Default 2nd Gen GS Tanabe springs on an SC430???

So, can someone confirm?

I can get new Tanabe lowering springs for a '98-'05 GS 300/400/430. Will it fit the SC430, as both models share the same chassis?

Some say I can, but part of me is still doubtful.

From what I have heard the springs will fit but the rear shocks from the GS will not fit on our SC’s

As far as coilovers go I am running Tein CS coilovers for the GS model

A buddy of mine had bought CS' from Henry a long time ago..I compared them with a set of CS' I use to have for a GS..Both are the same from the exterior.

I do believe the 2SC has stiffer dampening in the back; due to the weight of the top
