Just in case Tony. Although they will fit, the GS and SC balance is not the same. If you look at the spring rates of the same coilovers for the two cars, they are different.

Tein RA's from a 99 GS400. 5 months old. includes wrenches. reason for sale: parental units won't ride in my GS because they don't like the stiffer ride, so i've had to go with the softy CS's instead or risk being disowned

i originally had these sold but the buyer backed out so here i am again... i think the new price was around $1500-1600usd retail? someone correct me if i'm wrong.

selling for $900usd+shipping.

Your right, totally. The Tein CS for the SC430 has a 10/6 spring ratio of front/rear. The blistein PSS are 12/8 and lee said that they rode very well, better than the tom's advox he has now. Which leads me to believe that the tein HA should also work ok which has a ratio of 14/10 but also a very harsh daily driver ride. This is just a guess though

Be careful with the ratio though. Although the HA springs are 14/10, the system is different than the CS. If you look at the CS rates for the SC, it is 10/6 as you say but is 9/8 for the GS.
