As for the exhaust, when we first started the whole thing was short like 3-5"! They ended up cutting off the muffler from the rear where the piping starts out and adding extentions. Also the flange where the axle back piping attaches to the mid pipes had to be redone in order to fit. The hangers were extra long as well on the muffler, they were cut as well. All of the GREddy piping was used, some of it was extended. Nothing extremely hard to do.
had mine GReddy SE on IS250

But sold them already, before selling the car. =(

So I'll have to buy one more GReddy for my future GS350 =)

Hi guys,
I'm from Perth, Australia, new to GS forums. I'm in the process purchasing a 2006 GS430.

I'm looking into getting a set of 20" wheel for my GS, I got a quote from Job Design for the width and offset, and I was given F9.5J ET+38 R 10.5J ET+35 which is fitted on their show car with rolled guard.

I would like to know if it is possible to go more aggressive to get more dish for the front and rear with just rolled guard? I don't want to cut anything on my car, shave the rear guard or pull the guard. Also, any suggestion for tyre?

Note: Will get a set of air suspension for my GS in the near future.

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your reply/help!!

This car would look sooo much better if those lips were chrome.

I'm curious why you would buy a GS if that's your taste? You do know what it's going to look like?
Let me guess, you're going to slam it so that front fitment will tuck in a little but have extreme camber. I take it this won't be a daily driver?

Default Tanabe or F-Sport Springs

I am hoping to get some advice from the folks here in the forum. I am looking to trade up from my 2003 GS 300 and buy a 2008 or 2009 GS 350.

I am looking for the least amount of drop possible with a comfortable ride. Can anyone tell me which of the springs (Tanabe NF210 or F-Sport) lower the smallest amount or are they about the same?

Also, I am thinking of putting 19 inch wheels on as well. What would be the widest staggered wheel combo I can fit on front/rear with no fender mods and no rubbing?

Thanks in advance.
