2Nd Gen Gs300 Lowering Springs

Recommended Posts

Afternoon all,

I've got 2 cracked front springs on my gs sport, so looking at replacement springs all round. From what I gather the sport spec was lowered by 25mm when compared to std car, I can get lowering springs at 25mm and 35mm I tempted to go for the latter however it only shows the 35mm springs fit the 1st gen vs but according to Sewell Lexus parts diagram the springs both front and rear are the same part numbers no matter which gen you compare them to 1993 right through to 2004.

Can anyone tell me if there are any issues with this, as my understanding is that if the part numbers are the same then the aftermarket springs are made to the same alignment on the strut seats just a shorter coil.

Many thanks in advance

Sam

Seems odd that Sewell is showing the same part numbers, the part numbers I've got are not the same. From what I remember the struts are different on the gen 1 and 2 cars, so I don't think they are interchangeable (I've changed the springs on my gen 1 and 2 cars but the gen 1 was a while ago now).

I don't think the series I and II have identical springs. The sport is something else anyway, it was modified outside of Japan using TTE parts. It is 99% likely that the sport springs are the same as the Eibach aftermarket lowering springs, they are certainly made by Eibach.
