however, since OP still wants slight lower, maybe the NF's or eibach's will do on stock shocks as well...i'm more in favor of DF's, daizen, or espelirs.

They're 350Z wheels. I sold a set of them a back in September. I''m surprised that they look so good on the GS.

If that's your direction, Eibach or Tanabe NF210 are some good choices.

MVP is a good place to buy parts from, but they arent the cheapest so get a price match from ebay or somewhere like that.

I also wanna drop my 1998 gs400 and I only wanna lower it about 1.5 inches, I was thinkin Eibachs but they only advertise a one inch drop, does that mean a 1 inch drop on gs3 or gs4 ? Seems like gs4's go slightly lower with the same springs. Should I get tanabe or daizen ? The eibachs dont lower as much as the daizen or tanabe right ? Which one is lower tho tanabe or daizen and how do they compare in terms or ride quality ?

ya we could sure use pics that illustrate different springs/wheel combos. If anyone could post pics and mention what size tires and wheels and also what springs and struts if not stock. And Im assuming putting lowering springs on a 100k mile car using stock struts and original tie rods might not be the best idea ? As far as I know my GS has original struts on it and has never had the tie rods done either.
