Default just found out !!!

I just found that the TEIN HIGH TECH is for gs400/430 they don't make one for the gs300...its nott a big deal but the drop is little different due to weigth of the cars gs300 to a gs4xx ...just found out from steve and the guys from TEIN....so thats the news ... but yeah you can use the it for ur gs300 no problem in fitment or anything else just to drop might be different then stated.

from edmunds:

Curb Weight: 3715 lbs. for gs430
Curb Weight: 3649 lbs. for gs300

the extra 60lb makes that much of a diff?

really thats all 60lbs lol...i thought it would of been like 100-150lbs different but iff that is it then it shouldn't make a big different at all.....then why don't TEIN just say its for a gs300 to instead of saying its only for the 400's......because we know there is no different in suspension setups

The GS400/430 have aluminum blocks and the GS300 has a cast iron block, therefore they weigh about the same.

yup, personally i don't know why at all. coz' you see them listing the CS, flex, and HA, all for the gs3/4/430, then why would this case be different?
