Dude that is so awesome, I love how low you roll on a daily basis!

I'm definitely envious.

I like the GT7s,  but if you can get it chromed or maybe silver polished it would look more vip. I like your stance.  Great job bro.

Not a big fan of chrome and the dont come polished. i plan on getting the same wheels bigsteve has in addition to these current ones... lower offsets of course:giggity: :dance:

Sweet! Are you still having bump issues? If so look into these:[url]http://www.battleversion.com/rca_blocks.htm[/url]

still having issues but i need to change out suspensions first..  i will have tein flex 4 sale soon! recently rebuilt!

BTW I know your runnin 20's in the rear, what are your tire specs and did you cut or roll your wells?

19/9.5 +40 front(have 15 mil spacer:smiley: ) with 235/35/19
20/10.5+24 rear 275/30/20 
both fk452 
front fender stock, rear rolled... horribly but recently repainted and redone. i should have cut them. i think i iam going to run nankangs next summer though and might go up a size in the front and down a few in the rear so i can add spacers to the rear

nice gs man ... that is pretty darn low for daily driving ... i have a hard time driving my G and its not as low as your GS

Thanks! i want the front to be lower!
i want to see no tires in the front. just like the back... on coils!:giggity: :dance: :hsughd3: :hsughr: :hsughhyper2: :bigok: :coolugh: :yahoo_35: ... sorry got carried away. that would be sick tho

Nice to see cars on the north east driving that low.  Car looks good and will look even better with those wheels that you plan on getting.  Only thing is, with aggressive fitment, you need to set your ride super stiff or you will crack the paint off of the fenders or even damage the lips of the wheels.  So keep that in mind when you switch to lower offsets.

my jic was defective and blew within a month so i sent it back 4 a rebuild. this is what i told paul at jic: "i want a race type setup detuned to ride on the street. i want it to hurt when i hit a pothole. i want it so stiff that when i drive over normal road irregularities the wheels dont move up and down. only the car does. lets throw comfort and ride quailty out the window and  focus on stiffness and handling" i sent it back like 4 months ago. still waiting. thwy said they were dealing with to may drift events and sema. we will see when i get it back. i also plan on getting many chassis braces(in addition to the ones i have) and suspension components from nagisa(camber/ traction rods) also i unfortunatly destroyed my carbing under brace so i neeed a new one of those!:pat: . i thought your air setup rode soft?

4 months ago!  daym!  Id be pissed waiting that long for a defective rebuild.  they should atleast replaced it with a new set up.  The AirRunners come with 4 settings for the shocks.  I set mine on soft. I like it soft like a woman's breast feels.

My setup rides smooth.  I do bang my front fenders on the wheels alot but I want some comfort so im not planning on going stiffer.  I was originally going to go with coilovers but I was thinking long term/ fiberglass kit.  As you know, new potholes come out of no where so I didnt want to take chances.

i see, but i probably ride as low as you park so i need the stiffness... and dont get me started agan about jic:saiyancrunks:

i tuck my wheels back and leave at least 1 finger gap in the front for my daily drive height.  im not that good on going up ramps and getting off ramps.  twice i already twisted my front fender....Once I set a nice ride height...I dont like to keep adjusting the air height. lol..im lazy.  I dont want to cut the fender cause i dont want to weaken it.  But about jic.... id threaten them about getting your money back cause that is just wrong.

as u can see, i ride with no gap in front(slight tuck) and i want a WALD lip kit too!  i am contacting jic tomorrow

actually my car has such little travel in the front, the tire CANT hit  the fender. and i am not even rolled!:smiley-rofl: :smiley-rofl: :shrug:

Straight gangsta!!:dance: 

I love the stance.:giggity:

I was just about to send you a pm for pics of your car....I like your set up. I love the stance... I will be there soon :biggthumpup::runcoold:

just put the super street  back on.  tein flex 4 sale! now if only my jic would come in..........:shrug:

Man if I could drop the rear like 1/4-1/2 inch more. But I only have a pinky amt of space between tire and inner fender. I know I could get them chopped or rolled, but I got worried about the seams seperating then having to spot weld..:shrug: [IMG]http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee108/augdogg77/DSC00474.jpg[/IMG]

first time i seen ls430 wheels on a gs, i like them!

does it  rub in the rear at all? even with people in the car? if not.. lower away! if it does, you will only need a really light roll. you wont even have to roll the lip of the quarter panel flat, maybe just a 45 degree angle. u wont have any problems of done right.

Nope no rub w/ two passengers, but do you think it will camber enough to clear? if I do drop is it curtains for any passengers in the back?

not to sound like as ass but, u have coilovers. why not just try? i dont think you are going to have any probs. i ride 4 deep all the time slammed. you got nothing to lose! dont be shy now!:eekwiggle: :shrug: :naughty: :naughty: :coolugh:

looking good!!

Whoa yer cars back!!! Looks gangsta, gangsta!

THANKS but im too high!:shrug:

looks good man

Too high?!  Car looks dope bro!  As far as I'm concerned, you set the game stateside for a 2GS going low on coils.   
 
What happen to the lip?  Destroyed?

Yeh, wayyy tooo high! I think if I look hard enough i can see a sliver of tire up in there :P

yeah, the lip got rippped off last year on a metal plate on the road. i was going to fix it and put it back on but it got thrown away.  if u look at my previous pics, my car was actually a half inch lower last year. i just got tired of breaking suspension parts and destroying my front fenders. im on cut tein ss coils. las year i just cut a coil and a half all around and just left it that way!LOL i will be coming down more tho

your car still looks good, but i liked it alot better when it was 1/2 inch lower haha :biggthumpup:

just added 15 mil spacers to the front. will be coming down more. hopefully tonight

[QUOTE=volkgt7;254592]just added 15 mil spacers to the front. will be coming down more. hopefully tonight[/QUOTE]


post pics when you do

i knew there was something different bout ur car..higher and no lip..u can only ride that low for so long..i wanna go lower too..but i just cant go anywhere at the height i wanna be..but ur car is still clean at that height man..dont stress over it..haha

i go wherever i want. i dont let that stop me. i scrape everywhere through the streets of boston and i dont give a shit unless i have to LOL!. just tires hitting my fenders and broken suspension parts, and having no job stop me from getting lower. i need to bring the car to  the bodyshop on mon to even out both my front fenders and fix a recurring crack that i have in the metal. i WILL be going slightly lower, and a lot lower when i eventually get different rear tires. i will hold out on pics till then unless u want cameraphone pics in the meantime

pics are pics..theyre always welcomed:biggthumpup:

car in the shop yet?

should be out tomorrow, then i still gotta see how much room i have in there to go lower. should have went with 225's in the front but i got tired of bubbling them every 2 weeks!

ur jus gettin ur front fenders fixed?

daaammnn every 2 weeks? how much psi do u have in ur tires?

only fixing one of the fenders. i keep 42psi in the front and 40  in the rear
 they didn't get to the car till today so it wont be done till mon which is ok with me i guess since i am not paying for the work

cant go lower with these spacers.... o well gonna take them out and put 5 mil spacers:shrug:

yea sucks driving dumped daily and not being flushed in the front at least.

what ever happen to the updates?! ahhahah

updates for what!? all i did was break more stuff!:slap:

your crazy driving thru boston with your car that low.. i went thru a shit load of oil pans and thank god there were only on hondas lol..
but you are kind of pushing me on getting a baller mobile like yours...

it take s dedication and a lot of trial and error. Im not even half way there yet or low enough and i have been through countless suspension parts and 3 different coilovers. You either love it and go hard or go home

Yo how about some front facia shots bro? While i was rollin dumped my front suffered from stress cracks, real cracks, chips, scratches, dings, etc... These things happened on everyday daily road conditions. I rarely bottomed (def have renforced welds for piping tho)but my plastic always pays the price and it looks shredded! Yours has to be worse then mine?

My car is currently broken right now and at the shop just waiting to be fixed when i have the $$$ to fix it . I should be over there tomorrow, and  hopefully i will take pics. I had the whole nose repainted about 4 months ago and it is MESSED UP! i uave painted the front if my car 5 times in 4 years and i am gonna do it again. I drive my car often, park it on the street downtown boston where people bash into it ad i also drive HARD! like 150 mph! my club: Hi-Tech did a lot of promoting for our import evolution( [url]http://import-evolution.com/[/url] ) car show so we hit almost every major car show in the tristate. I did a LOT of driving this summer. I also went to NY twice. i, like agi dont believe in blue tape or adjusting my height for shows. HIGH=UGLY I ride dumped daily and i am still too high! gotta wait til burn through these 235's in the front which i  may not do before winter, in which i am STILL DROPPED

Grant recently reminded me  that i ned to take more pics to document my trials, triumphs, and tribulations.

Added some pics of the bumper "Wear and Tear" and Front and Rear Fitment. The front is ok but i need to downsize tires and the rear needs small spacers after i do some work under the fenders

Bumper was painted 4 months ago and its much worse in person. There was a snow plow in front of the car at the shop so i could not get any really good pics. plus its rerally dirty. Its been sitting there for 3 weeks

damn that sucks you think clear bra would have prevented most of that? You fitment is on point buy the way.

i honestly prefer to repaint than clearbra. I dont like the way those things look i have repainted my nose four times. every year i have owned the car, and when i get the car up and running again the nose, roof, and rear bumper will be painted before winter. Thanks for the compliment on my fitment. grant was telling me on the chatbox the other day that 9.5+15 would be sunken battleship status on the front of the gs. He is just too hardcore for me! I respect his shit tho 4 sure! I wanted to go lower this year but i never got the 225,s in the front that i wanted even though i went through 10 tires! Now u see why i crack my fenders up all the time.

jst curious is your toe off like crazy in the rear or do u have a rear RCA kit?

na the rear toe is ok and i dont have rca's. Honestly i dont see what you are talking about. My fenders are pulled about 1/4 inch and the pull goes through the whole diameter of the fender all the way to the bumper. I used to run 275's in the rear. That might be throwing you off. i also have 20's in the rear and i have not adjusted my camber negative

oh i was just asking if u had a RCA kit or not, because for some reason my toe is maxed out in the rear and it seems that i needa rca kit to get the rear toe back into spec. thats all i was really asking.

it was a random question.

that does not make sense cuz i had my toe misadjusted for a few days cuz the bushing in the rod was seized and the stock adjustment range is huge! i think you might have something stuck

hrmmm probably. or either the shop i went to was wack.
