As for ride quality the NF210 the spring rate is only 5% above stock. For best ride quality and a tasteful drop.

Tanabe will ask Japan and let me know regarding the factory AVS

Is this group buy only for the 3GS.

Can the 2nd GS population join in on the savings ?

Quoting Tanabe these are the mildest springs and designated "Comfort" type,based on my past experiences with Comfort type coil-overs and springs from other companies I would say it would be similar to a 15-20% overall stifness factor since your using stock shocks.

All questions are being relayed to Tanabe Japan for input and answers

Steve, any update on whether or not these are compatible with the AWD GS version? I'm anxious to put my order in.

If these will fit my '06 GS 430 with my 20" Davin 6.1 Revolutions and 255/30/20 & 275/30/20 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires I would be interested in a set.

They will fit, but you can measure your current gap and see the lowering specs on the first post to make sure
