Default CZ Build Thread

Hi guys,

My names Easton, I'm 20, and own a little company called CZ Wheels. This was my previous car, my IS300, it got totaled about 3 weeks ago, and was about to have a new sick setup of Ordens on it that I had built. Well that didn't get to happen, but here is how some of you may remember it:

I'm hopping on a flight to ATL tomorrow, to go pick up my "new" 2003 GS300 which will also be used as a company car and will drive it back to New Orleans.

It's Black, with Saddle interior, 110k on the ODO

Stance will be one of the sponsors on the GS, and coilovers have already been ordered, I believe we'll be going with 15kg/12kg spring rates.

Wheel choice is between a few things. As good as they look, I'm trying to stay away from Ordens and the usual wheels seen on GS's, even though I know it'll be hard to stand out. Thinking about going with step lip 19" Garson Ryugi's or step lip 19" NKB Cups.

As for paint, I'll probably keep it black for the next year or so, and change things up next season or summer.

Also, had a few questions:

Who can I talk to about K-Break aero and ordering it? Does this company also sell other companies high quality kits?

Any difference between GS300/Aristo headlights/taillights?

I'll be updating this thread pretty regularly as I get the car and so on, thanks for following.

update:

well, I picked some wheels up today, i'm trying to decide if I want to keep them or not.

They'll be here in about two weeks, their Veilside Andrew Racing V, they really need refinishing and centercaps, but they'll of course get torn apart and worked on once they get here.

19x10 +14
19x11 +10

Anyone think i'll have fitment trouble at all?

What y'all think?!

Lol, I'm sticking with 19's, 18's put the frame way to low for the car, even it sometimes felt like that on the IS, 19's are for sure.

There will be at least 3-5 diff. setups on the car within the next year probably, just need to figure out what I want to do and how to get my hands on some K-break aero.

DAMN, this is going to be a sick build. Are you going to be focusing on performance at all?
