Default Coilover Options on 05 GS300

So I wanna buy coils for my 05 GS but I'm only in the price range of $800-$1,200. I wanna get coils that will last and are good quality but I don't really know anything about coils. I wanna get my car's stance exactly like this:


What coils can get my stance like that on Vossen 19" CV1's for that price range?

Megan ez coils will drop your car and they're under your budget. BC Racing coils will slam your car as well under 1200 bucks.

I'd recommend the BC Racing coilovers, they'll be the best bang for your buck as far as the $1k kits go. We can customize the kit as well for stance, ride, stiffness, etc.

Hit us up for some info or help getting a set

Default Pbm

You can get Powered By Max VIP coils for 1250. You could lay the frame depending on your rim size. I just picked these up last week, they ride super firm compared to airbags.

I would have gone with PBM just because they look like some buried pirates treasure. But i have been riding on BC's for a few months and have no complaints. They can ride soft like stock or you can dial them in to ride pretty stiff. If you want your car to look like the one with the clown wheels you're going to want to set them up stiffuss*$*
