Default A preview of things to come! Aus-spec GS300

Hey Guys, relativately new here and to the GS Scene. Just bought a GS300 with the intention of it being a nice daily whilst i turn spanners on drift cars, and now it's getting silly. (sigh)

Just put in BC coilovers and about to purchase a set of Work Gnosis GS5 in 20x10.5 and 20x9.5, needs further lowering to tuck rim but these photos are just during test fitting!

Enough of the talking, pics below!




needs some random paint stuff fixed up like the rear bar, and needs wing and areal removal, and roof and boot and TTE lip.

Keep us updated, and browse thru the 2nd Gen GS300 classifieds, and you can get a few of the parts your looking for. Post up some pics when you put your wheels on and tuck it, as well as when you get the body peices. Welcome to Club Lexus.

Hey man, how do those BC's run on our roads?
Were they the RS series or the RA series?
Looks sweet man, good work, your progress is so much faster than mine =/

Yeah it's a 245/30 all round, pretty thin especially on the rear with the stretch. Wouldn't mind bumping it up a bit. Front needs to go a 225 width though for more gaurd clearance.

I got BC BR's and they are excellent, they go low, and i think they feel nicer than stock haha.

And i'm on the Gold Coast.

Thanks for all the words!
