Hell yeah, I want to see pics as well....pretty similar to what we're doing...tanabe's with 18x8.5 18x9.5 HP EVO wheels....should look pretty close to what we can expect. Oh, and congratulations.

hahhaa........yes i am back jmai22!!! and this time it will be better than my old 96 gs300...
yeah, we gotta hang out again.......pm me yr contact nbr...


guys, i was skeptical about the RSR spring but they look great with 19's..
i am pretty sure it will get lower until it settles. i want to thank (i forgot who it was) for
selling me the springs....it was a good buy and good looking out !!!

since my sc300 is pretty much done (well, not really) modding, i want to focus on the gs300 more espclly the exterior. i plan on putting exhaust, body kit, sounds, etc...
car has about 151,000 and still drives well. i got an extra motor (from my sc300) with 142,000 that i think it's much better condition and as a back up in case something goes wrong with the engine. i dont plan installing force induction or anything like that. the gs will be my daily driver.

the car is missing some reflectors in the rear bumper....hahhaha....(dont laugh).....

Default looks great

i lowered mine with RSR too, but my car doesn't have gap like your car. maybe bad installation? i'm scarping botton on ramps and over speed bumps.

i don't have 19" wheels, so i should have more gap....
