They look like very conservative XXR 521's.

Spend the money on coilovers. BCR from what I hear are great, if I had to do it again I would have probably gotten JIC or whatever is up there. Just remember, you drive on it everyday so if you do the math, it's a one time fee unlike wheels, intakes, tires, etc.

my frd has those on his IS, there not bad but i would get the xxr 521s. Not sure if the xxr 521 will fit in my car though.

a drop would probably make the car look a lot nicer though.

Not feeling those wheels but as long as the owner likes them it's all good.

Are those 18's? Maybe it's the picture quality, but they look small for the GS.

megan racing coilovers are available for AWD also.. even better price than BCR..
be ready for vibration though.. it's inevitable if you want to go low..
