congrats on the purchase looks great , but please lower it or make it 4x4 for offroad


ltuned susp or eiback/ltuned shocks or coilovers would help a great deal

hit up steve at carson toyota or todd at tm eng great sources for parts and info

Welcomes to CL. The car looks good, but you'll need to drop it down a little bit( I know that you're next mod). Do the search about suspension or look on the suspension section on the GS forum you will find a lot of helpful info about the suspension/spring/coilover.

Pelligrino, congrats... not sure why your pics are squished horizontally which makes your GS look even taller! Here's a before and after 'cosmetic surgery' (stretch) I did on your image.

Welcome to the club! There is way to much info on this forum. You'll find yourself sitting at your computer reading different threads and then realizing that 2 hours just passed by!

Aloha! Welcome to the Club. Yah...dropping it will make it look better. You will have many choices springs/shocks vs. coilovers. Check out the suspension section.

Pelligrino: welcome to the CLub. Your GS looks hot. I always love the white color. All you need to do is Lower your baby and you're set. =)
