Hi all. I bought a 2000 GS3. Although it rides nice, I think it can do better. Don't know or think that the shocks have been replaced. Any suggestions on a good brand to get or go a different way? Will this dig deep in my pocket?

more details.

Do you want to go lower? If so how much lower.

Do you want to stay at current height but have a stiffer ride?

Do you just want to replace your current setup with the same/similar setup?

If I can make it better and achieve the two above questions....or see what other options I have. Not looking to lower though.

Go with Bilstein HD shocks. They'll stiffen up your ride and probably reduce the highway float.

i'm not sure how much shocks alone will run but look into coilovers. you can adjust your height to whatever you want basically in case you change your mind about keeping stock height. and for the right coilovers you can have a pretty stiff setup alone.

Can you give me some links to look it up?

Tirerack.com has some decent prices. just picked up a set of KYB gr-2's for my eibachs and I can def. say it improved my ride. my oem's did have 90k+ miles, so its more or less bringing back the life of the ride it once had.

if all you're lookin for is comfort and not ride height adjustment and/or better handling, keep your car stock. it's not gonna get anymore comfy.

i wouldnt go with KYB's .. booooo oem replacement.


GO WITH BILSTEINS!! theyre stiff and much thicker in design. if highend cars like BMW other highend cars use it as STOCK we can use it as replacements.

Love my new KYB's. I too was concerned about giving up the comfy ride but also recognized the car will float and wallow without better shocks/springs. This was the best compromise and the car is more fun to drive, more capable handling, and yet still very Lexus like in comfort.

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure Bilsteins are better.

I run the KYBs they're much better than the worn out OEMs.

Doesn't lean too heavily on braking or turning and the freeway floating is unnoticeable.

It really does depend on how much money you got. DIY saves you a couple hundred...

Bilsteins struts and Daizen or TRD sways and your good. Then if you want to take it furthrer get Daizen bushings, new tie rods, and new ball joints.
