hello clublexus, i have a 2003 millennium silver gs300. i bought it at about 103k miles, in pretty decent shape. i have owned it since november 2013, so not very long and i am still very new to the lexus game. long story short i used to own a 2000 integra gsr but it was stolen in october of 2013, so thats when i had to call it quits with hondas and jump into a new scene i didnt know very much about. so far the gs has been good to me, no big problems other than the little nick nacks. i never really made a thread for my integra and i kind of regret it, anyways i hope everyone can enjoy my new build


heres a few pics of my honda days, and then off to what i have now

and now off to the gs

when i first got her


a couple weeks later i ordered bc racing coils with 18k front and 16k spring rates


first initial height, and then i proceeded to lower it more










greddy replica front lip, fit pretty well...


very first set of work wheels, i ordered work cr kai kiwamis from 88 rotors sized at 19x9.5 +25 front and 19x10.5 +22 rear




















ordered moogs to replace these original 103k oem lbj's, also got the studio camber rca's


installed them but the wheels were too aggressive after the rca install








traded the cr kais for te37's and got my admiration and greddy lip kit on to fit

the te's are now 19x9.5 +34 and 19x10.5 +34, with the new higher offset fronts i should be able to get the right fitment in the front with the rca installed


i just ordered the rear upper control arms and got spacers to compensate for the higher offset


i should have time to install everything next week, but thats pretty much it for now, i wanted to do a really sporty build while i am static and im planning to go more towards the vip style build after i save up for air

Made me want to go and buy an Integra and do a JDM headlight conversion Really like what you did with it!!

Also, where'd you find the rear arms for the GS from? They look similar to the TCS ones for the IS but I could be mistaken...

I thought BCR coils can't get you 'any' drop at all.
What set is it?

How much camber did you have in the rear with those Works and is it achieved with just OE arms?
Shaved and pulled or just shaved rears?

Alot of questions. I like the current setup.

BCs can go low if you get the Extreme Drop setup... you just have to ask the merchant when ordering them.

There are only a few hondas i can actually admire and dayumm! Yours my friend is one of them.

I definitely like the direction your going with the car. The new rims look waayyy betta.\
I look forward into following your progress

Yeah I remember when your stolen Honda pics were surfacing everywhere. Glad you moved onto a lexus. I met your homie Ashton and picked up a buncha his mods from his old is350 last week! Gs is looking good

yeah those were some of my toughest times but i made it through okay, but yeah so far i really love the gs. oh cool, im kind of sad hes selling his car but he just picked up a 911 carrera s..lucky guy haha

tyty! i still really liked the kiwamis but cant beat the timeless te's

i heard from somewhere that they only send out extreme lows now but i could be wrong, i didnt order extreme lows (i happened to forget) but they ended up shipping me extreme lows anyways

theyre the standard ones that go for 1,000 bucks but they are extreme lows,
with the cr kais, it was all stock arms, shaved rears and rolled fronts. camber was maxxed out at -4.6 front and -6.9 rear

yup they are, thank you!

yeah i was really happy with it, and had so much in store for it but off to new things.
and yup those are is300 tcs arms

thank you, so far so good...just not used to extra gas consumption yet haha

ive had the check engine light for p0430 on since my vegas trip around march 30th, today must be my lucky day, the check engine went away on its own...no idea how it happened or why but im happy, might not have to buy a header after all

it could because of an actual bad cat, o2 sensor or an exhaust leak, it doesnt make sense that after this amount of time the cel decided to go away on its own


on another note, my mom just sold her 4runner, and upon research for an es300, i came across this awesome toyota windom. from what ive read so far, they are very reliable and theyre super cheap...big plus its a lexus!
