After 3 years on CL I made my first mod
I've had my 1998 GS400 for the past 3 years and kept it bone stock. Stock nav, stock stereo, stock wheels.

Wow, this is too much fun. The new Blitz Nur Spec sounds great, here's a clip -

OK, so now what's next? I'm thinking an Injen intake and then the Eibach Pro lowering springs, yes?

Yeah definately go with suspension. I have the Blitz Nur-Spec too and it sounds great on the V8. Get a K&N FIPK2 intake and be a happy man.
Nice Vienna Dish's by the way.

Maybe if there was a quick Suspension for Dummies breakdown

Coilovers are height and dampening adjustable. You can fine tune your stance and stiffness.
