With dubs you don't need much of a drop to make it look low (1-1.5").

GSonDUBS

which would give me the most comfortable ride, l-tuned, eibach/bilstein, h&r/bilstien?

Since it's a showcar, I'd assume it probably has some sort of coilover setup, but that's just an assumption.

The best overall setup that I have experienced is the Eibach/Bilstein. If affordable for you (I don't know what you have in your pocket), you might consider a coilover setup like Bilstein or Tein.

How would you like your GS to handle? How do you drive the majority of the time?

GSonDUBS

im not really looking to improve performance or lose any performance. i want to keep it feeling as stock as possible while achieving the desired drop.

lexlyf

That's a first. Don't you geet that squishy feel in the suspension when driving over road transitions?

You know, it's at that point when the GS feels like a basketball.

GSonDUBS, I think your best bet would to go with the Tein "FLEX'' Coilovers.... Fully Adjustable...... Height and damping....

And about the most expensive option too.

MrSypher

But the best.........

Hey Syph:

How much is that coilover setup going for these days? Who offers the best price?

futuregs

Steve Ganz does, your looking in the $1300 price range from wut I understand.

MrSypher

Something around those #'s.....
Steve just shipped mine out on Friday.... He can get them with no prob.... Those were the easiest parts I ever got from him. Send him a PM..... "SUPRATRD"

That guy probably has H & R Springs. I'd go with L-Tuned springs and shocks. I couldn't ask for a nicer ride.

Manaray

"that guy" is AutoCouture...that's AutoCouture's show car in Japan and I KNOW it doesn't have H&R springs...and H&R springs will NOT give you that low of a ride. H&R coilovers will only now give you that low of a ride because they just released some new rear springs for the coilovers that lowers the rear end another inch (I know because I have them sitting right here in my house.)

The best bet is with the Tein FLEX. $1300 for quality coilovers is a smoking deal. Height adjustable so you NEVER have to settle for what the manufacturer "thinks" is low enough. Springs/shocks will NOT get you that low unless you cut your springs...which is 110% GHETTO.

What kind of cost are you looking at to install the Tien FLEX coilovers? Can I just order them through Steve and have them installed at a reputable chain wheel shop?
