Default Two questions on 2001 GS300

Im thinking of buying a 2001 GS 300 in a couple of weeks...and I like to do my research before doing so...

Two questions that I could not figure out the answer to...

1) When I get it Im putting a set of 19" Racing Hart C4 wheels on it and Im thinking 245/35 up front and 275/30 on the rear...And I was planning on putting some Eibach springs on it to give it a better looking stans..
When I got on the Eibach website it says that they drop the GS 300 1.0" and the GS430 1.4" why the difference...?

2) I recently sold my 750rwhp Supra Turbo to get a 06 LS 430... so I really miss the power...Im thinking of eventually putting the 2jz-gte (supra twin-turbo engine) in the 2001 GS300 since I know that was an option for that car in Japan...or so I been told.

I know a couple of people have done it , and I was wondering if someone could tell me what all do you have to change when doing the swap. And if you could tell me an estimate of the cost it would be great.

Thanks in advance for the help guys.

1) maybe the gs400 is inherently a little bit heavier?
2) yes it's an option, but it won't be as easy. you need engine, probably tranny, and also ecu, etc... together with fitment problems.

2) Why would you want to swap the 2jz-gte in? Use what you and have and go from there. TT bottom end, side manifold, AEM, 74gts and 1000cc injectors and you are there .
