#328803Help with my 1st gen GS300....
Im buying a 93 GS300, tomorrow. Its black, with gray leather. Right away, Im going to order new leather (black with gray inserts) . Then, ...some new black oem floor mats, and some curtains, ....maybe some seat pillows. I just bought a PIMP, old Momo wood wheel, ..and have an adaptor coming for it. Im trying to build this whole car, ..for $6k. Im doing all the labor myself, of course.I'll be getting some coilovers, soon. Maybe some Megans, ...or Ksports? Any suggestions are welcome. I DONT want a super stiff, ..track coilover. Our roads are RUFF. The springs have to have some give. Something similiar to the Tein Flex. I had a set on a SC300. I think something like that would be good, but theyre out of my budget. I need to stick with the ones <$1000.
I want to push the envelope, a little but, with the wheel fitment. I have a fender roller, ...and I also do paint and body, as a hobby. I want to flare the fenders out a bit, ...nothing crazy, BUT, ..I want to stuff the widest 18" or 19" wheels I can, in the rear. I'll be repainting the car, black, anyway. It'll be a show quality finish.
The front, ...Id like to go flush, ...but drivable flush. I want the rears to poke, maybe a half inch, ...and run a narrow tire to make it clear, when the suspension compresses. Thats the thing, .....its GOT to be drivable.
I havent been able to find many 1st gen GS and Aristos, with aggressive fitment, ...with specs listed. And, ..Im not order custom wheels. I plan on hunting down a good used set. If you guys could posts some, with specs of the wheels AND the tires,.... Id appreciate it. Please, 1st gen ONLY.
