Default I LOVE my GS300

Since i've had the coilover's done and the alignment,i've done around 90miles of local driving in 2 days and i have to admit i LOVE the car the way it is,i can't wait till i get some new steering + control arm bushes in and see how it is then.

Everything is slowly getting perfect on it IMO,the only things that i wish to change are already ordered or getting ordered next month.

Driving it around is amazing,coilover's making it handle SO much better and the ride height is low and scraps here and there,but everytime i look at the car when i'm walking up to it i can't help but put a very big on my face

once the car is right mechanically it's perfect,the engine is so smooth,the ride is amazing,the interior is plush,its great

i was tempted at selling it and getting another R33 GTS-T,but this is now staying for a very very long time

Even on the stock 17s the GS slammed looks great! Congrats. You will love the Daizen C.A. bushings, along with steering rack bushings. I wouldn't forget about your ball joints if they haven't been changed yet, especially driving lowered, or your case slammed. I would even get the Daizen swaybar bushings if you aren't planning on upgraded sways. Keep enjoying .
