It seems like a good idea to stock up on these...

I'll contact Steve and see what he can do for us . The TM offices were just down the street from Carson, so he may be more easily able to contact them.

Anyway, I think the I6 in the GS300 is more than capable and very smooth for daily street driving. I do know is limitations though so I don't go looking for trouble too often.

Another car with TM that I've driven was Jawnthen's. It's a GS4 and noticeably had more pep than my car. Jawn's car actually was loaded with stuff in the trunk when I tested it so there's a weight penalty. Even so, the car jumps at the slightest press of the throttle. My GS4 just don't respond like that.

So DaveGS4 - if you can get another set from Steve, will you get them and put them in?
I'm still amazed you change plugs every 25K!

Steve is up for the group buy and said he was in contact with the vendor just a couple of weeks ago. He said it does usually take more than two weeks turnaround for an order with TM Chuck, so you might want to reschedule for a month out if you really want these or have them do everything except the plugs.

I also need a set for my 1999 GS 300.
I need some pretty quick, so the sooner the beter. Hoping to have them in in 3 weeks.
Is this reasonable?
BTW, how much will they be?

I'd ask when you place your order if that's do-able (get air shipping rather than ground).
Steve is working out the details now (like price) and I'll put a new GB entry in the approved vendors forum. I'll also post here so folks know it's out there.
