Default GS Lowered Pics

I lowered the front to the max on stock bolts, did the same on the rear and cut one bushing.

Any particular reason? My stock GS has me evaluating dips and bumps and speed humps and you get the idea. The thought of lowering it even more would cause me to lose sleep, become regularly cranky, and slap my neighbors cleaning lady for no discernible reason...

Lol I hear ya! I just prefer the look myself. The air dam outer pieces are cheap to replace. Now the chin spoiler is about $250 though so I try to angle driveways...

You are brave sir! My girlfriend is an equally anxious co-pilot. When entering unfamiliar intersections at speed she murmurs something like "umm, uhh....." and I have to say "While batman is driving, robin sits quietly and looks cute in his pantaloons" and then it goes south from there....

Sweet pics by the way.

Ha!! That's funny man. I can still remember my ex wife jumping out of my then very low mile 89 roadster when I guy backed into it at the movies. I thought she was going lay him out lol!

I cringe every time the front end of my GS scrapes the air dam, and I know its not really hurting anything, but still the noise makes me say damn it....or other choice words...my wife says the same thing. I even thought of trying to raise mine about 1/2 inch when they did the front end alignment recently.

Looks great! Such a beautiful color.

I'd like to do this but the combination of the side skirts and front splitter already make it look very low.

Yeah, I feel like I would scrape absolutely everywhere if I lowered haha. It can be a challenge already as is.

Thanks for the kind words! Love JSB as well (of course ).

Love the look. Here in PA the roads are so bad, I cringe driving with my height at stock.

I absolutely love the look!!

Unfortunately, like others have stated, I just cringe when I hear mine scrape and the roads in Chicagoland don't help the situation.

Has a nice look lowered, now watch out for those lousy speed bumps.
