Default SC Suspension Parts on GS

Just wondering if any of the first gen SC parts are interchangeable with the first gen GS's. I know the main struts are interchangeable along with brakes, seats ect., and a few other parts. But anyone have a full list of stuff interchangeable. I'm mostly looking towards all the arms and rods.

I love the leather SC seats and they are so thin,
in compared to the sofas installed in the Aristo's / GS300's.

I had a SC before and thought the seat assy
would be too low for the GS300 ???

Is it, or does the bum height remain close to the same as the GS300 ?

The coils may fit, but they won't drop the same distance and the spring rates are different.

From TEIN:

The Supra differs from the GS300 not only in chassis, but in overall length of the shock assemblies, shock stroke, as well as the inner diameter and spring rate of the springs that are utilized on the kits. For all of these reasons, your safety could be compromised if a retrofit was attempted.

That only applies to the shock and spring.I already knew the spring rates and the stroke and length were different.

But when I said other suspension parts. I'm referring to less complex parts like upper and lower arms and ect. Because I know the SC has a decent amount of suspension parts available for it but the GS its pretty slim pickings

Oh, then no. The upper arms on the SC use a single bolt and the GS uses a double system. The lowers are different as a well.
