Default Refresh kit question

Do Lexus IS, GS, and SC share the same upper control arms, lower control arms toe link etc.i know these cars share a lot of parts but i just want to do a complete refresh on my 2nd gen GS300 but it’s hard to find parts for it. So I’m asking if anybody knows just trying to verify.

Or, parts are available from pretty much every major auto parts retailer, or the dealership.

Some of the arms are shared with the SC430. But if it's the same part, how is it any easier to find?

Rock auto is a good source. You should be able to find plenty just searching for the GS. No need to mess around with possible fitment issues. Are you talking stock replacement, or is this as an excuse to buy all the aftermarket adjustable arms in all the bright colors and stuff lol?

Sc430 parts are overpriced. Like truegs300 said rockauto is a great place for those parts. I've replaced a lot of stuff on my sc430 and gs300. I can confirm that upper control arm bushing, lower ball joint, outter tie rod, inner tie rod, inner tie rod boot, sway bar link, sway bar(SC is smaller, gs300 fit for sc), lower control arm bushing. Are exactly the same as the gs300. They even have the same part number in RockAuto. Makes me feel like the SC430 is an overpriced gs300.
