Now that looks perfect! This is the way it should come from the factory. How's the ride quality?

More pics and info please!

Dropped total of 1.75", they are RS-R springs for domestic model GS(Japan), purchased from a auto parts store in osaka( replacement of the TRD springs i paid for almost 4 months ago). They are not DOT approved, so I had a hard time getting thru customs.

I will post more pictures of the complete build when I get her back. Currently having the Wald kit fitted and color match. I will also post sound clips, since afew members are requesting. Over all the wald kit will complete my built(hopefully).

Nice! I deal with Japan from time to time and have been contemplating on ordering springs or waiting on a few more affordable brands to pop up with some coilovers. I cant wait to see the wald kit. I was so close to pulling the trigger, but couldnt do it . Last month when I checked there was only 3 kits left for sale too! With Sema around the corner and doing some last minute stuff to the IS before October 27th (which im still in the process of doing ) I just couldnt do it and had to put the GS project on hold. As soon as Sema and the SF International Auto Show are over, my main focus will be the GS. Hopefully I can get the car atleast 70% done for he summer . If you wouldnt mind can you please send me a PM with a few pictures of the wald kit on the car? I currently have a full wald kit on the IS and I thought it would be cool to kinda match that haha. Your build is kicking off to a great start and cant wait to see the never ending result progress (the mod bug never stops, never lol!!!)

That drop makes such a difference, how do you like the ride quality on the RS-R springs?
