i am well aware of camber and being to low to stiff and how to adjust/minimize things, i work at a shop that stances cars like this everyday..The reason why i asked about the sways is bcuz i have never seen any other GS thats came to our shop with them.
One of my best friends has a 03 GS430 on stances and i love the way his car feels on mid stiffness, but ive never been in the car long enough to determine how turning and exit ramps/on ramps and all that feel at different speeds.. i know it feels better than my car lol bcuz im on these springs but i only put them on bcuz they were free from him untill i had money for coils

Looks like you know what you're doing then! Good luck with the bars and hopefully you'll put those FIGS sway bar endlinks to good use. Slammed cars desperately need them.

2 main reasons.

Mike speaks English and his prices are very reasonable.

Obviously, I save HEAPS on Toyota parts and the like.

GSteg, After reading your comments I can see where you are coming from now. I have seen these GS300's and Aristo's riddiculously low. That's not me. I am going for a pure handling modding route. My power later down the track will come in the form of modded twin turbo's - retaining the stock sequential set-up. (That's another story.)

I still maintain that the single, most satisfying, performance suspension upgrade that one can perform on a 'GS' is replacing the swaybars with thicker/stiffer items. Once I did this to my JZS147, every other modification seemed like a waste of money. Finally, I could actually take a corner without feeling seasick. Provided the current dampers and springs are in safe working order, I would replace the swaybars with performance items before touching the dampers and springs.
I had quite stiff coilovers on my car before touching the swaybars and without the uprated bars my vehicle still had oodles of body roll.

However, GSteg, as you stated before, it all depends on personal taste and what you want from your vehicle.
