do you recommend them yusef? can the stock camber on our cars handle a 1.8" drop? and hows the ride on stock shocks, or would you suggest getting kyb shocks too...?

and to the vendors; how much are you selling these for?

i got the exact ones in the picture the df210s it says 1.8" drop, but it was more like a 2" drop. with stock shocks its not bad actually. well i have 20''s which im taking off because with the 20"s and the drop, the ride is way to stiff. but with smaller wheels the ride if good, its stiff and comfortable. the handling really improved, and before there was this certain part of the freeway where when i would drive over it, my car would bounce like im hittin switches, lol but the springs stopped that...so im happy. ive never had any kyb shocks, ive always had the stock ones so i dont know about that, but i was told to get the shocks too, because the stock ones would get to stressed over time. im not sure how much hes selling, but i saw online for 200 and another website for like 180 i think.

Unfortunately there is no research and development at this time for 1st gen GS coilovers.

WE NEED SWAY BARS ! front and rear. I want an adjustable rear one. What are the chances if we got a few of us together ?

btw: no 1st gen gs4s in the us. Not that that matters
