Default Suspension interchange options?

I've been searching like crazy, but I can't seem to find any answers. Do any other Lexus models suspension components swap over to the LS? After looking around for awhile, it would appear that SC430 coilovers are very similar to LS430 coilovers, but I can't be 100% on that. Any info would be greatly appreciated guys and gals.

Why would you want to? Unless you have the SC parts already, I don’t see the point. Also consider the Ls is a larger and heavier car

Mainly, just curious. There doesn't seem to be a ton of suspension options available for the LS430 and the coilover options don't seem to have much of an adjustability range. I figured with the LS being a heavier car, using SC coilovers may actually sit the car down a little lower. Just thoughts in my head. I've had to do that on other vehicles in the past, but I'm a Lexus noob. Don't want to do anything to tear the car up.

Does anyone have any further info on this. Came across a good set of low mileage coilovers for a ls430 and wondering if they’re compatible with the sc430.
