Default New JDM Aristo Vertex Owner

Hey, guys just bought a 99 Aristo Vertex edition completely stock with 114,xxx km on it. Ive always wanted to buy a supra MKIV but never really liked how unpractical it was especially here in Canada but I love the engine ever since I was a teenager, so I bought this Aristo Vertex V300.

Great Car! but now I want to mod it, BIG Question is I know the GS300 is kind of the same platform as the Aristo, so do the parts such as suspension, and all that exterior modifications fit the same? As well for BPU upgrades to the 2jz gte engine, should I be getting the same parts from a JDM supra, not looking to go full out, just I.H.E, increase boost and tune. If any one of you guys can cue in here that would be great. And same for maintenance problems. I can't seem to find a sticky here about Aristos and GS's.

Thanks for the help!

100% exactly the same car except for engine and transmission as GS300. Oh, and you might have some trim differences etc

Yeah I was just wondering about the wheel and suspension specs, can't find many build threads for aristos on here, so if I can follow some of the specs from a gs300 that would be AWSOME!
planning to keep the motor stock for a while anyways
