I was hopping someone can help me figure out what springs to put on my GS 430 i currently have 19s and staggered and i want it lowered but not slammed and pictures would help to see what different spring your running on

hey bro, I was going to ask the same question! haha! There are so many different types of mfr's out there: Tein, H&R, Eibach, Tanabe, etc.

Can anyone provide, for these types and other spring mfr's: ride comfort info, measurement of drop, any other comments?

19s staggered with Eibach/Bilstein combo. Ride quality is good and I think it dropped the car around an inch or a hair more. I know someone out there will have the exact info. I like it because the price was right (bought it used - thanks Cliffud), but Tein CS would be my suspension of choice so I can drop it a little more and have great ride quality.

tannabe df210 2 in front and 1.5 in back. i realy hate gaps and most springs do an even drop. these springs leave no gap and i don't have any problems rubbing with 20's

Hey GS Fonzy, do u have a pic or two of yours and how much $$ did you shell out for it. I have 18''s right now not lowered and was told by someone that if I installed Eibach springs it'll lower my car about 1 1/2". I notice that with my car, the gap in the front is slightly larger than in the rear. Dunno if it's with my car only or it's just common for all GS's.

sorry, it's 2 in front and 1.5 in back. yes, it's common for cars to have bigger wheel well in front. if you do that 1.5 all around you will most likely have a gap on the front. i am @n@l about gaps on my cars, so i looked around for diffrnt spings, diffrent companies and finnaly decided to go with the df210 for gs 400/430 and i am very happy with the outcome. they were 200 or 250 can't remember.

Any More Pictures

Hey GS Fonzy how wide are your 20's in the rear, I wanted to go lower but I have 10in wide 38+ offset 20s in the rear and dont want the tires to rub, I already had the fender rolled. Im looking for a deeper drop, I have the Bilstein/NF210 springs and the ride is a litte to soft and high for me....any problems with your ride/height ???

not right now, i have a 255/35/20 on a 10.5 rim and the tire bearly clears the fender. i want to get a 275 back there, but i have to shave my fenders. you should have no problem going lower. just to test, open your trunk and have 2 of your biggest friends sit on the car, that should get the car low enough to see if you will have rubbing issues.

I think I've seen a bit cheaper regardless I'll probably go with those. Since I don't have the proper tools nor experience, I'll have to spend more $$$ for labor costs when it's installed.

shop around, because going by the book price can be expensive. i got lucky and had one of the mechanics from my dad's shop do mine. i gave him like $100, but i think normal is no less than $300

That's a nice drop on the on you lex
