Default 96 VIP build

Hello everyone, i just purchased my 96 GS300 about 6 months ago and i am getting ready to start purchasing the parts to go VIP. I love the style and look, my history is building Hondas before so i am not 100% familiar with parts for Lexus. I am about to purchase the coilover and rims for my GS, i am thinking about going with Megan Racing or K sport. Which one is a better fit and feel, also i just found a set of 18x10's, what offset do you all recommend to look good. Any help to these questions will be great.

I am currently on Megan lp. And so far they are great. No complaints so far. As for the rims, Im not sure. I had to basically buy 19's with a more conservative offset and eventually put spacers on. I'm basically doing myself the trial and error on my part. Lol.

I would go with Megan over ksport. The older ksports had some issues. I don't know about newer ones though. I'm on Megan ez streets and I have no complaints

Welcome man. I'm rocking Megan LP's. I've had Megan's on my SC400 for about 3 years and it never gave me any problems, and I was slammed all-year round. I've decided to get them again for my GS after my experience with my SC4.
