Yes chrome makes all the difference with those wheels. Dude if your car is not an AWD then you have to drop that bad boy. Unless you are taking your car into some rough areas a lot then lowering is the way to go. Trust me, I waited almost a whole year because of the same reasons you mentioned but after I did it I really wish I would have done it a long time ago. I truly believe the 430 takes the lowering better than the 300 in terms of ride quality but still if you have a 300 you could do a moderate drop and not feel a thing. I hope you do it one way or the other, that is a sweet looking setup you have and the lowering just makes all the diference in the world. Your car will feel complete, as I feel mine is now. After I did it I really have no desire to go to larger rims which is what I wanted to do first. The lowering with 18" rims makes the car look perfect. Trust me you will love it.

Looks prefect!
My lunch buddy has the exact same color GS and wheels but without chrome. His ride already looks great but chrome brings the car up a class! Gotta ask my buddy to consider chroming his too!

I helped my friend installed some springs in his 01 GS 300 and mine is a 300 also do you think I would be able to install it also or should I bring it to a professional ?
Here is a link to where you can get the springs for the lowest price I have seen. Saves you a little money to help compensate for the overall cost to lower the car.
