Default Will sc300/400 coilovers fit my 90 ls400?

After Google search after Google search I can't find any answers and everything I find is from 2009 or older, doing a budget build on a 1990 ls400 I managed to pick up for 300$ that only needed a water pump and ac recharge. I have the opportunity to pick up some used Ksport coilovers from an sc300 for 500$ and wanna know if anyone's tried them on a first gen ls400? I know the second gen ls400 coilovers are shorter than first gen and gs/is suspension is similar to its matched year, but have been unsuccessful on my searches for this... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

No. Won't fit, And if you make them fit, hey won't work properly or be valved well.

You have it backwards, 2LS-specific coilovers have longer stroke and won't work properly on 1LS, but the vast majority of cheap coilovers are made for UCF1x cars, including Megan/Godspeed/etc....
The only "true" 2LS coilovers include the old JIC, Tein, Tom's, and a couple others.
