Default 2nd Gen on 3rd Gen springs & shocks

I have a set of L-tuned springs and OEM shocks from a 2008 GS350. Anyone know if they will fit a 2nd Gen GS?

thanks,
Kareem

I guess you can be the first to try it and report back here to share if it's plausible.

From just eye-balling the Tein CS (2GS) and the OEM F-Sport springs (3GS) next to each other for quick comparison...
the rear is VERY similar, bolt pattern looks same need to measure and true test fit to be sure.... i think it'll fit nice as for ride height.....well see.

the front shocks bolt pattern look the same, but 3GS shock body looks LONG when compared to my newly acquired Tien CS.

Might just work....
