Thanks for this thread. I will be looking into making arms for the Gen GS as well based on my other parts. If anyone wants to help by sending me worn out arms, it would accelerate devlopment.

Thanks,
Fig

cool! glad to help! i am also looking into the soarer arms! i heard they are physically the same but the part number changes because of the bushings, etc.

also can someone help find some camber adjustable RUCAs? maybe some SC ones? thanks!!

looking at those two diagrams, the rear toe arms are the same # too

which would make these fit? no? If the IS300 is just a theory then these seem to be a solid, confirmed set-up. This may save headaches. I'm going to order them today, and if they fit, then i'll report back, but all seems to be good.

edit: i just DISSECTED the two diagrams. It looks like the rear toe arms, traction bars and even springs and struts are allll the same part number (which would lead me to believe the supra/sc300 rear suspension issues arise from the different lower control arms) the sway bars are the same, the sway bar links are the same, even 90% of the bolts and nuts are the same!

edit #2: Front lower control arm is the same part #, front sway bar, mounts and links is/are the same part number.

Also, in case anyone cares, even though it's not a suspension part, pretty much the entire exhaust is the same, including mufflers, which companies like megan make aftermarket versions of.

I am pretty sure the sc toe arms are confirmed! I can order them when I get home! As for the IS parts, to my understanding the JZS147 shares suspension with the JZZ30 where the JZS161 had the suspension downgraded to the IS psrts in the rear! I know someone running IS RUCAs on a 161

What we need is a list of parts to play with! I can't find any RUCAs for the SC! Also I have read that the soarer RUCAs are physically the same and that only bushings, etc. And that's why the part number changes!

Guys I went to a yard yesterday and i'm almost 60 percent sure that the upper control arm, spindle, and lower balljoint from a 1ls can fit in our 1GS's, but to confirm, ill pick these up someday during next.week just to confirm, don't know how useful that is
