suspension Q's for '03 GS300
My GS300 has 95K on it with original springs and shocks. I just put new tires on. My vehicle is a daily driver but occaisionally I do some spirited driving.
What would be good replacement shocks that would maintain smooth ride but perhaps help body roll and cornering some?
Should springs be replaced with 95K miles?

I would say try some bilstein sports or HD. A quick search will yield some more info and results but other than the kyb gr-2 (stock replacement) there aren't any other options off the top of my head.
You don't have to replace your springs unless you do lowering springs, then now would be the time to change them. Especially a nice 1" drop, it will keep most of the stock feel but improved cornering and less body roll.

If you're going to replace your shocks you might as well replace your springs. I've always been a fan of the Eibach spring & either KYB or Bilstein HD for a "better than stock" look and feel. With that combo it just rides better and really causes no ill effect.

Thanks....Bilstein HD's seem to be very popular for the upgrade I'm seeking, so I'll go with them. Now I've got to look into Eibach's....a 1" drop would be about the max I'd want.
