Fresh Ride
Hey everyone,
Just joined the forum, and thought I'd introduce myself while representing the GS in Australia.
Just bought a '99 GS300 after I wrote off my Camry and I'm pretty keen to make it my own. Feels like I'm a bit late to the party though. It's got 180,000 km/ 111,846 miles on it and compared to the Camry it drives like a dream.
The first mod is already down. De-badged the rear this morning.
Here's some pics.
If anyone has any suggestions on what should be on top of the modification priority list, lets hear it. Any tips for a newbie would be appreciated as well.
Glad to be here. Thanks

Nice step up from the Camry. +1 ball joints, would also consider front lower rear arm. Poly steering rack bushings also a must. Enjoy the car you will soon be addicted to GS.

Thanks for the welcome guys.
Lowering is definitely at the top of the list. I am thinking coils over springs as I do have the cash for it, however would they be overkill considering this will be my daily driver? I wouldn't mind springs, being a lot cheaper, but I get the impression that they just wont be low enough.
