Will 1st gen Gs suspension fit on 2nd Gen?

Hey guys, anyone out there ever try to install 1st Gen Gs (Jzs147) suspension on a 2nd Gen Gs (Jzs161)? If so does it work? Drawbacks if any? Thanks!

The fronts are a bolt in. The rears have a different lower perch.
How do I know ? Cause I have a set of jzs161 tein flex's on my jzs147. Fronts bolt on. The rear, I modifed the lower perch by cutting off the stock ones and welding them on. Then the upper rear mount I made my own but later found out that the supra rears work also.
