Dude props to you for logging all these videos. I was waiting for you to post this one! I have a white 2016 GSF just like yours... except w/red interior. I've spoken with Lou about the prod and you're right, he's is pretty knowledgeable as he has a GSF as well. The stock ride is really rough and I was looking as to how I could smooth it out. Great to see the mod you did seems to have done the trick. I'll be following in your footsteps in a few months with this upgrade. Keep on posting!
Thank you man. I totally agree with you about the ride. The stock suspension is very stiff. When you go over bumps it’s it feels crashy. I noticed the smoothness of the coils as soon at I went over my first speed bump and man hole cover. It just absorbed it and was smooth. Love these coils so far. Lou is awesome. Great guy.
Great video guys I loved how detailed it was and showed all the effort you put in
You guys are a force!! The car does look way better than stock love it, you got me thinking I wanna do that to my car, thank you and keep up the awesome videos. 👊🏼
Thanks bro. If u have a 2016 I say it's a must do. The stock suspension is so bad on the car.
Thank you so much for the detailed and inspiring video and tech tips on this CKS install, just put these on a GS350 base 4th gen, swift 12/10 with TOMs front strut bar and trunk bar. Dropped an inch in front and .7 in rear. Its a bit of work no doubt especially the rears to get the perch springs out, after that its pretty straight forward. A big shoutout to Steven at MIJ as well.
Just purchased myself a 4th gen gs350 RWD, where did you get your CKS coils from?
Absolutely gorgeous! Now you got me thinking about this. The stock ride on NYC roads is breaking my back.
Imagine this car with air suspension
If u want a softer ride then stock these coils are amazing. I’m sure air would be even smoother
Great video! Very informative.
Really nice informational video man 👌 I'm doing a little research bc I'll be installing RSR Besti Active coils on my '19 GSFSport after they arrive this weekend and I feel alot more confident after watching your videos - keep up the great work! Subscribed! 👍👍🙏
Thank you for subscribing!!! 🙏 the install is super easy!! The front is so so easy!! Rear is not bad either.
@@BulletsGarage do you know if the GS FSport setup is pretty similar to yours? Besides the AVS stuff, I'm guessing it's pretty much the same?
Exactly the same besides the avs
Good video. I like the weight savings you guys highlighted.
Thank you.
Fantastic video. Thank you for doing this.
No problem. Glad you enjoyed.
Great job dude, The car is sweet ..
Almost 400 subbed bro, slowly but surely the Channel is growing 👍
Hell yea man almost 400 exciting stuff. Gotta get the real goal of 1000
Bullets Garage yes sir, you'll get there...
Slow n steady wins the race
Bullets Garage yep lol
Awesome video! I really like what you did so far on your GSF! Also the black wrap on the front vent fenders. I like the stance... front lip anytime soon?
Thanks 🙏🏼
Yes front lip and side skirts are next. Video coming next week when they arrive
Are those 15mm spacers? How many turns are you getting on the lug nuts? I thought 10mm was the most I could put on safely.
nice content man
Thank you bro. Please subscribe
Sick job brother. If i could suggest a mod maybe you could wrap that part of the fender where the f logo is black. I have seen it in some gs f models and it does look nice. Enjoy :)
That’s the next thing I’m gonna do after I get the car paint corrected
Great content. Your brother's comments are very informative. What was the final measurement for the front?
Bottom wheel lip to fender are now at 23.5. I went lower
I got lexus gs f sport 2018 I want to get coliver can u show me the part number pls
Машина устойчиво заходит в повороты на большой скорости ?
It's crazy because I have a GS350 F sport now in white and never liked white. And I want a GSF next year but in grey. Your white one is pretty nice.
Thank you. In this video it’s very dirty tho. Dusty and not washed for 2 weeks. Imagine clean and on a sunny day. It’s so nice.
Bullets Garage lol mine is white too.
Nice best color
Bullets Garage idk, I love grey. The nebula pearl gray I think that's what it's called. Now that is my favorite color on our cars.
That one is sexy also. But I'm a big fan of. The ultra white
Great video and channel! I’ve got a 2018 GS350 F Sport AWD. I just ordered the CKS coilover setup. What did you do with the front shocker absorber sensors?
My GSF doesn’t have shock sensors. So I didn’t have to deal with that
I also have the 2018 GS 350 F sport RWD how can this improve my ride?
It will make it smoother less harsh
@@petersiekiera4772 I didn't...Had to return the coil over setup. It was not compatible.
Awesome video man. My gs350 struts just blew @40k miles. Do you recommend coilovers upgrade?
I definitely recommend coils
Really helpful vid Thx..I got an inquiry regarding the camber kit (SPC). Did you need to install it after the installation of the coil overs and completing the alignment. If so, did you also need to install the front camber kit and which one did you use since I did not see it on the SPC site.
I did the spc rear camber Arms later on and then aligned it. No need for front camber in my case
Really appreciate the reply..I am installing my coilovers next spring will see if I need the rear camber kit and see if the front is needed as well.
My GS350 F Sport’s suspension is upgraded with TEIN AVS coil overs. 😇😇😇
K-Star12 how did you handle the electronics connected at the top of the factory shock?
Michael Stewart basically there’s a plug-in play on top so can simply disconnect, install, adjust and reconnect.
Could someone help out with getting the right coilovers to get for my 2007 GS 350
Did you have to install the aftermarket rear camber arms to get it to spec when lowering just to 24 inches (bottom wheel lip to fender)? I installed the coilovers this weekend and wanted to know how low I can go without needing to install the camber arms.
You don’t have to, but it helps ensure alignment better
that is sitting perfect
It's lower now
@@BulletsGarage did u get an exhaust yet?
So how much of a hassle was it to remove all of the lining from the trunk? how long did it take? For some reason I'm more concerned about that than actually swapping shocks.
bill winter it was not terrible. All the small clips are the only annoying thing. I recommend getting the tool that helps pull those out and a small kit of those plugs Incase you break one.
Did you run into any computer issues or check engine lights because of the coil overs? I heard that you might get a check engine light due to lower the car.
No that's not true. No issues
I've a 2013 gsf and senior on the top of the shock,, this wouldn't work for my car right??
No it wouldn’t cuz u have active suspension. But message Lou from modinjapan.com
@@BulletsGarage I did send him a message two days ago and he did not respond to me yet
Fb message him
Never put your foot under the car while you are working on it !!!! Safety first bro. I have a 2014 LS460L and I can’t even do that many mods Because it’s a yaht lol
What were your final measurements on the coilovers for your height adjustment?
Bottom of rim to fender front is 23 3/8 rear is 24.5 from bottom of rim to fender
Bullets Garage thanks. I was wondering what the measurements were on the coilovers? The front was like 114.75 but you never mentioned the rear.
Yeah bullet what were the ending measurements you decided to go with please?
It's hard to say cuz it all depends how low u want ur car to be.
I'm at bottom of rim to fender front 23 1/4 and rear 24
What front license plate holder do you have? I need one!

Thanks, you da man!!
No problem man
What kind of exhaust kit do you have?
This set up was a custom muffler delete that I'm actually selling
So this is better than my factory shock? So this is going to help my car feel less shocks?
Yes stock suspension is very harsh.
Bullets Garage lol my GS 350 is going to be like your GSF in a couple years
Did this have spacers?
Yes
love the car i am planning on getting one my self but ive heard you cant fully turn the traction control off say like to do a brake stand is that true or is there a way around it
It’s true there is no way to do a brake stand. The car will do a burnout when u stop in it. It will smoke me up. Check out my other video at the end u can see I did a small burnout. But don’t let that small thing stop u from getting the car
Bullets Garage thank you for the reply so no brake stands but it will let u do donuts?
Yea donuts u can do all day long.
thank you wanted an honest opinion and u delivered awesome car btw
Thank you. 👍🏼
What was the price for these coilovers?

Czes jestem z Chicago tez mysle o takim aucie miales jakies problemy z tym samochodem moze ?
The car is amazing no issues at all with it.
great im in Monton Grove thinking about selling my 2013 5.0 and wanna get something with 4 doors just dont trust used germans lol too bad its winter i would like to check out ur car nice car thanx for the reply
Germans are nice. But expensive and service is gonna be more expensive. Gsf is a beast and very reliable
@@BulletsGarage true im struggling between GSF and 2017 CTS-V but the 8 speed in the V has some problems
If you have the funds for a ctsV then get the ctsv!!! U will love it!! And the 8 speed is not bad at all in the Cadillac. It shares the same transmission as the corevette
How much money the shocks cost?
The coil overs or 2300
How the ride quality?
So great!!!
did you add spacers?
Yes I did. I have a spacer video
Bullets Garage cool, thanks i will check it out
Nice video! But one thing you said caught my attention.. "This car rides much smoother and softer than stock". Isn't this the opposite result you want when installing coilovers? I usually upgrade to coilovers because I want more of a stiff and not smooth ("bumpy/sporty)" ride versus smooth and "bouncy/soft".
The stock GSF suspension is harsh and bumpy and way to hard for normal streets. I hated it. With the coils it rides how I like it. And I can always change the dampening to stiff if I want a stiffer ride.
Rim and tire specs? 🤔
These are oem wheels 19s
Those coilovers looks easier to install on that Lexus then my rusted Subaru 😂
So easy. But rust makes any job harder
Bullets Garage yup I upgraded from my wrx to a is350 it was worth the upgrade and watching your video made it look easier to actually install coils 🤙
Good upgrade man. Is350 is sexy looking car
Since you have had them on for while how do they ride? Are they comfortable for daily driving?
They are more comfortable then stock suspension!!! The ride is 10000x better then stock. I love them.
18:00 - :05 , 2 heads better than one
Always lol
