LS400 was the first Lexus flagship car. The GS300 was called toyota Aristo and only the later models are called Lexus GS300 and exported to US.

Because they can afford new ones when they seize up. I've never been a fan of Tein's ever since the 3 sets I've owned all froze, started leaking or just plain sucked. Some of these cheaper brands and chinese knock offs are better quality than them. Probably the reason I'm going with Stance's.

Depends on what the purpose I guess, I had tein on my previous cars and they are good for daily, I love how you can have the EDFC and control the ride quality. That I think is more useful than any track ready coilovers for daily. Of course if you go to tracks every weekend, I would probably go for something more built for the purpose.
