thanks warandcar, appreciate it.

related question, maybe someone knows or an admin can chime in, since I'm a new member, is this 600-800 price range high enough that it will require me to get a voucher to post them for sale? I can't say I know anyone well enough on CL, but certainly the chief admins over at Acurazine.com can vouch for me or if any CL members are members there too. I was an Acurazine Chapter Leader in TX and had many forum member transactions that are still visible on the forum today under my username Austintaper, including buying a car and wheels from a member, along with my sales to others including floor mats, wheels, splash guards, etc.

the spending spree is over for this week...ordered the following over the last few days:

BC Racing coilovers, running 12k/10k spring rates
K3 Projekt F2 wheels, 20/9 & 20/10.5
SPC camber kit
new tires, 245/30 and 275/30

All deliveries coming next week, hopefully installed by this time next week.

To those running 20's, I plan to run about 1-2 finger gap above tire. Do you think I'll need to roll/shave fenders to avoid rubbing or will I be ok? Any other concerns or advice?

Curious, does anyone know the total production #'s for our cars? I was interested to learn how many were produced by color. I did search but didn't find anything.

If anyone knows of a GS that's been totaled and parting out, let me know please. I'm looking for some of the plastic clips for the engine bay circled below, as mine is missing a few. I don't have enough posts yet to post a WTB thread in classified so if anyone runs across any wrecked G's, let me know.

Aside from that, does anyone know if I can pick these up at a local store maybe?

Yes this picture is stock suspension and ride height. I will be lowering it slightly with coilovers on Monday. The previous picture was taken from the K3 Projekt website and was my inspiration for this car.

Quick update, I installed the BC Racing coilovers, SPC arms/ball joints front/rear and new 20x9 & 20x10.5 wheels from The K3 Projekt, a specialty wheel designer in FL.

Next up, caliper/rotor upgrades & F sport sway bar this year and I/h/e next year. Here's a few pics:

Looks clean.

Where did you buy your BC coilovers from? I'm buying a set soon too.

One of the sponsored vendors, JH Auto Racing. They sold me the coils, the SPC camber kit for front and rear, along with a set of new tires. Everything was delivered quickly and correctly.

Hey Doc...INCREIBLE car man! WOW!! its absolutely gorgeous! I'm very jealous yet very happy for you!

Perhaps you could assist me with a train of though im currently dealing with, as you just purchased your GS. As not to improperly take this thread in a wrong direction, I will PM you.

But your car is beautiful! Great choices (color/wheels)!
