I'm lowered on tanabe springs. I recommend the B2D brand (they are a vendor on here) 15mm in the front and 20mm in the rear worked great for me - no rubbing under high speed cornering. There is a thread on here with some pics. I'll try to link it on here for you.
I had 10mm H&R spacers (http://www.trakplus.com/) on my stock wheels and thought the fit was perfect. Not too aggressive with a nicely balanced and flush look. There were good reviews on the Eibach brand as well.
Note: I have an AWD, so my stock wheel sizes are a bit different than your RWD GS which has a staggered setup. So 10mm may not be the best fit for your ride.
Does it have a built in studs or u have to replace ur stock ones?
There are like three types of setup.
1) With small spacers, you can just stick it between your wheel and factory studs. Straight forward and super easy DIY install. But you can only safely do this with really small widths (5mm or less).
2) Moderately sized spacers (10mm-20mm) usually provide lengthened studs that replace your stock ones. Removing the factory studs can be a pain, so I took it to my mechanic. See below for pic.
3) The widest spacers will usually have studs built into the spacers. So you bolt the spacer onto your factory studs and then you bolt your wheels onto the studs built into the spacers. These are actually easier to install than the moderate sized spacers, but these only come in really wide sizes (20mm+). See below for pic:
It took me a while to understand, but once I saw pics I realized what was going on. The manufacturers don't do a great job explaining the differences or the trade-offs of between each type.
Disclaimer: This is the info I've gathered myself for the spacers I specifically researched. If you go with a different brand I'd suggest following that manufacturer's installation instructions.

Good luck!
blacksun, do you recall the part numbers of those 10mm spacers and do you recall if they were hubcentric with the lip on them? Any issues? H&R doesnt list them on their site anymore which makes me wonder, but I would like 10mm and only like to run H&R.
