his brother's GS is on JIC coils and the fronts are 19x8.5's and rears are 19x10.5's.
What 4ntvings is correct. Not sure how much he's adjusted the height on the coils. All I know is that it's really low. I'll ask my bro when I get the chance.

I think he mentioned he saw a really clean black GS with some Euroline dish type wheels...would that have been you?

Oh and the exhaust, it's not the 5Zigen Mega. It's the Junction Produce coupled with the Carson Tuned B-Pipe.

Oh and thanks for all the replies/comments everyone. I'm sure my brother appreciates it. In fact, I know he does. He come on here from time to time to check out all the other hot GS' on here

Your bro's car is beautiful Seize.

I was just curious, did you pick out the parts? I'm sure your time on this forum must have influenced what went on that car...

Anyhow,

Anyhow,
After with so much frustration with trying to get a set of BBS LM's I recommended he get the WORK VS-XX (which is now what he currently has on his car). Other than that, that's the only recommendation I gave him

if you get a chance can you ask him what the offset is on his wheels
his car has "the look" to me, wheels don't stick out the side of the car near flush but look like they aren't going to rub too much

The specs for the wheels are:

19 x 8.5 et +40 (high disk) about 1, 1/2" lip

19 x 10.5 et +42 (low disk) about 3, 1/2" lip

When he first installed it, he had the SRT Intake and no exhaust (just OEM). It definitely made a difference in the exhaust tone, made it sound deep, but having the stock mufflers on, the sound wasn't as pronounced. Currently, coupled with the JP muffler set-up the car sounds pretty damn mean, especially for a six-cylinder. As far as it adding more power, he says he believes it does. Not sure, since I really don't drive his car all too often. All I know is that it replaces your cats, and the pipe is pretty much straight through so no restirction there. I guess a freer flowing exhaust would free up some power.

Not sure if you've seen this vid, but it's a clip of my bro's car I posted awhile back. You can hear him when he gets on it
