Default Lowered the GS300 with TEIN SS Coilovers

For the money these coilovers are great!! I lowered mine 2.5 in the front and about 2.2 in the rear. Ride is sooo smooth. I have my dampening setting at 8 from all the way closed and i have to say for about 900 bucks installed they are a steal!!! Pics will follow very soon.

total came out to be 1000 bucks even with taxes, parts, labor, alignment, and 2 x 5mm spacers for my 06 GS wheels that stick in too much.

It's never to late to take pictures...

After that type of drop, what's your alignment at?

I believe with the SS, you can go -3.09 in the front and -2.99 in the rear.

i can go alot lower actually. I was looking at the coils and its pretty much half way a little past half way down. My alignment after the drop was -1.0 in the front and about 1.3 in the rear. My toe is at 0.
