Default Lowering my GS300

Hello, im new to this site. Someone actually drove up to me at a light and told me to check it out! I have a GS300 with 20" Enkie Kapone rims but no other suspention work as of yet. I want to lower my car to fit the wheels to the wheel-well better but the back of my car sits lower on the tire than the front! So an Eibach spring kit will lower it 1" all the way around and H&R will lower it 1.4"F and 1.3"R. My question is that I need to drop it like 1" rear and 1.5-1.75" in the front. How can I do this without buying 2 kits. Do you guyz know of one that can do this! Thanx for your time! Ajax300

Get coilovers. Most are height adjustable so you can customize. Although getting coilovers may cost more than buying 2 springs/shocks kits, you'll be better off in the long run. Just do a search on coilovers and you will get all the info you'll want on the different brands and their pros/cons.

Good luck.

Get coilover man ! I had the H&R springs with bilstein combo for a few months, everything was good but later on I just wanted MORE of a drop. I finally got tein coilover and couldn't be happier. A bit stiffer but I like it that way. So instead of going through 2 steps, buy springs+shocks and later buying coilovers, save yourself some money and buy coilovers the first time around.

Get JDM springs made by TEIN, Espelir, Tanabe, etc. if u dont want to spend the money for coilovers. JDM springs can lower ur car 1.5-2.0in up front.
