Thumbs up New GS300 owner over here 😝

Sup Team 2Gs , new to the block, any suggestion on first things to do suspension wise to a GS that is very close to 200,000 miles , seem real boat like on the highway , shaky , rotors and brakes are shot all the above , plan on beefing up rim and tire soon enough .. So any suggestions on setting the platform to making this car feel like how it came out the factory in 2000 , thanks team.

Check suspension bushings. Replace if necessary. Replace the brakes(safety first). Test drive.

My opinion is it is kind of boaty at stock height. You may have 200k miles on those struts. Think about your suspension setup before replaing also. You may want coilovers or a spring/strut combo or just struts for stock height.
