Default Ordered some new toys for the GS

Okay,
I told myself I was not going to get anything else for GS. However, with the warmer spring time temperatures this past week I knew something was in the air.

I took the car cover off the GS and woke the beast up from its long winter break. I drove it pretty seriously this past week trying to gauge it's limits. I still felt that the rear of the car felt to loose for me.

Easy remedy for this....order more suspension parts.

Here is what I am expecting delivery of in the next few days:

Tom's rear STB
Tom's 6-piece link
Tom's rear chassis brace

I already have the TEIN flex coils, TRD lower chassis brace, TRD front and rear sway bars. Toms STB.

If I am correct, I think i will have every possible suspension part upgrade made for the GS.

WATCH OUT M5 HERE I COME

NICE!! All you need is the TOM'S Front LCB to replace the TRD one...that way, you have it ALL.

BMW M5? Why have such low goals? Think Porsche 996/911...

Drew,

Stop messing with your suspension and get some 275 rubber in the rear. That should tighten things up a bit in the twisties.
