No air suspension here.

My baby is riding on BC Coilovers - V1 Series.

Yeah, you can say the ride is pretty low.

Lower at the front, Slightly higher at the rear.

These are 20" staggered rims with a deep chrome lip. The mesh styling is classic.

How's the ride??? Any wobbling issues? I want to put on aftermarket wheels but from my previous experience, I decided not to.

Due to the fact that the 20" rims are riding on 225/35/20 rubber, the ride is recognizably more harsh compared to the standard rubber.

But the wobbling issues i still haven't come across yet.

Very nice ride! I especially like the rims and drop. It's always neat to see a GS in another part of the world.

I always wondered why the North American market never got the side markers. I know they aren't mandatory on cars here (like how they are in other countries) but all the BMWs and VWs and Audis they sell here have the side markers. Oh well, at least they got it right in 08 and installed turn signals in the mirrors...
