geo reset or are there some other pitfalls I should be aware of?

Sorry by wise i do mean have the Geometry re-set... Out of interest are you lowering the car below the stock suspension height?

Thanks for that.

It should go back down to the level that the Sport model was before the previous owner raised it back up. I believe this is a 25mm drop all round over the standard (non Sport model) height.

That's good.... All you need then is the calibration positions returned to the stock settings.

If you went below the stock height then the calibration positions need to be manufactured.

Sounds expensive
