Where is the aftermarket for the 1st gen GS300 ??
While my Mom technically "owns" the GS, I will be doing the work on it. And since my Civic Si is nearly completed, I am eager to start tinkering with the GS. However, is there any aftermarket for it?? What I have found so far seems to be extremely limited. I am merely looking for some bolt-ons; a little more power and not much more noise. Exhaust, a real intake system, shocks, springs, etc. No forced induction, no motor swaps, etc. although I love the thought of a turboing it Basically I am looking for any and all worthwhile upgrades, for all aspects of the car.

Thanks, that helps a lot. But what companies are producing products for the 1st gen GS?? And what should I be looking for, company-wise??
Actually my Si was built by me the same way: 6-8 weeks at a time . While the outside is stock looking, almost the entire interior consists of either Civic Type R parts (exclusive to Japan) or from Spoon Sports ( a Honda/ Acura tuner and builder of parts). And the engine going in is from a Japanese spec Integra Type R that thankfully is already here in the states.

Ken,
If you need brand new eibach springs and 4 brand new shocks, I have them available for 440.00+shipping. To make a long story short, I purchased all of these and they are still sealed. When I went to lower my car, I found out that my car was already lowered and has new shocks already.

I think Byran mentioned b4 that the shocks are KYB(?) As for the Eibach Pro-Kit. Iit drops the car about 1.2"
Hope this helps,
