GSman Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 Dose anybody have a side view pic of a GS300 on 20"s but without a kit or lowered that they can post here or send me? I want to see how it sits, and how much distance is left between the top of the tire and the fender. Thanks
MrSypher Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 Yeah, I have a pic somewhere.... But I can tell you this off the bat, it sits tooo high and looks like crapola....
MrSypher Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 Here you go.. I found some old pics of my GS when I first got it.. Here's a pic of the front wheel with no suspension upgrade...
MrSypher Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 And here's the best I could do with finding a pic of the whole car..
bluelex Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 here is one bad ,as in awful, pic of my car with my old 20's stock height
bluelex Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 another bad pic, no really its bad, i was hiding these but i needed something to laugh about. :D
GSman Posted May 15, 2003 Author Posted May 15, 2003 You guys are right it"s got to come down some. Well I guess I better get some springs/struts soon cause the 20" Lowenhearts are on order. I'm leaning towards the H&R springs. Do they also make struts? If not, Any recommendation on a brand? Thanks, Phil
bluelex Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 l-tuned or . even better than springs ans struts if u could get a coilover suspension.
MrSypher Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 Yeah you can go with some L-Tuned Struts and whatever springs your heart desires.. But you have to also think about what kind of drop you want.. Different springs have different drop.. Oh and BluLex.... What were you thinking posting those pics?? OMG!!! :blushing: Nah, I'm just playing... Believe it or not old car pics are like old pics of yourself, you just want to hide them and hope no one ever gets a hold of them...

E Dawg Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 BLULEX My car is currently on dubs(20's) as well and I want to drop it as well. I am curious as to how much you will drop it. And what all have you decided to change ie struts,springs go to coil over etc?
MrSypher Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 E-Dawg, here's my GS dropped about 2.5-3"sitting on dubs too... But with a drop like this is alittle risky.. I know others that have a drop similar to mine but they rub constantly because their tires are the wrong size or their offset isn't onpoint for that kind of drop.. As for me I never rub.. But for you you may want to go with some L-Tuned struts and some Eibach or H&R springs.. The drop will be just over 1" nothing too crazy....
bluelex Posted May 17, 2003 Posted May 17, 2003 well i prefer coilovers cus u can change u'r mind if u want it lower or higher, i have the tiens cs coilover suspension which comes with shocks but if u know what xact drop u want than get springs, its less xpensive, i haven't recieved my wheels yet, they should b here later on this month, (i hope) but i will b somewhere on the lines of sypher's drop around 2.5 inches, i like it low and i got the correct offset and tires size to withstand that kind of drop. u might what 2 check what off set and tire size u have , it will help u'r decision on what drop 2 go 4. eibach is one inch h&r says 1.25 inches but i doubt .25 inches more will b that noticable i think l-sportline's springs drop is 1.75 inches
E Dawg Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 Thanx BluLex and MrSypher for the input. I will check the offset and all. I think I will go with coilovers that way I can adjust it as I see fit. Appreciate the help.

E Dawg Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 Bluelex I was curious to know if you got your new rims yet? <_< If so lets see some pics :D P.S nice sound system looks costly did it take long to do?
scriber Posted September 22, 2005 Posted September 22, 2005 WHAT IS THE OFFSET YOU WENT WITH ON YOUR WHEELS FOR THE 20x10 in the rear and the 20x8.5 in the front..? DOes it rub or did you have to roll the fenders?
