No they are completely different.
Tell us what you are trying to do and we can help. We now have 4 designs to fit the 147 and 160.

Hi Mike,

Having lowered the car on HSD coils I need a way to correct the camber. So I want to replace the camber bolts and was looking at adjustable upper arms for the front.

The reason for shorter spindles is to stop the top arm hitting the upper inner arch when low. But I've since raised it a little to counter that issue.

Just to let everyone know I'm in the UK

Can someone recommend replacement/interchangeable brake pads and brake rotors for my JZS147. I'm not looking for SUPRA OR LS400 at the moment, I've searched and haven't really found anything.

Just want to be sure not to order wrong parts. I have Toyota/Lexus part numbers for the actualy Aristo JZS147. I know US GS300 rotors are smaller.

Can anyone confirm? Thanks!

Do a search on eBay. There's plenty on there for the JZS147.

Has anyone used Supra replacement struts with 1st gen GS300 springs? I would like to use the Supra KYB struts instead of the junk they sell for the GS. I read that the rear needs to be modified to fit, but have also seen that it doesnt. If it needs modified, what needs modified? Also, the rear spring perch is 0.7in lower, which is fine, but what about the front? Is it lower on the supra struts as well? if so, how much? My 93 has 410k miles currently and is my dd and is due for struts.

Hey Guys,

Looking for Rear Toe Arms on my 1994 Toyota Aristo 3.0V.

I saw posted earlier in this thread that the SC300 ones are a direct fit. Any info on GS200/IS300 ones?

Thanks,.

Hello,

While SC300 arms are direct fit, IS300 has a different platform, so those will not fit, at least not without a fight. As for GS200, the only one in existence is a 4th-gen, where they switched platforms altogether, so unfortunately, those control arms are also out of consideration.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

Hi, I am back. Long story short, someone crashed my car (front end, truck backed up), a couple family tragedies and a bad car accident later, and I am back. My JZS147 had to go on storage, someone vandalized it at the storage place, so got it back and I am ready to start working on it. This will be a track car now, no interior, cage, LS2 Turbo. Trying to remember everything I know about this chassis... but glad is back on the build list

Hey guys I can confirm the 2gs front sway bar doesn't fit. Sc300 rear does.
One guy on another threat said the 2gs front does however so I went ahead and baught one to learn it doesn't! He also mentioned there's apparently heaps of aftermarket options for the 147 anyone able to point me in the right direction or am I just 10years or so to late?
Can anyone else confirm if it's possible to make the 2gs front bar fit somehow? (2gs bar is different shape and shorter so maby with different links?
or is there a sway bar from something else that fits?
