have you actually looked at the suspension? the control arms are different, and no suspension components from a non air ride GS300/aristo witll fit onto a air ride model.

your saying the suspension setup in a LS400 with air suspension is the same as a GS300 without air? they are not even close to the same.

if you could make it fit, you will need all new suspension. as the control arms/bushings/knuckle/sway bar links/ and so forth.

it would be easier/cheaper to buy a air ride kit for a GS300

im just looking to swap out the strut part of it, as long as the bag fits within the upper control arms and isnt to wide it will fit, if the upper control arms are to narrow and short than ill just throw in the ls ones, its not as complicated as you think, their both double wish bone just ls is air bags for springs... $120 for all four ill buy to resell anyway 350 each used on ebay.. dealer wants almost a grand each...

well if it's that cheap then why bother asking? seems like a pointless thread to me.

judging by how big my winter coilovers are, and they barely fit in the wishbone of the aristo in the front, and seeing how the celsior airbags are WAY bigger than my teins, it'll be a tight fit, IF the mounting is the same, and you can actually mount them in the GS
