Hi CL members. I'm lookin at some JIC Magic coilovers that are coming from 94-97 GS300 but not knowledgable enough to know if they will fit on my SC300. I searched CL and Google'd and seems like its a fit. Can anyone confirm this for me? TIA!

Btw - Anyone have their own feedback with JIC coilovers?

You can't always expect a response in an hours time and bump it because of that.

But the answer to your question is no.

I know that the JZS147 (1st Gen GS/Aristo) coilovers will bolt up on the JZZ30 & JZA80 chassis. I've seen someone put them on a Supra.

Why can't it 'work' tho?

What really is the issue?

The design is the same so they will bolt up, however, I believe they are taller/longer than Supra/SC ones. With that said, your car will not be lower like you would expect when installing coilovers. The upside, if you have a 1st gen GS, you can lower it using stock SC suspension.

Or slam it with SC coilovers.
