Pics of my lightly modded 2002 GS430
Just installed Tanabe df210's and 25mm H&R spacers on the rear. I left my stock shocks on and I love the ride, feels great! I recently installed the srt intake/ecu and have welded in magnaflow mufflers and removed the center resontaors, mean and audible but not mustang annoying loud. Wheels next. Enjoy!

thanks for posting...
I have the same color GS and am looking for a drop and since am very **** about the kind of drop i get, i always like to see before jumping.
I am planning on dropping my GS on the same stock chromies you have and that drop you have is exactly what i want.
What i need to know is if the springs are stiff and how the ride quality is.
I love the stock chromies a lot and never thought of bigger rims but now that i see them with a drop they do look kind of tiny...kind of like engulfed by the GS.

Thanks for the comments. I will post up a few more pics today, it was almost dark when I took the other ones. The ride is pretty much stock feeling but has a noticable improvement in handling. I have had Koni Yellows and Bilstien shocks on a bunch of cars but I didn't want to feel every bump in this car, Tanabe states the springs are 15% stiffer than the stockers, I would say the feel at most 15% maybe 10% stiffer. Maybe the pics made the stock wheels look small but I thought it makes the wheels look better and def not smaller looking. I think 19" wheels are in my near future and am worried the larger wheels will produce more wheel gap than what I have with the 17's, this true?
