Default 2is suspension compatibility?

Hi everyone, I’ve done a little research and understand the suspension was revised from the 2is but only read it was revalved / tuned and with softer springs. Does anyone happen to know if the front and rear are physically interchangeable between 2nd gen and 3rd or current gen. Is250 /350s?

Thanks- Bryan

Default More googling..

I read it has an all new multipoint rear suspension so I guess they are completely different. Pictures of rear coil overs look like the rear of the 2is springs are on the shocks where the 3is rear spring sits elsewhere?

Please correct me if I’m wrong.

thanks..

I know the front upper control arms are the same. I used a 3is FUCA on my 2is

I heard somewhere the taper on the ball joint is actually different.

But to the OP
Everything is different. I dont think 1 thing carries over from 2nd gen to 3rd gen

Default Thanks guys!

Thanks for the responses guys.. I was hoping to put a set of 3is coilovers on my 2is. After reading about how 3is is wider with all new suspension I’m doubting it will work.
