Default GSh rear wheel gap question
Does the 450h have less wheel gap in the rear than the other RWD GS's? Has anyone measured if there is a difference? It seems to me it must with the additional battery weight.

The design of the rear suspension would've factored in the extra weight being carried, so as to retain the same level of comfort and shock absorber travel as the petrol engine only models.

Are the rear springs in the GSh different from the other RWD GS's?
