Default Newbie here!

Been reading along for a few months now, and just recently joined the club. I didnt realize there was just enthusiasm for the 2GS. I picked up a 98 GS400 in Nov. '07 and love the car. You guys are going to make me spend some money! Hope to get a body kit sometime soon, not sure which one though, and the mirrors with the LED signals. Any mod suggestions would be great; here are a couple of pictures. Sorry don't know how to upload more than one picture at a time.

Being I have a new addition to the family, money isn’t as easily accessible anymore, what set up would you guys recommend for the drop?

Just found a thread under suspension.

Welcome to CL...The proper way is to get a set of DF210s springs or a set of KSport or Megan coilovers. Or keep it gangsta and chop them b'otchs.

Knexx does not condone choppin springs...

welcome to the club....but imo those wheels/tires gotta go sir...even with a drop i think they still wouldn't look good but keep in mind that's just my opinion. funny your front bumper looks like mine in the EXACT same spot...
