I would recommend TEIN CS coilovers for a good drop and a great ride...Also this site may help answer questions and further your interest in VIPstyled cars..

With the Tein CS, they will not drop low enought for your VIP tastes, however, the Flex and HA will drop very low.


The flex is your best bet because they are the softest of the Tein's that will drop that low, and you can adjust the stiffness to your liking.

You cant drop that low with the CS. U can go low with the Flex but the ride is harsh. I have the HKS LS+ u can have both. Soft stock like ride and the ability to tuck. Let me dig up some pics of Jokos ride. Hes got them too.

Do you plan on dropping your car more than 2.5 inches??what size wheels do you plan on running??these are things you should consider when planning on buying coilovers...

Actually Gamma, I was suprised that the Flex is not rough at all when it is that low. I found it is very close to stock ride..

Will you consider the $3K+- air suspension from Japan? It will sure drop your GS to the ground, but very pricy

Here is a pic of a GS dropped pretty low on TEIN CS coilovers and 19's..I feel that this pic proves that you can still get a good drop and a great ride..

Bluelex is another example of how low of a drop you can get with the TEIN CS..
