Here is a pic of the car with the wheels.
I am considering the Megan springs cause the price is right. The drop is a little more than I wanted but after seeing your pics the drop looks perfect. Your GS looks mighty clean. How long have you been riding on the Megan springs? Do you recommend them? Also, Are you experiencing any rubbing and are your fenders rolled? Thanks, any info is much appreciated.

I'm fairly pleased with the springs. I have had some rubbing issues but they weren't terrible to deal with. I tried rolling the fender in the rear (it'd only a 1" section thats a problem) but I did't like the way the fender well trim looked when it was finished. So I rolled it back and I ended up trimming the problem area away with a body saw (A small air saw). It seems to have solved the problem. Keep in mind I'm running a 20" wheel that's 10" wide in the rear so if you're running a smaller wheel you'll probably be ok. As far as the ride goes I'm pretty pleased, plus it's got a good look to it.

Thanks! I am running 20x10 in the rear also. Even with stock springs I get little rub when there is extra weight in the backseats or trunk. I plan on rolling the fenders and lowering. I was considering Tanabe NF210 with a 1.3 front/.9 rear drop but the Megan drop looks great and about a $100 cheaper.
