Default L-Tuned Shocks and Springs Combo

NEW set of shocks, and spring set with 5K miles. Probably selling the car, so have no need for these. $375 + shipping. I'm in the Bay Area. Thanks!

Drop's ~1", front and rear. No clue on the spring rate. The ride is similar to stock. Do a search, there are many writeups on the ride.

Don't have pics on the car (shocks are NIB), but here's a pic of them out of the box:

Actually it lowers 1" in rear and 1.3" in front, my shop measured before install...
Ride quality is awesome, it is stifffer but hardly noticeable. Just can't wait to get my GS back from the shop.

Your results may vary Most of the posts I've read say drop's around an inch. Some say 1 1/4". I believe the factory spec said 20mm, which is ~8/10". Some also say there's more of a drop in the front, which is probably more likely with a 400/430 than a 300.

Thanks, but I'd like to sell the entire setup as a package.

What did you pay for the shocks and struts new? Also confirm these will fit a 2002 gs430. Any other GS goodies you are trying to unload?

Thanks for the info.
