Here's another shot. The Greddy Gracer Front lip and RMM front grill were just added not so long ago....well the 19's are recent too.

Your car looks good man. I think you need to lower it a bit. Other then that it looks sweet.

Looks good.. But like Lextacy400 said you need to lower that bad boy so it doesn't look like a 4X4.. That is the Cinnabar colour correct??

I went back and forth so many times before ordering our GS between the Cinnabar and the Spectra but the Blue won me over.. Wheels look nice too!!

Keep up the good work!

Yeah, the drop is definately needed.

That's next on my list.

Who sells springs for the GS400 and how much drop can I expect.

That is the cinnabar color.....

2SAVVY...I think you went with the right choice....Spectra Blue is an incredible color...I would have gone with it if I had found it before I located this car..

Ok here is a spring drop breakdown:

L-Tuned or Eibach = 1 inch drop
H&R = 1.5 inch drop
Coilovers = Adjustable between 1 inch to 3 inches

You can check with SupraTRD (Steve) for pricing on springs and shocks.. He is a pretty good guy and has great pricing..

Hope that helps!

Manuel
Rims look GREAT. Some questions:

What are the offsets?
What size tires front/back?
Do you have centering rings?
Any balance problems, particularly at 60-80?
Those rims are chromed, right?
Why did you pick that brand? I haven't heard of them (not that that means anything).
