Default Newbie here!

Been reading along for a few months now, and just recently joined the club. I didnt realize there was just enthusiasm for the 2GS. I picked up a 98 GS400 in Nov. '07 and love the car. You guys are going to make me spend some money! Hope to get a body kit sometime soon, not sure which one though, and the mirrors with the LED signals. Any mod suggestions would be great; here are a couple of pictures. Sorry don't know how to upload more than one picture at a time.

Being I have a new addition to the family, money isn’t as easily accessible anymore, what set up would you guys recommend for the drop?

Just found a thread under suspension.

Welcome to CL...The proper way is to get a set of DF210s springs or a set of KSport or Megan coilovers. Or keep it gangsta and chop them b'otchs.

Knexx does not condone choppin springs...

welcome to the club....but imo those wheels/tires gotta go sir...even with a drop i think they still wouldn't look good but keep in mind that's just my opinion. funny your front bumper looks like mine in the EXACT same spot...

If the body kit doesnt come soon, then I am going to HAVE to get the bumper painted!
