Supra coilovers will not fit a 2ndGen GS. The rear Supra shock has a fork design, while the GS is using a bushing.

The 1stGenGS has a similar shock design to the Supra, but the rear GS shock is longer than the Supra.

Thanks!

You probably can install the LS400 or Supra front shocks on a GS300, but the valving /demping force may not be suitable for the GS.

Also, height may be different, i.e. i expect the LS400 fronts to be longer than the GS so probably you may not be able to drop your GS enough.

For installing only LS400 or Supra fronts,the car may be unbalanced, and the ride may be even worse than stock.

brakes will fit, but you may need spacers.
