Default New-B Suspension Choices

I just picked up a 93 GS300. I'm all set on attempting the VIP look, so i'm doing my research. You guys seem to be the most informative group i've seen. I've decided to go with Coilovers to start off. I'd like the car to be able to go as low a possible with out affecting to much of the ride comfortability. I'm looking at possibly 19's or 20's! I know there are so many other elements to making this decision, so just in general, what do you guys think?


Any help is appreciated!

welcome to Club Lexus!if you are gonna go with coilovers,i would suggest going with JIC coilovers.from what i'ved seen they go the lower than any other brand.but if you wanna ride low,you're gonna have to sacrifice ride comfort.unless you go with air suspension! 20's to me looks a little too big for 1GS's,but with the right style and fitment it can look pretty good!i personally like 19's though.if you wanna pull off the "VIP" look,be prepaired to pay the price.getting real authentic "VIP" parts gets exspensive but its worth it.dont buy cheap knockoff crap!dont fake the funk.work out your wheel fitment and stance first,then move on to dressing up the exterior.good luck with your project!

Thanks BIGGZ! I'm just trying to get my feet wet into the scene. I saw some pics of your ride, DAMN BRO!!! That's F!@#$ Inspiring! Well i'm going to look into those JIC's. Thanks, Oh and 19's it is. I just talked to some guys out here from Junction Produce and they also suggested 19's.

Much Appreciated,

If anyone has any other experiences with other suspension setups PLEASE let me know!
