just to let you know they used my orig bumper stoppers they say if the car does not bottom out dont worry about it however they can't get my camber right it maxed out on adjustment and nobody makes a camber kit for the gs tomorrow it is going to an alignment specialist who said he can do it you just have to be creative.

tanabe makes a lowering spring that they say will drop 1.25 to 1.50 without changeing the stock ride also you must use there bumper stopper with the springs the ones you want nf210. I will be putting them on my 04 gs within 2 weeks.Search the web you should pay around 250 inc bumper stoppers. email me if you can't find them,leonescu@aol.com

Hi not that I know alot, but what does a tc and valve body kit have to do with fast.

From what I know, a tc has to do with the amount of stall it will produce off the line the more stall the more it slips your converter has around 1600 stall the more stall the more it takes in terms of rpm to make it go from the line. race cars have about 3500 to 4800 stall, tach has to be at that number before it goes or it slips

As far as valve body that is the brain of the trans, a trans has no power just what the engine gives it. you can tighten up the shifts and make them firmer but as far as fast, work on your engine that is where your power is.

Could I get some recommendations on some lowering springs for my '99 GS300? I want a 1.25" to 1.5" drop. I've got 17" wheels. I'm not really too concerned about performance, more about looks at the moment. However, I don't want a decrease in ride quality. I haven't been able to get a solid answer on the L-Tuned springs drop. One person says it's a 1.25" drop and others say an approx. 20mm drop which is less than an inch.

What would you guys recommend for a little over or less than $300? Does anyone have any idea about the typical labor costs?

Thanks.

Does anybody know who sells rear bumper skirts,other than L-tuned at a reasonable price for a 2004 gs300. Thanks

I have a 99 G3 and I am curious to know if anyone has experienced the same sounds that I have.  I heard a clunk sound when i release the accelerator one morning just after getting on the highway.  I haven't had any major problem with my Lex, but I want to know if this may mean the start of a problem.  Also I was wonder if anyone had experienced a slight jerk when the transmission upshifts at very slow speed.  It seem to only occur when it is going from 1st to 2nd.  I am curious to nkow if this is normal or if i need to take immediate action. 

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a 04 gs300 looking to buy ZE friction wheels 18x8 18x9 have you seen these wheels before www.zeforged.com Any comments would help.Thanks sashabeau

go to www,zr1.net/zr1_tires.html if tou cannot find site it is zr1 tire reviews.

I have a 04 gs300, I want to put a new set of wheels 18x8 and 18x9 tire size is245-45-18 and 275-40 -18 will it fit without rubbing,and also will I have other problems I know 245-40-18 and 275-35-18 will work.Just trying to get a little more rubber,and not to harsh a ride Thanks sashabeau.

I own a trans shop. First check trans fluid look at the level also cond it should be on the pink side if not bring to a reliable trans shop have it scaned it should run around 1 hr labor, complete overhaul with 1 year warranty should cost 1600 to 2000 If you like tou can call me at my shop 954- 572- 5480 ask for Richard

I own a trans shop, to me it sounds like a slip check your fluid level also when did you do a trans sevice last. Try this get up a few minutes early and start your car let warm up then try if no slip you might have hard rubber in trans and lip seals in trans may not be sealing right. let me know how you made out.

I am looking for a good used set of oem chrome wheels for my 04 gs300

I am concerned about the ride,and what size can I put on in 18"
