i'm was browsing thru the site regarding these springs from tanabe...and stumbled upon there being two kinds for the 2nd gen GS.

GS300 - 1.8/1.3 drop
GS400/430 - 2.0/1.5 drop

interested to know if anyone has chosen the lower drop of the V8's springs and used them on the GS300 model, or any input/info in this route for getting the max lowering from springs.

 

any input???

 

from the Tanabe website, the front springs on the GS400/430 will be stiffer due to the engine's weight. the rear spring rates are identical for both the GS300 and GS400/430.

only downfall I can see in using the GS400/430 springs on my GS300 is a harsher ride up front...but how much harsher is the question


here are the specs:

GS300
-Drop: F1.8 R1.3
-Spring Rate: F6.0 R5.6

GS400/430
-Drop: F2.0 R1.5
-Spring Rate: F7.3 R:5.6


Ideally, I would love to have the fronts off the V8 and the rears off the I6 set as my sub enclosure would surely level things out.

 

synsei is runnin that df setup on his 300. i donated them to him off my gs4...i'm sure he can help with ur questions. here's a link to his thread
