Hey Zax3gs, what suspension are you sitting on? I wanted to drop my GS 430, but am looking around. Any constructive comments to share?

Stock suspension with tanabe NF210 springs. In my opinion it's a perfect subtle drop. No loss in comfort (other than the low profile tires) and a little stiffer around the bends.

Zax, one more question. Is the Tanabe NF210 the Max Comfort Springs or the Max Lowering Springs that drops the front 2" and the Rear 1.8"?

Thanks! So the Tanabe NF210 are the ones to rock with that gives you a nice drop, ride and handling. Do you have a stress bar in the front for the chassis? Sway Bar

Would running 20x9.5 / 11.5 do any harm to the car as far as drivetrain goes? My car is going under the knife soon.


I'm looking for input. thanks!

The wheels look great. I like your pinstripe - looks real sharp.

I've been reading through these threads and gained allot of valuable info, but some things i'm not sure about and i still have a few questions: I have a set of Vossen 082 Front: 19X8.5 32mm offset Rear: 19X10 38mm. one problem is i'm not exactly sure what tires to wrap these around, I was thinking 245/25 front and 275/30 rear. But i'm kind of new at this. another question is im hearing different things about staggered fitments on an AWD car, does it destroy the system? Does it mess with ride comfort? what additionals mods needs to be done for this work without rubbing? anybhelp is appreciated.

25 front and 35 rear is too thin for 19" rim I think.
