Default Pic Request

Odd request, but...does anyone have a pic of the top shock plates on a 2ng gen GS. Looking for a bird's eye view of the shocks when not installed. Preferably coilover pics.

Pics of front and rear would be great.

Well, i haven't been here all that long, but i thought the JZS147 was the first gen 93-97 and the JZS160 and 161 was the second gen 98+, then the newest models that are you now.

Please correct me if i'm wrong......again, I am new to the LEXUS thing.

Where are you getting those numbers from? Did you see them in the pictures in the thread I posted?

Default confusion

e-man,
I think i see where the confusion is at. The link that you sent is for a 2nd gen obviously. But the link i attatched here...
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...id=81209&stc=1

...was the picture of a 1st gen JZS147. I used that pic only to represent the TYPE of pic i was looking for. At least the thread where i took that pic from indicated they were 1st gen.

Now, the link that you sent of your 2nd gen parts....question: the top mounts that you had a pic of, were those from the rear or fronts? This pic: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...id=79652&stc=1

If that's for the front, then i just need to find out what the bolt pattern in the rear looks like. I know it sounds weird, but it's a long story behind it.

Sorry for the confusion,
Kyle

So, for the last 30 minutes, I have been cross-checking the part numbers on the boxes with the part numbers on the lexus-parts.com web site. You really had me going there for a while. Here's the weird thing -- the part numbers on the boxes don't exactly match the actual part numbers on the parts themselves. For example, for the front shocks, the boxes say 48510-80236, but the actual shock is marked 48510-30700. With respect to the rear shocks, the boxes are marked 48530-80239 and the shocks are marked 48530-30640. Makes no sense.

Anyway, back to your question, the strut caps are for the front. I don't have the strut caps for the rear. So, after all of that, I guess I was of no help to you.

This forum is always helpful.

I'm just 1/2 way right now. Just need to see a pic of the rear mounts now.

Thanks again...
Kyle.
