Will F-Sport shocks for the GS350 fit the GS450h?

Default Will F-Sport shocks for the GS350 fit the GS450h?

I am planning to change the shocks on my 2009 3rd Gen GS450h and was considering if the aftermarket F-Sport shocks for the 3rd gen GS350 would fit my car. My GS450h only has AVS and does not have the adjustable sway bar function.

The only difference seems to be the engines and the AVS in my GS450h.

The problem is that lexuspartsnow doesn't consider the F-Sport shocks a fit for my car.

If I were content to forgo the adaptive suspension function in my car, are there still some practical/mechanical reasons why F-Sport shocks meant for GS350 will not fit the GS450h?

PS :

If anyone has fitted F-Sport struts for their 3rd Gen GS, I would love if they gave their personal experience with those shocks. Was the ride harsh and do small road bumps become unacceptably noticeable?

Technically, the 450h weighs more so that's probably why they're not specified for it.

I'm curious to see if anyone has installed them on a 450h as well, I have a set of megan racing springs that I will eventually try out on my 450h and see what happens.
