Default Parts from other cars that Fit ours.

Lets come up with a list. So far I know that the brakes from the Ls400 and MKIV Supra fit ours, but what else.

seats, aftermarket stuff, etc

Great Thread!

LS400 Calipers need to be shaved in the rear as well as shaving of the lower control arm for them to fit.

The entire rear sub-frame is interchangable with 92-00 SC300/400s (Upper Control Arms, Lower Control arms, Diff, Axles, etc..)

2Nd Gen GS front struts
MKIV Rear struts (They apperar to be 2 inches shorter)

so just to confirm..

1gen GS300 will be able to use 2nd gen GS300/400 front shocks and 93-98 Supra rear shocks?

If that is the case, I might do that since there are more options out there rather than just KYB GR2...

please confirm that it has been done

Thank you very much for the confirmation.

Hmm...what company makes shocks that I can make a combo so that it can fit my GS?

I searched on ebay and found Bilstine for fronts and AGX for rear.

Does AGX make one for all 4 corners?

Im pretty sure KYB makes the AGX's for both applications.
What are you going to do for springs though ?

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.
