According to Denso's website, the IK16 are the only available for the GS300. The SK16R11 is meant for the ES300/330.

Only the V8s have the option of either IK20 or SK20 for Iridiums.

I got the IK20 for my GS430. They claim it's a high performance spark plug. I don't feel any difference. They only last to 30k and is recommended to be changed then. Im switching back to the OEM SK20R11 which lasts 100k.

Gap is preset at 0.044". No need to touch them, but it would be nice to check them just in case.

Oh...FYI...torque spark plugs to 13 ft/lbs...thats what it says in the service manual.

OK...so for my 2001 GS300....I need the denso iridium long life plugs (3353) SK16R-P11? where can I get them at a great price?
