Thanks for that though it helped even more.

BTW were you lowered at all in that photo chrispy?
I wish I had more pics but I don't.

I bought the car on L-Tuned springs and shocks. I think it was like an inch drop.

is the chrome removable on these rims? can someone photoshop these wheels on a gold GS?

also, are the LS wheels a direct bolt on on the GS?

What spring rates did you get? How's the ride? Choppy, smooth, etc

I deviated from the standard and got the softer 8/6k.
At first, the ride was bouncy. Felt like I was on cut springs.

Maybe the springs needed to settle/break-in? Now, they are alot better , I'm still messing with the dampening rates.
Wish I had more spring travel since the coils are so close together now (maybe i'll try replacing them with Swift springs?)
On decent sized cracks or small potholes, I feel like they are hitting the bumpstops. Highway driving is nice

Either way, they are better than my blown shock(s) I had previously.

Would I do it again? Tough question.. at this point, I would have to say no.
I say this only because I only wanted a mild drop. Wanted to go with aftermarket springs/shocks but figured for the price I paid and ease of installation, coilovers were my best option

Do these wheels clear LS400 front BBK without spacers on the 2GS?

I don't think so. If the LS400 BBK caliper is about the same dimensions as the Supra TT BBK, I think you will need to run at least a 5mm spacer.
