Just picked up a '02 Black GS300

I just picked up a black 2002 GS300 on Friday. It has factory navigation, the power sunroof, and the Mark Levinson audio. The ML subwoofer is blown, so I want to replace that first. I am looking to put this GS on a set of chrome wheels. 9J/10J set up should look nice. I am also leaning toward an air ride set up. I was looking at three different air ride set-ups.. airrunner - obviously the best choice.. but sooooo much money. and ksport air & UAS. 

here is the car: BORING STOCK GS.

 the owner of this GS is a member on here (pimprascal) maybe you can chime in... your car is sexy. :biggthumpup:

i'm looking into the UAS air system now.. we shall see how long it's going to take me to save up for it :(

Nice. Im trying to get there little by little.

Scoop up the UAS stuff, but run all paddle valves.  It'll save you quite a bit of money.

i'll probably end up scooping the UAS, but it'll be a while. i want to get this car perfect and get a good sum of cash in savings before i buy air. i was thinking about snagging some springs to run for the next few months so keep me somewhat satisfied.. haha

Wow that car is high .. :pat: ..  i know its stock .. but damm  its high LOL

my car is stock and I feel like i'm driving a monster truck.. -_-"

Nice pick up, clean for sure... I wish you would've copped an LS430 tho (like I'm the one car shopping, lol.) & please no Bazreias on your ride... like it's my car again, lol...

i knoowwwwwwwwww :sad:

i just sold my xB that's lips were about 2.5" off the ground & i was tucking tire on all four wheels... it's sad to see this much wheel gap.. :'(

unfortunately i need to save up a bit until i can get this monster truck lowered.

haha! i really really love the LS430s, but they were too pricey for me. I know "you gotta pay to play" but if i had an LS430 it would've taken me 3 years to get suspension & wheels haha, with the GS300 it should only take about 2.5 years :P sucks having two car payments and a house..... haha

Clean GS bro. I'm planning on getting one soon myself. 
Might be a little while sadly.

and don't worry, i don't plan on running bazreias, i love work varianza series wheels! i just need to snag a used set

Nice and clean

nice car ! yup ! you got to pay to play ! man why is money always invovled ! ha ha !

nice find man

I paid off all of my debt, so I got the okay from the wife to buy GS stuff with my tax return moneys. :dance:
 

Hopefully going to buy these come tax return season: :drool:
[LIST]
[*]Hopefully a used Phantom Cup Kit or Air kit.
[*]new MRR HR3 Wheels, 20x8.5F 9.5R or something 19x9/19x10  used.
[*]Remove the rear wing
[/LIST]We shall see.... fingers crossed. :dunno:

Or you can get some dope rims and coilovers instead of MRR, and add air to the coilovers later and have adjustability.

I would love some legit wheels, but it's hard to justify $3k wheels on the daily... haha it was hard enough justifying the suspension.. that took a lot of persuading.

This would be my first vehicle on air... or my 6th on coilovers.... haha

But just in case, what are some of the better options out there for coilovers?  =)

I liked the idea of a cup kit because it offers all of the "pros" of coilovers, with the lift when I need it (I live in Utah, I will need it).
I don't love the idea of air... but I think air is more "VIP".

Quite the opposite. Air is US VIP

Well I lived in Japan for 5 years before moving to Utah,  and I saw a lot of VIP cars there on air and a lot on coilovers too. I just never wanted air before because it seemed like a pain in the ass. I figured I'd give it a try this time, but I'm leaning more towards a cup kit... maybe coilovers?

Go with air

Nice GS.  Congrats on the new ride.

First of all you dont need to drop 3k to get a decent brand of multipiece wheels.

I see 3 pages worth of wheels in decent sizes for under 2k. Just some food for thought

Thank you for the website! I was just thinking about it and me & the wife were planning to hopefully make a trip back to Japan this Spring or so.... I might as well wait until then for wheels & ship them back!  :dance:

I've been trying to research it and have been failing. So how adjustable is the GS's factory suspension? as far as camber and toe go? I've been trying to research it but it seems like everyone is running aftermarket arms. I don't want to run a really aggressive set-up.. probably a 19x9/10J +~15 set-up? Would I be able to tune the factory suspension enough to tuck wheel in the rear and sit flush up front? I want to do it right. & I am planning on running air on this car.

no problem with those specs.  you have to shave the rear and add a little camber
