I really need to get a build thread going since I have pics of the car and its changes since it was stock, but anyway, here are my most recent pics...

lemme know what you think guys!  aside from wheel comments - they are on their way, had to get the suspension situation settled first! then fitment!  I had 25mm spacers on the rear but since I am not modifying my fenders until my wheels come, I had to take them off so I could dump the rears.

if you guys didn't know, I am on KSport bags over coilovers - if you guys need anything ksport-wise, lemme know and I can point you in the right direction for good pricing on these kits/their other products

wait youre on the new ksport air kit? got any pics of it? i was thinking on swapping out my air kit for a complete ksport kit..

hit me up on PM if you need to.

that ksport kit looks EXACTLY like the air force kits. 

how do you like it?

[QUOTE=airmax;245712]that ksport kit looks EXACTLY like the air force kits.

i thought the airforce kit was the cup kit?  maybe they have another one.

I like the kit a lot so far.  A lot of adjustability, good ride comfort

Nice and low.  It should look great when the new wheels come in.  Did you ever get the alignment today?

[QUOTE=widebody_Q;245715]Nice and low.  It should look great when the new wheels come in.  Did you ever get the alignment today?[/QUOTE]

yeah, i went down to the new 106th street tire and wheel, the one thats not on 106th hahaha.

lol those are exactly the pics i was looking for.. still new to air so i dont know the different ones out there but i discovered the ksport air kit when i was on their site looking for parts.. think my shocks are blown..

just noticed the license plate.. awesome and true!

i like!!! very nice, how much for the air kit? thanks

[QUOTE=excluesiveonez;245714]i thought the airforce kit was the cup kit?  maybe they have another one.

they have both air bag and cup systems. i like the idea of both of them, it looks to me like they are the exact same setups just rebadged. except i think the ksports are alot more expensive than the airforce. but i could be totally wrong.

there msrp is probably higher, but you can get them for a lower

that goes with both systems lol.

glad to see another Black Gs bagged ;P 

gets pretty low on 18s too once kitted and fitment Bawlingg

Nice stance!!!

interesting. those under 4k for the kit?

yup!

Looks good.

nice...whats next...i hope better fitting wheels.

[QUOTE=//935GS400;246323]nice...whats next...i hope better fitting wheels.[/QUOTE]

its sucks because I ordered the wheels about a month before these suspension. still waiting

ehhh i was going to post some teasers, decided against that LOL!  sorry!

eh... why not

Chris, you kiddin me? Post em up, I gotta come down asap and see the car.

I really don't have anything to post until the weekend.   they don't fit at the moment

The shop is backed up, I honestly think it will take 2 weeks but that is still a great turn around time compared to what other shops take. It is going to look insane. Rep for NY and the east ;)

got some new pics from the past weekend

Looks nice

looks good.  How does it ride?

The ride is amazing, something that I was really concerned about when going air and riding on 35 series tires stretched.  It feels better than when I was riding on my 18's with a 40 series tire.  I think it has to do a lot with the air ride.  I'm running the KSport Bag/Coilover combo.  With some minor tweaking (once fender work is done), I will be able to ride around dumped and still retain the same ride quality.

self plug: PM me if these kits interest you, I get awesome pricing!

can't wait to get the fenders done!

Chris... you already know how I feel about your ride playa... :biggthumpup:
 
Hope everything turns out good...

Nice Gs, Looks Hella Clean!!!! East Coast is Killin it

thanks brotha!

check out the KSport special pricing thread on CL (that's me by the way) for KSport Air pricing.

Good for you! Looks nice. I wanted someone in the N.E. To get this kit. Good wheel selection as well!

thanks!

the ksport kit looks great...your car too!

car looks good with the new wheels!are you gonna tuck the rear more?

yeah, looking to ride flush.  i have to take care of the rear fenders tho - thats why you havent seen any pics from the rear

good stuff. show us some pictures as soon as you do that

of course.  wont be till the end of the month though!

hehehe.. somethings brewing

those rims are nice. good pick.

thanks man.. not used by too many

[QUOTE=LiCelsior;260604]hey look..ur in the background..LOL. the wheels look SICK in motion. oh yea check ur wheels just in case.[/QUOTE]

Thanks Joe, that's one of the only things I wish I could do.  See the ride in motion.  Check for bends/scratches?  nah,  i didn't hit anything big.  which wheel in particular should i check on?

stole another from chrIS

From the rear looks great , from the side hard to love the tuck , haha I had that look and kept changing all the time until the poke got me 


Congrats on the come up

i'm feeling the poke, just not on my ride.  With the poke, I wouldn't be able to drive low enough.  At ride hieght, I ride right at the lip, it looks like I will hit until I dump it.

looks good - makes me wanna get a gs when i see stuff like this :)

looks dope!

thanks guys!

Chris you know how i feel already....the car is dope:biggthumpup:

thanks man... we gonna kill it today/tomorrow

maybe i'll start thinking about moving myself out of vip101

yup same here lol

some updates:

little exhaust installed....  i understand it's not the most vip thing and that I can probably think about raising up the pipes, but aside from that. let me know!

You know this Car is ILL!! How Close is your Exhaust to the Ground?

nice come up on da hks...

clean

[QUOTE=DirtyJerzey;276337]You know this Car is ILL!! How Close is your Exhaust to the Ground?[/QUOTE]
At full dump, I have about 1/2 inch or so from the can to the floor.  I scraped a couple of times so far.

[QUOTE=GS300ToM;276370]nice come up on da hks...[/QUOTE]
thanks.  I took a chance with it, got lucky.

[QUOTE=gs guy;276381]clean[/QUOTE]
word thanks

Looks great.

Personally would've gone with deep dish wheels, but looks great nevertheless.

How do you like the exhaust?

Looks good and I just noticed NY allows you 8 charaters on your plates - we only get 7 in Cali. GS is clean man.

im envious, i love the stepped lip

Pics no worky for me :(

Thanks again guys.  It's 11:50 here and I'm about to take the car out just to enjoy the exhaust note!
And not sure how much deeper you want the rear to go w/ 5 inches of lip, stepped.  Front's were not done in big lip mistakenly, but I'm loving the look.

The best body work is the kind that goes unnoticed

How about that one bolt from the compressor tank that decided to launch itself. I think I was hallucinating due to lack of sleep from staying up at night but I sworn I had my life flash before my eyes lol. Funny how we were all looking for the bolt and it actually was just chilling in your trunk before the compressor.

yeah that actually sucked a lot LOL

Your car its on a point that makes me wanna take it off from you. ;)

wats next on the come up?? lol

[QUOTE=VIPy33;286033]Your car its on a point that makes me wanna take it off from you. ;)[/QUOTE]

Any offer is more than welcome.

[QUOTE=GS300ToM;286161]wats next on the come up?? lol[/QUOTE]

There's two things that I am trying to get my money up for.  We'll see how long it takes though.

Car looks great, im also in the northeast...just wondering if this car is a daily? How would an air ride hold up to our shitty winters?

VIP_Monkey - not sure right yet.  I have had it installed since April and my car is in the garage when not in use.

Im going to be picking up a GS300 in the next few weeks. Ive been lurking around this site and a couple others for a while just checking everything out. Im coming from the Honda scene so its a big change for me haha. Ive always liked the VIP style and i figured i would give it a shot. I see alot of people with Liberty VIP Car Club logos...is that a shop in NY? Id love to find a couple places local to purchase parts and meet other VIP enthusiasts. sorry for the big post lol

Libertys not a shop its just a club of car enthusiasts. depending on what parts u need, u can find them via the vendors here or the members.

Thanks alot, sorry to thread jack. =)

[QUOTE=VIP_Monkey;287466]Thanks alot, sorry to thread jack. =)[/QUOTE]

No problem.  You can hit up some of the Liberty guys and we can point you in the right direction for parts.

saaaweeeet!
