Theres a full set of strut type bags for sale in the 1st gen section. If your going to do bags, then you dont need the supra struts since kyb makes a setup for our car already.
The shocks only absorb the shock, they dont hold the car up. The bags do that. Search user "supramangs" I just did the UAS bag kit on his 2nd gen.

KYB AGX does not make any shocks for the 1gen GS. Only the REAR of the supra, the 2nd GS does not have AGX aswell.
Any other brands? Oh, what did you mean that KYB makes a setup for our cars already?
thank you

Your right sorry. I meant KYB GR-2's they make those for the front and rear of the 1st gen. By setup I just meant front and rear shocks.

Kool, yeah GR2's are good shocks but I was looking for something more performance minded hehehe..Thats why I was looking for other suspension parts that fit our cars (besides getting coilovers).
Reason I wanted a more preformance minded is because if I put the AIR bag suspension, I would need a more shorter stroke shock, just like lowering a car with springs, isnt it the same?!
Please correct me if I am wrong...
thank you.

The shock will do the same thing with a bag that it does with a coil, to an extent. You should PM supramangs and see who he spoke with a UAS. They seem to be pretty helpfull, though there lack of instructions licked my ballz.

sometimes on ebay those japan importers have shock and spring set ups they dont offer in the us and i seen dampening adj. ones in the past...
iirc using the supra spring and shock is gonna slam your gs so when you bag it it may not go up very high

Hmm..Ill check bilstine to see if they do make rear shocks for the GS.
Thanks again!!
status: your right about the rear shock because supra's have shorter shocks to begin with..

I swear in these threads all I see is suspension parts, heater control valve from a 98 corolla fits, you just have to switch the bracket that holds it and use the lever from the original one

ALOT of little things and nick nacks from other Toyota's Lexus's interchange with the GS. Dunno where to begin. Window switch's. lol.
The lower control arm, the curvy one, interchanges with IS300 too. I've had these side by side, and they look identical, and I've sold the GS one to people seeking IS's and they never came back to return/exchange.
