Do it right the first time go coilovers...adjustable in everyway possible (Tein CS).

Also is it just me or do you lot have truck suspension on the GS in the US? I mean I need a drop of about 2" in the front and nil drop in the rear...this being with 19's. Yours looks like 2" plus all around...just comparing hope I'm not offending .

 

Love the title...lol I always vote for coilovers cuz you can adjust the height to whereever you want but not everyone can afford them right away and theres nothing wrong with that. So if your plan is waiting till you can get your hands on them than its a very good plan. Good luck.

 

Yeah don't make the mistake of only dropping it a inch because it will hardly look like you lowered it.

I vote that you save and get coilovers also.

 

That's pretty funny! We do seem to get shafted in America with vehicle ride height- it has to do partly with headlight height regulations... plus, everybody here seems to like trucks here. American Hondas and Toyotas always look ridiculous compared with their Japanese or Euro export counterparts. The wheel gap on the GS is big enough to stuff a beer keg in... mine is dumped 2.25" (about 57mm) and I still would not consider it slammed.

In response to the original poster, the H&R springs are terrific. I have the H&R coilovers in my GS, and I prefer them to the Tein stuff. H&R's regular spring kit drops the GS more aggressively than the Eibachs- if you can't afford or don't want to go the coilover route, I highly recommend the H&R spring kit.

 

I thought I bring them up. For springs, I've seen a lot more mention here in CL of Eibach than the H&R's; didn't know if they were good or not. Thanks for the recommendation SoCalSC4.


Kudos to everyone, you all were informative. I have a clearer picture now on what my choice will be for next spring. I can't believe that none of you didn't crack any jokes. Next is the possiblity of snow tires cause I heard the GS does not do well in the snow. I'll tread the waters first before I go that route. But hey, one step at a time. Thanks again to all.
