How my GS will look in 2 months!!!

Got the kit ordered and the ls430 wheels!!! :smiley: Well, actually the kit will be here in about 2 months... so, anyways, this is how it should look:

After deciding between a modified admiration kit by me or a devils euro, I think the devils euro will fit my car and taste better... looks more subtle; less bulky.

What rides better coilovers (Ksport, JIC, Tein) or an air suspension? I have tanabe springs and I might want to lower the car a tad more...

The Ride on air susp is MUCH better, coilovers can make even a lexus break your back.

but of course with coilovers you can corner much better too.

An air suspension is going to ride a lot better than coilovers, but will cost a lot more to get done, but worth it. That's the first thing I'm going to do when I buy my GS.

The ride depends on how you want it. I'd say you find a GS buddy who has air (preferrebly the setup you're planning to get) and try it out. Then if you haven't tried riding on coils, try that. Then, compare. I personally prefer my air runners. It rides pretty smooth.

how come you decided to go with oem 18 inch wheels and not some other wheel? it's going to look kind of funky with stockish wheels, yet have a lip kit.

i did consider getting different wheels BUT since i am getting them for 400 (ALL OF THEM) in mint condition, they look better than anything right now plus I am not a lip maniac, though it looks good. Eventually, I will trade them or sell em and then get something different... With a spacer of 12 mm front and back and doing some tire size calculations, I should get them to look flush to the body.

wow, nice pic. even though to my taste, 20's would fit better in a more agressive kit; nevertheless this can be an exception being that the wheel/tire fittment looks very good:thumbsup:

I would say go with air suspension but it's up to you and what you can afford. IMO the ride is better and it saves you the trouble of adjusting the height manually. Good luck to you in your project!
