I'm taking a guess here (it's somewhat educated) but I say NO.

I would say no also. It has been my experience that coilovers use shorter coils in conjunction with the threaded shock/strut bodies to achieve greater drops.

gs430ondubz,
Are you talking about the auction on E-bay for the H&R coilovers without the springs? I saw that. I also have a GS400 on 20's with the H&R drop. I e-mailed the guy asking if I can put my springs on that setup. He never e-mailed me back. Honestly, I think "mumbles" is right when saying that the spings are shorter to manage a lower drop. I'd think twice before getting those, or check with an experienced shop in your area. If you want, I know a shop in Tampa, FL that you can probably call and find out. He knows his sh*t when it comes to GS's. The shop's name is Racing Zone Auto House and the number is (813) 873-2235. Give them a call and see what they say, but I don't think it will be compatible.

I hope that helps!!!!

I think if you are going with H&R coilovers, might as well get the matching H&R springs. Less problem.
