however it is a beast out of the box with coils. it doesnt take too much to be a fun track car once the 2j swap is done. just some suspension arms to tighten things up, and some rear solid subframe bushings. I did an estimate on what it would take, and you can do it for under 15 with the car and an almost stock TT swap. gs's are going cheap these days

i have some spare 1gs front hubs if you want them for mocking up/modding anything. just spare parts left over from my jdm 2j swap.... not sure if they will help you with 2gs tho. also, arent some is300 suspension parts usable with the 2gs?

The front lower LCA is close, but its just different enough. Toe and Trac links seem to be close enough and the rear lower LCA is 1" longer that the IS.

I'm interested as well..

I just got myself a gs3 and was wondering what we can do to increase steering angle. (for drifting purpose)

I see that caster arm is going to be the next issue once we do achieve more angle though..

ok, the URAS Toyota steering up spacers are only like $10 and increase angle a lot!!!! I'm actually scraping rim and tire on the caster arm and on the lip that supports the upper control arm. I'm pushing FIGS to get the high-steer LBJ out, but I'm already experiencing clearance issues with only the URAS spacers upgrade. I guess I'll have to go negative offset...

I've been getting sick of bump steer from lowering my car so I've been eyeing these...

if so, that looks sweet since I'm worried about the lower ball joint than the outer tie rod end.

if your concern is bump steer and that only, go with rca.
figs kit changes mounting point of tie rod ends so that steering angle goes beyond stock angle. Also it makes steering relatively faster.

I've been looking at the ones for JZX110, does anyone know whether we share same knuckles with JZX110?

hmm.. so even URAS(I'm guessing URAS ones are 5mm?) will hit the caster arm? what size/width/offset are you running?

I just got myself a gs300 for drift purposes and I've done stance coilovers and 19x9.5 22 in front. I see there are very limited room(like you said)..

wow. bump steer with 30mm RCA? you must be low.
Your next option would be those tie rod ends. but find out how much taller those rod ends are compared to stock ball joints so you don't have problem with having the rod angled up or downward viewed from front of the car.
