Ahhhh Man! That sucks because I really like the way those seats look. Oh well, just gotta go out and buy new leather for the seats I have now. Thanks for trying it out

Bumping an old thread:

Has anyone figured out a way to make the sc seats electronics work in a GS? A buddy of mine, wants my old sc seats for his GS. I've told him that they will bolt up, but wasn't sure if it will move due to the pins being different.

Many have done it, I personally run stock sc300 suspension on my gs and like the drop. Although the 3" catback scrapes just about everywhere!!!

I want to see what MKIV suspension drop would look like on a 1GS. I bet it would look pretty nice. Maybe even a set of lowering springs to make it look nice.

Haha, Thanks man! Please post up pics when you get it done! I really want to know what it looks like! I bet it will be decently low, and still have a good ride!

Default GS on TT suspension

I have searched the forum still havent found anyone who installed oem suspenion from a TT Supra......Well I did and here are the results. I am not sure of the rear shocks were busted but it slammed the rear and the front maybe dropped and inch. I suspect that because the GS is heavier in the rear than the Supra that the might be the culprit. I ending up having to install lifters on my rears so I wouldnt rub my tires to death and ultimately taking off my 19s and run my stocks its all good though.
So to remedy the front I installed some Teins and it gave the front end the look I was going for. I am definitely going to install coilovers in the near future but tell me what you think?

So would 93-98 Supra springs fit into a 2nd Gen GS300?
