Hey Angelo, It's good to see you on the forums.

SC300/400 suspensions do "fit" on the 1GS, BUT have shorter amount of travel. The stock SC300 shocks and spring are about 1.5 inch shorter in the front and almost 3 inches lower in the rear.

if the whole subframe fits, does that also mean sway bars for an sc will work on the gs?

Yessir! MKIV supra sway bars fit as well with the appropriate subframe mounts. The sc300 sway bar is supposed to be 1mm thicker but the shape is the same.

Sweet! I also heard the SC mounts will work, is this becuase they are the same as the supras? Its easier to find an SC than a supra in my area. Also Pix please!!

Here's a couple of shots of the TT swaybar on my GS. I also used the stock TT mounts and endlinks.





The mounts on the Sub-frame mounts are clearly visible.

Here's a good thread that documents the difference

so SC coilovers will fit on the GS? now are there any benefits to this? performance wise, not like cost or availability. or are the GS coilovers recommended. cuz im in the market for some coils finally, and i need more options then expensive JICs and Teins. i know megans...but eh not a huge fan.

I've tried to use SC coilovers on the GS. Compression in a pothole is fine but when it rebounds there isnt enough travel. You will end up over extending the shock. I'm sure on nice flat roads in CA it should be fine, but not here in NY. If you are looking for a more affordable coilover, try looking for BC Racing coilovers. I have them and they perform very well without sacrificing the ride.

Ah i see, ok forget the SC ones then ill go with GS ones. Im looking for coils that can handle track use. you think the BC ones could take the track well enough?
