Can we get this back on topic?

So only ONE person has GS suspension on their SC? I'd like to hear atleast one other review. The suspension travel and springs rates are VERY different between the GS and SC coilovers specs so it's got to be atleast a little different.

I do apologize for taking your thread off topic,

If you actually read my 1st reply to your question you would have found your answer.

But here I’ll make it easy and spell it out for you...


One of the other members who is or was running a GS suspension is Brah Pitt formerly known as TLW, now the reason why he’s not on the boards as much is bc his beloved SC was totaled a lil while back... also pearlpower has installed gs coilovers on our 430's, but he has sold his car and moved on, occasionally you will find him in the forums but not often.

So in conclusion if you search you might get the answer you are looking for much sooner than posting a new thread.


Oh and don’t expect 15 more owners chiming in telling you that they are running a GS suspension, most of the SC430 owners on this board are still debating on whether or not they should ditch their run flats

If I ditch my run flats what should I get??????? Only kidding!! I can't make up my mind if I want to install the lowering spring that I already have. I do know, that I don't want to go the route of coilovers. GS or other wise. Good luck Loveslexus on your pursuit.

Funny.. That is so true.. I find myself searching very old threads to get info. Nothing like the GS threat.. They just dont make many mods for our cars.

Ok.. back on topic.. I will be going for the (GS) Tein CS. It appears that the spring rates are comparable.

If there are any SC owners here in socal who would like to feel how my car drives with the GS's coils are more than welcome to meet up with me and take it for a drive. but since I have not had any other type of suspension on my car I am probably not the best person to give a review or judge to say which is better.
