I am almost certain the suspension on a LS wont work on a GS. You need to find a 98-05 suspension. What kind of coilovers do you have on there now. I might be interested in the coilovers and I have stock suspension of 00 gs

Never heard that before. I also never seen parts listed as fitting both applications. Based on this I will say No, it is not true.

some coilover systems have adjustable dampening...you must look at the top of the coilover if there is a dial to turn from hard to soft setting.
