Default Tein CST Coilover for '08 GS 450h

I'm doing some preliminary research to determine which Tein CST coilovers I should get for my GS 450h. According to Tein USA price list, the CST for both the GS 430 and GS 300 (both '06+) is part # GSL82-K1SS3. Looks like both have the same spring rate, which seems odd (ie: isn't the 430 with the V8 engine heavier, and thus a different spring rate is required? hmm...)

Anyhoo, can someone advise if this is the same part # I would need to order for my 450h? Any comments appreciated. Link below:

And if there are any 450h owners who have installed coilovers, please chime in and let us know which brand of coilovers you have, and how you like them.

that's not odd. first of all i thought the 430 is lighter? but either way the weight is relatively negligible

same with the 2gs, gs300 and gs400/430 all use the same tein setup
