Default GS owners that are static..questions

Well I'm looking at dropping the gs4 soon. I want opinions on what you are running and how u like it. Maybe a test ride in it? Lol the sc3 had jic and it rode nice. The 240 had ksports and the girl hated the ride. So I want to keep the nice luxury ride yet still be suitably lowered. I seen a set of Megan's for sale on cl so I was debating on grabbing those. Also I'll be rolling on 20's.

Thank you

she did not like the ride probably bcs of the car (240sx, had bunch of them before) not really bcs of the coil, though it does help having nice coils. coils are really nice, ride low, from almost stock comfort to stiff. personally, id go with 18-19s. pic of your ride?

Sorry no pics ATM. Just a stock alpine silver gs4 with some 18's. I think 18's are to small for the big body gs. I had 19's on my sc3 n liked it but I wanna go 20's with his car. How is the ride on your tein ss? Can I go for a ride? Lol. I had many coilovers for many different cars from Honda, Lexus, Toyota, BMW, n nissans. From teins, hks, ksports, jic, stance.
I read up in the gs forums on the different suspension n reviews but I would like to just a get a feel before I purchase lol. And my girl is 4 months pregnant so gotta be smooth for her until I can go air ride. For now, coils then adding a cup kit also

I also have tein SS, frick i feel like my twin car is revive. It runs real smooth. People are surprised riding in my car, some 240 people as well. They compliment it to stock cars (maybe not stock luxury) and how my ride height and comfortably doesnt add up lol.

Save up for air... No sense in purchasing coilovers then switching to air later down the road... I bought coils at first, then converted to air runners... Couldve saved myself $1400.00... Lesson learned...

i got BC Racing coils with custom spring rates of 12K in fronts and 8K in the rears. The ride is AWESOME!! NO JOKE, it feels jus like STOCK, but BETTER!! im also running 20's! i think u can go for a lil more stiffer spring rate, without sacrificing comfort!
i was told BC Racing makes Megans. Even though BC Racing are a few hundred dollars more, it does have a BIGGER piston and the option of custom spring rates FOR FREE!!! "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!"
