simple Gs300 daily driver build thread.

I purchased my gs300 earlier this year to replace my s2000. I needed a bigger and more practical car and something just to get me A to B. I ended up purchasing an 02 black/black sport design.

my old s2k:

so this is shortly after I purchased the car, installed led tails, chrome trunk bar and beginning my air install.

I wasn't happy with the upper control arms constantly banging on the shock towers at ride height so I cut shock towers.

NICE BUILD MANG!!! you know when you cut your strut towers to pilot ur upper control arm, did you see a notice in drop, when aired all the way out??? I have the same issue with mine, but i dont want to cut the body up. but if it clears another inch or so, i am considering it. thanks

i would say 1/4 - 1/2 inch lower, I tuck the wheel lip slightly now, ill try to get some more pictures.

Hmmm, i thought it would be atleast an inch, but thanks! Pics would be dope too

now instead of the ball joint end hitting, the rest of the upper A-arm is hitting the car. cutting the hole will not give you more of a drop unless you clearance the rest of the metal for the rest of the arms. makes sense? the only reason to open the shock tower like that is to clearance the ball joint for driving, not to go lower.

What you need to do is shorten the steering knuckle. I chopped 38mm off mine but should have gone 2"...

looking great!

mocked up my lip kit to see how it fit, and dropped it off to get repaired and painted.
