Default Will a 2003 auto is300 lsd rear end bolt up with a 1999 lexus gs300

I'm sure this question has been asked before but couldn't find a for sure answer as to if it would work. I have a 1999 lexus gs300 and want to get a closed diff in it. Wanted to know if the lsd rear diff of an is300 will bolt right up or if there are just minor things to get it to work

No, I was digging on this too. It is different. The LS and SC will, but none with LSD.

The last gen Supra will, but everyone says to use a Twin Turbo Auto. Not sure why not the manual, except maybe the very short gear ratio.

I was also wondering if the guts of the IS rear will work, but I think I finally found that they are also smaller.

What I haven't clarified is if any of the truck diffs will work that are LSD. Likely not going to be torsen, but at least a clutch type.

I would like to get a torsen myself. I just find I need the grip now and then.
