Thanks for all the great comments! I really am excited now that I bought another car and the gs can stay in the garage while it gets it's makeover yes, yes, it gets driven whenever I get a chance.

I'm lowered down on Tein HA's.

Remember what we talked about when I visited. The GS will be nothing less than perfect when I'm done with it...and of course she'll be kept "clean with nice & classic mods" ALWAYS.

I know, I know, you were right on the fitment. When you're throwin' down that kinda $$$ you wanna make fitment is perfect. I tell you what, if you're ever out here in Cali visiting or possibly hitting a meet, hit me up and I'll buy you lunch or something..lol Oh and about the kit, I'll give everyone a hint...it starts with W and ends with D. I'm not saying another word.

later-
Craig

The car looks terrific! I'm usually not a big fan of chrome wheels, but I must say these look killer.
Lovin' the fitment- very similar to what my brother (link 13) has on his '94 (he has 20x10.5 +40 with 285/30-20 on the rear)..

I would stick with the two-tone - very unique and very classy, not often seen on "regular" cars. The very first modified GS I saw (back in about '93) was this exact color combination and had Manaray 3-piece wheels on it. I have loved the first-gen cars ever since! Maybe add a subtle body kit and I would call it a day...

The car sits perfectly - are those the Tanabe springs? How is your camber? My bro has Eibachs and the car already eats front tires with the factory camber setting maxed-out as positive as we can make them. I'd love some feedback on how the tires hold-up!

Keep up the good work!

Bob

Thanks man- I'm dropped a few inches on Tein HA's . The ride is terrific! As far as camber, I haven't noticed any irregular tire wear, but then again I've only had them for a short time. I drove around for probably like 10K miles on the 01' GS stockies and didn't have too much funky wear at all! I'll keep you posted though.
