Getting series I sport parts is very difficult these days. Only standard vehicles were produced at the factory and Lexus GB were modifying them on import using locally sourced components, hence you cannot get springs and wheels etc. from Japan and aren't listed on many parts databases.

For the series II sport, Lexus used Eibach springs, not sure who supplied the series I.

My other option is to buy a full set of lowering springs

From a 'good practice' viewpoint you should be replacing coilsprings in pairs so a full set might be a worthwhile option TBH. 

It's the same with shocks - if you have a worn one on one side and a new one on the other it can compromise handling.  Best to keep things equal when it comes to suspension.

I've no experience with the GS300 but it's the same with most cars so thought it worth mentioning.  Good luck with the search!
