Never been a fan of chrome rims but yours came out quite nicely with the color of your car. I guess you can never go wrong with 5 spoke rims. I like it. Get you a nice drop and you good to go.

i dont like chrome either!

the car does look good. erik535353, if your gonna get springs instead of coilovers, just get the Tanabe's. i'd say 80% or more of the 3GS's that are lowered on springs are running those. i had em installed and wanted the better ride, adjustability, and lower stance so i took em off and got coilovers.

i would say save your money for coilovers, but if you must get springs, go with the tanabe's. heres the ride with Tanabe NF210's and stockers. then with coilovers and 20's......

I agree with 07350Frost... save the $ and go for coilovers. I would hate for you to buy springs and later want coilovers instead b/c that would be a waste of $$$...

Bobby, Any sag goin on??
It seems like the Tanabe is the most popular choice , especially for the earlier 06 and 07 GS's because they were some of the first to offer springs for the 3GS. I had tanabe springs on my G35 and they sagged a little as well, but it seems pretty common with older after market springs.

I agree. I did the springs first and hated the sag and the stance wasn't low enough so I did the Tein CST with EDFC and have been very happy .

Looks great. Hopefully you don't have a problem with those Gianelles. My first set cracked but the second has been good since I bought the replacement.
