Supra Parts for LS?

Okay so i have a 99 LS and have heard that supra front strut bars and brake kit(with conversion bracket?) will fit the LS. SO my question is what other parts are interchangeable? im guessing it may be easier to find aftermarket or replacement parts. sway bars, control arms/rods, rear strut bar, rear differential, etc?

i contacted them but they said i would have to buy the whole set not just the turns =\

and yes, mkiv supra
supra calipers also fit with brackets but i think thats about it. As far as i know, only those 2 parts are interchangeable

Bummer, i really want those corners. Before you did your set, my passenger sides top clip broke off and eventually flew off on the highway. I retrieved it because literally the very first thing that popped in my head was using it try to get that damn orange lens out of there.

Hmm i gotta go look at a friends supra soon to poke my head up under the rear and see what that diff looks like. an LSD might be fun

If your run coilovers you most probably dont need the strut bar. It will be too firm. And the LS brakes are sufficient unless you do major motor upgrades. They are build to stop a car of its weight and loaded with passengers and cargo. Spend money on new bushings and you can you can replace the lower sway bar bushings with poly ones too.

thanks for the advice. I did however find online a few SC400s with Supra rear Torsen LSD differential. I might be on to something.

If your looking for speed or that kind of thing, you may want a Gs4 or SC4. The LS is a cruiser with power but made for comfort really, not sliding around corners...but its your car. GL with the build what ever you decide. Id say get some good suspension and 3 piece wheels and do maintenence stuff...bushings, trans flushm new gear oil brake blead, look at motor mounts and trans mounts. You'll enjoy the car more after these type of things.

Whats the difference between the Supra Calipers and the UCF20 ? Besides the raised portion on the outside.

Im also interested in a LSD in my 99'. Theres nothing like LSD in a big body. I heard the inners are interchangeable....

from what ive gathered LS brakes are better than supra brakes, so i guess the only reason to do the swap would be if you found a big brake kit for a supra for cheap. And i also found out the rear end will fit, but the gears are different. still have more research to do.
