is300/gs300 diff into gs430?
since the ratio is better for accel (3.9 vs the supras 3.7 or 430's 3.2), will an is/gs300 diff with the lsd bolt up? Anyone try this?

in theory, i could put in a kaaz lsd and reap benefits? Even with wider rear tires you think traction would be a problem?
I think this mod, with the proper support mods, could make a very potent combination.

Nope, dif is different. IS300 uses a Chaser JZX 100 rear dif whereas the GS400/300 use the Supra rear dif. Try a Kaaz or ATS Carbon LSD for the appropriate model and a torque converter to get best results.

I wanted the 3.9 diff instead of the 3.7, so since the gs300 diff bolts up, i could get an lsd that would match that and use it right?
I've heard good things with accel, bad with mileage bout this swap. Just seein all options.

To clarify for you guys ( and this has been covered 10X or more)
- NO 2GS ever came with LSD (except some JDM aristo TT)
- GS300 diff bolts in ( you may need to swap the pinion flange) ratio is too low if you do highway much
- MKIV supra AUTO TT ( and also note - NOT ALL supra TT's have LSD)
