You can swap out springs and adjust the dampening and make it to your liking and not brake the bank

i have done cut coils on a chevy truck and it felt pretty good once i dialed it in. But Cut coils on a GS though?! nah, coilovers are the perfect setup for the GS to me. Unless you can afford a really nice AirRide system. I have a bagged vehicle too but its a whole different thing. I also had bags on an older truck and hated them. This is just my opinions, but to me affordable and setting that ride height exactly the way you want, coilovers are the way to go.

Um I was wondering if you could tell me what rims that you have on them? Cause they are amazing and what size?
