  1. simply stunning B) how low can you actually drive it without any scrapes? :duh:
  2. did you try mytyres? they have hankooks in stock but at £300 each i would,nt bother with the amount of snow we get. remember these will be useless in any other weather and will burn up on a dry road.
  3. its getting there although the body now looks more like an RX under cover :winky:
  4. here,s my Gs300 now sat under 15" of snow and its still coming down heavy
  5. well ive had all the service work done but the Gs wont be going on a run anytime soon as its now under 3" of snow
  6. the Gs has gone into a mates garage today for a cambelt change, new plugs, gearbox and engine oil change for a very reasonable price. mates rates are great arent they? anyway while he,s got it he,s also going to have a look at the suspension to see what kind of job a spring swap will be and quote me on that. fingers crossed :winky:
  7. well ive just trawled through 7 pages of this project and all i can say is AWESOME. must be one of the best around B) chrome wheels are not to my taste but its your car and i,m not knocking it atall. please keep the pics coming :winky:
  8. i work in the truck side of ATS so i,ll be asking one of the car fitters to do the job if its a pretty straight forward job. i,ll have no worries getting the geometry sorted after either. i,ll get some springs ordered me thinks :winky:
  9. ive always been a BIG fan of dark wheels. what about anthrasite? B)
  10. mine came with 235/40 fronts and 265/35 rears and sit perfect on the rims :winky:
  11. my new 300 with 8.5x18 et32 and 9.5x18 et35 wheels with 235 and 265 tyres B)
  12. cheers for the comments :winky: i cant wait to get it lowered but i,m getting silly quotes for fitting springs. are these bad cars to work on or something??? i mean £350 labour to fit my own springs.
  13. last year i ran a 3L omega. 1800kg with RWD, auto, traction and snow mode. IT WAS TOTALLY USELESS EVERYWHERE. was slightly better with all the nanny buttons OFF though.
  14. are these cars any harder to work on than any other and what sort of job is it to swap springs? i,m only asking as ive just been quoted £350 by a specialist to fit my own springs. WHY???
  15. ok thanks. i,ll see whats out there and make a decission after ive had the cambelt and plugs done and see if theres any budget left.
  16. so without spending a fortune on coilovers i can only go 25mm lower? it looks like my options are lowered springs or just stock sport ones then? how do people lower sports or dont they bother?
  17. can you tell me how much did they lower your sport by and were they listed as sport springs and do you know how much higher an SE sits as standard than a sport? cheers.
  18. sorry got the year wrong. just checked the log book and its 03-10-97. i fancied the sport wheels at first but they seem very rare and expensive even in poor condition. when i priced in a refurb and new tyres these came in far cheaper. i love the look of these anyway. big barges look awesome on deep-dish wheels IMO B)
  19. ive just bought a 97 gs300 SE and its on stilts so which springs do people recommend? (preferbly cheaper ones) ive seen a few but they only drop 25mm. is this figure for the sport model as i wanted a bigger drop than that? cheers in advance :winky:
  20. hi from a very happy new lexus owner. here,s the first pics of my GS300 SE. it was a totally standard car 3 weeks ago but i,m affraid i dont do standard. its a mint 97 car with 100k miles but it really looks as new and i,m well happy with it. i,m addicted. up to now ive added some 8.5 and 9.5x18 wheels, smoked gen6 celica side repeaters and de-tangoed the front indicators. next on the list is a set of lowering springs. does anyone recommend any???
  21. ive just bought this totally standard SE but cant leave nothing standard. on with the mods :winky:
  22. cheers guys :winky: just had another quote from prestige services in wakefield. £380 which is only £35 less than lexus. not sure its worth risking for that much. has anyone used these for anything?
