Default IS300 to sc400 coilovers question

Hey all,as the title state I was wondering if these BC Racing coilovers from my brother's IS300 would bolt up to my SC400. Dont want them going for scrap since they're still practically new & want to put them into good use.

Won't work without extensive modding.

Take off one only, and see.
You might have to do some modding, but you may get lucky, and it'll be easier than you think.
Eg: The length might be the same, so maybe all you'll have to do is bore out the size of the bolt/hole a little bit, or maybe just replace the top-mounts, something like that.
I'd like to see a pic, even if it doesn't fit, just to realize the difference.

Don't scrap them! sell em and buy some supra/sc coils for yours, gs/aristo will work but the rears dont go that low. If I remember right the is300 coilovers are like the mk3 supra and only the fronts will work
