Default Question about IS parts fitment on 2GS

I was looking into getting some adjustable rear toe arms and rear traction rods for my GS. They only seem to sell them for the IS300 however. I know that visually the parts look identical, but are they interchangable?

hmmm....well my girl has an IS300, I guess I should measure and see if they are the same. Anyone here have the traction rods?

The length isn't what is important on ADJUSTABLE arms.

if the general shape is the same and the range of adjustment is enough to make them as short as stock (at least) then they'll work fine.

well for argument sake, if the length differs 12" on the 2 different arms, and the adjustability does not allow for 12" of adjustment...than that would be a problem. I am pretty certain the mounting locations are identical in shape...I just need to know how much different in length they are.

right, thats why I said if there is enough range of adjustment so that it can at least compare to stock, you should be ok.

Good luck
