As far as I know there's no difference between the GST and Spyder suspension. You can swap springs/coilovers between GST and GS, so I would think you can between Spyder and GS too... Not sure tho.

Check out places on the internet that sell suspension stuff. If they list coilovers for "all models" then it should work just fine. However, if you see a "all models, exept for Spyder" (or something like that) it might not work.

For what i know, they fit, but the only problem is spring rate, the Spyders are heavier cars, then the coupes. or that just for spring. doh!!! i hate having a reply and THEN really reading the Subject. LOL

I just found this at the tire rack, on the GS:

"For 2WD Models Only. Includes Turbo models. Does not include Spyder."

So, that sounds like the Spyder is different. When you search for Spyder instead of GS it comes up that it can't find anything.

I know for a fact that the actual suspension of a spyder and a gs or rs is the same in terms of fitment. However, like you said, there is a slight difference in weight, so it uses different spring rates. But when lowering, that shouldn't be a real issue since all lowering springs are so much stiffer than stock anyways. It should be cool...
