Default Interchangable Suspension Parts: Parts that work on our chassis.

I think something like this has been delayed for a while, so I will take the initiative.

Here is a list of adjustable suspension parts that can be interchanged:

Parts from other platforms: CONFIRMED


-RCA's from 2nd Gen Aristo/GS Night Pager RCA's
-Front Upper Adjustable Arms from 2nd Gen Aristo/GS
-Front Spindle from X90,100,110-IS300-2nd Gen Aristo/GS
-Inner Tie Rod: JZZ30
-Ball Joint: JZS160
-Rear Swaybar Links: JZZ30


Parts from other platforms: UNCONFIRMED/IN TESTING-THEORY

-Front Lower Arm: X90 and IS300
-Front Tension Rod: X90 and IS300
-Rear Lower Arm: UZZ40-JZX110-SXE10-JZS161
-Rear Toe Arm: IS300
-Rear Sway bar and end links: Supra TT MKIV <--Unlikely, parts do not come close to stock ones. Only an installation picture set will confirm this.
-Rear camber bolt: 93~96 Camry/ES300


IF YOU KNOW MORE, PLEASE UPDATE THE LIST WITH PICS.

Thanks to RockAuto fro the pics and part numbers.

Parts comparison per vehicle. All parts shown are right side. If a model is missing from the picture set is because the part never even came close to look like a JZS147 part.

As soon as I get some parts I will start posting pics. Lets make this list the best list on the internet!

Update:

Heres something that hasn't been discussed! the rear RUCAs from the same year range SC/ soarers has the same part number (48770) as the JZS147.

One interesting setup I found: shortening the spindle 20mm, adding RCA's, then raise the coilover back up to set the suspension the geometry back to stock.

Benefits: lowering the car about 20mm without affecting the suspension's gemoetry

Also this is what RCA's are for:



Thanks for T3 for the pic!

as far as I know, no.

IS300 rear tie rods are a perfect fit; will get my megan ones next week to post pics and move it out of the UNCONFIRMED list.

I'm going to try the fronts next with IS300 ones after I can get more money from paint jobs LOL

The Supra TT rear sway will fit but will also need the control arm mounts. Front is definitely a no-go.

JZA80's and JZZ30's (Supra and Soarers) front coilovers fit, the rears need to be modified from the Supra; i dont know about the Soarers/SC rears. The downside of these coilovers is that the damping is a bit harsher and the coilover itself is way shorter than a coilover made specifically for our big heavy cars. If u want a car so slammed and rigid that is very hard to drive as a DD, go with these coilovers. I had Teins froma MKIV for about 6 months and I hated I couldn't raise the car enough to drive comfortably.

Indeed, I will include them in the list.
