Stephen,

We have not test fitted the coilover kit on a AWD GS300, so fitment is not guaranteed. The kit was developed on the 2WD, and information listed on our website is for the 2WD version. In some cases 2WD and AWD models will have different suspensions. In cases in which the suspension is of the same design, the ride height information and drop range will be different. If you are in the So. California area, please let us know as we may be interested in test fitting the vehicle. Or if you know of any other persons with the same 2006 AWD GS300 and are interested in TEIN suspension, please have them contact us.

So, the kit currently available for 06 GS300 may not fit, or ride height information may differ, and/or quality of ride/ performance cannot be determined.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us.


Best regards,
Sales

I wonder if I should try using the TEIN c/o's or just go with the Tanabe NF210's. What do you guys think?
The front suspension configuration for the AWD is different than the RWD, I don't think you can use the RWD c/o setup, it won't fit. Remember, the AWD front shocks/struts have a curve at the bottom to accomodate the front drive shafts. The RWD shock/struts are straight.

The aftermarket coiil springs are very much compatible between the AWD and RWD becasue they fit in the shock/strut mounts and the curb weight and weight distribution is similar to the GS430.
