2GS has (4) O2 sensors (3 on the header and 1 on the mid-pipe)......so those bungs....are they capped off? So there's no need to mount the (2)O2 sensors?

There are a total of four bungs in the header, one has a cap tack welded into place because it has fitment issues in the IS (chasis not sure about the GS), but thats why i added the other bung. the other cap shown is just screwed in for anyone not wanting to run the secondary o2's since you will need some sort of a simulator to not throw a check light w/ the header.

Are you willing to part with just the front springs?

Because I am going to get other springs that don't have such a big drop for the back. I need a nice drop for the front like the one these provide.

Yea I know I want 1" maybe less in the back. My rear is sitting pretty low with the subs and sub box and other junk I have in my trunk. I don't want rubbing when I ride people in the backseat.

They will fit under the 400, but there is going to be a weight change between 300 and 400, so it may change the drop. I always thought the aluminum v8 actually weighed less than the cast iron inline 6 by a few lbs, but i could be wrong on that one. here are the specs off the tananbe site.


GS300 98-05

spring rate (kg/mm) FRONT 6.4/ Rear 5.5

advertiesd Drop FRONT 1.8 / Rear 1.3

part number TGF024

MSRP $310.00

Yes the IS and GS stock headers are identical I'm just not sure if the O2 bung that hits on the IS would have hit on the GS either way its just moved in to the number 5 running to give it some extra space.
