Default Safe Drops and Rims

It's probably been covered hundreds of times but what is the best way to lower the GS and what are the biggest rims I can put on it?

I was thinking of Tein lowering springs with 20" and 35 sidewall, and of course a camber kit. Has anyone tryed this setup, were there any rubbing issues etc.

I appreciate any advice. I want to properly informed before I make any major decisions.

Thanks again.

Background:

I've won the lowriders competition in 2002 at world of wheels with my 99 Prelude TypeSH which had everything done to it. Afterwards I bought a 02 Celica GTS and used coilovers, and vowed never to again because the ride was so stiff.
Currently I have a 94 LS400, and it just isn't my style so I'm about to sell it and buy a 99 GS300.

alot of opinions on here lately, but for ride quality, Tein CS coilovers are what folks have done. I did springs on my 430 but am changing out to coils now due to the ride and height adjustment. 19's or 20's seem to be what folks are doing, with 19's and the right adjustment, there shouldnt be rubbing, with 20's, I hear you'll get rubbing with the wheel turned to the extreme.

Camber kit? hmmmm... that's a whole story of it's own, looks like we may never see one for the GS

There are no camber kits for the GS!! That's crazy.
