(To finish what I started)

Pretty much anything that does not A: Make the car ride like a lumber wagon, B: Increase noise level. I understand that there is always a trade off, but I have one car that is so loud inside that it doesn't have a radio, because you couldn't hear one if it did. I was thinking along the lines of maybe L-Tuned shocks to firm up handling a little, Strut tower braces and a different set of rims. For the engine, a set of headers, if they ever become available.
Opinions?
Thanks
Bill

 

WELCOME BILL

 

hey congrats on the new car

other members with the same color? of course. redgs4 is one of course search for his name

 

Welcome and congrats on a rare find...i've actually never seen that combo in person. Always loved Cinnabar though.

 

But redgs4 is not red/black. I think Bill was asking about the same color combo.

 

and he has headlight washers, eat that you other U.S. GS owners

A Mod you guys cant have

 

oh that exact combo @_@ now i think that's very rare

 

Car would definately look 100 times better lowered, but I had one car that I lowered and swore I would never do that again. In this area, lowered cars take a beating. I was alwo offered a membership in the local Low-Rider club, which I politely declined.

As far as I know, the headlight washers were only offered in cars from Canada?

Thanks for the welcome.
Bill

 

I too was also concerned about lowering my GS. Wanted the lower look, but still wanted nice ride, and not have to worry about dips and bumps( at least every one them). I recently had the L-tuned setup installed, and I couldn't be happier. Looks MUCH, MUCH better(I'm on 18" staggered wheels), and handling is substantially improved with only a SLIGHT increase in firmness. And I know it's slight, because my wife hasn't mentioned it once. Hell she couldn't even tell anything was different except the way it looked from the outside after the install.

So I say go with the L-tuned setup. Then on your car, I think I'd do the Black Chrome badging. Would look SHARP w/your black interior. I'd also look into the blackwood setup for your interior. Now that'd be sweet!!! Oh, and do the K&N intake with an aftermarket exhaust to let everyone know that 430 means V8!!!

Nice, rare color scheme!! Wish I had black interior!

 

I can't find a listing for a K&N Intake for this car. They list one for the GS400, but not the 430. Thought about the SRT intake, but have been told it makes a lot of noise. Know all about the wife situation when it comes to cars. Mine is the same way.

 

Congrats on the purchase. That is a great combo.

 

Welcome to the Cinnabar club! love the combo. please tell me you keep the interior mint.
Personally, i'd do the Daizen sways. that'll firm up the handling very nicely.
also, a slight drop will be a must if you're planning on doing any wheel upgrades.
keep us posted on what you do. car looks great.
-d.

 

I find myself vacuuming it as much as three times per week and wiping down the interior almost daily. Ordered a set of L-Tuned shocks today. I want to the shock tower braces, but will probably build my own. (Have access to a full machine shop)
Later
