Rims/Suspension
Hi,
I have 19' Rims and am thinking of putting them back on (I took them off two months ago because I got really tired of the crappy ride
to the custom 16's the car came with) with new fresh tires and lowering it however I simplily do not have 1500 to spent on the coilovers right now so how much are shocks/springs and which kind would work best? should i get both?
Rims Specs: 19' Chrome Diablo's with Bridgestone SO3's [245 40 19] {Fat Setup}. Offset is 42 and it is 19x8 all around.
Thanks

Now all I need is to save up for the tires (another $1200 
)Its perfect though.. got my tax return yesterday right on my 19th b-day
along with some cash from the parents.Even if I decide to not use the 19' rims will they work good with chrome 16' rims?

NoS you should get a hold of darrell at sewell he had a GB not too long ago and the set was for about 300 + shipping. I don't think he will give it to you at that price but doesn't hurt to try

Here they are: http://www.autocarparts.com/part/1231/14
Will these fit the GS300?
