Did you get ur front STB yet? I'm dying to find out if it's all safe to use spacers on a GS300, and about the hood-clearance.

It clears the hood... But I have Tein "Flex" coils and I didn't lift the frontend off the ground to release the presure from the struts and I ended up only having alttle bit of thread to work with so I decided to wait till I had more time.. But it does clear...

I heard from a guy in Taiwan with a GS300 that if you use 3 spacers with the TRD stb, it'll clear the engine but it'll hit the hood. I guess TOM's sits lower.

Did I notice a change with the Tom's STB's? Unfortunately, I also changed the settings on the HA's at the same time, from 0/0 to 8/4 [F/R], so it's tough to attribute a specific difference. The car is taking rough roads, rail road tracks & generic bumps pretty hard now, though. I may lower the tire pressure a bit and see if that makes a difference.
But it handles like it's on rails!
And I love the progressive way the S-03's break traction, it's so easy to correct.

wassup guys. Just to let you know, I have the TOM's on my GS300, and yes, you need a total f 3 spacers on each side, and it doesn clear both the hood and the intake manafold. Barely, but it clears! 
Hope that helps Globe! PeAcE!

Not sure if I mentioned this before but as you might know there is no way your going to fit that peice of plastic that you call a enginecover with any STB on a GS300...... The engine sits too high.

BEWARE!!!!!!
Hey guys, Update..... Do not put the Front STB on with 2 spacers. You have to use 3.. I had only 2 on and it was resting on a hose and the piece that the hose was on broke,
and now my check engine light is on.. I just came back from Lexus and there going to fix mine under warranty... But if one of yours breaks I don't know if the dealer will fix it without you coming out of your pocket... So if you only have 2 spacers on your GS300 you need to make it 3....
