Default hi newbie with some basic questions :-)

Hi, just picked up a 01gs430 as a garage mate for the supra.
I know nothing about these cars, but would like to lower it, put rims, an exhaust and some other tidbits on.

1st, i don't want coilovers, just your basic lowering springs. who makes a good set? Eibach? Anything else that needs to be done when lowering one of these cars?

2nd, who makes a nice exhaust that will give the v8 a nice deep tone and rumble?

3rd, i made up my mind on these rims

Does anyone know what kind, size or offset they are? also where can i pick them up from reasonable.

4th and finally, i like the little aero tidbits on this car . Where can I get the spoiler and window shade from?

Thanks so much,
Dave

1. Daizen springs 1.9" f/1.7"r

2. Apexi WS II, Blitz Nur Spec, or Carson Cat-Back

3. Axis Mod Seven Wheels

4. That car has an L-sportline body kit (including L-sportine roof spoiler) minus the rear bumper. You can get these at Carson Toyota or TM Engineering.

Try D2-Autosports.com for the rims/tires I just got my 20's from Derrick who owns D2.. He has a website and is very resonable...This was my very first purchase of rims and what a great person and company to deal with.... Good Luck
