Hey guys, anyone know if there's any fundamental differences in the suspension between IS200s and Altezza RS200s?

Looking at buying some new springs for my IS but the set I've found only mentions they fit the RS200...

Cheers

Absolutely identical. I had loads of bits off an altezza on my IS200 and it was exactly the same. The spring heights vary slightly depending on year, though this is also true for the IS200 sport springs (from memory)

If you're changing springs, I'd do the dampers and roll bars as well. To be honest, you will struggle to get better than a set of meister-R's and some TRD/TTE anti-roll bars. Best thing I ever did to the IS200.

Agreed..

Just put MeisterR coilovers on my GS300.

Looks to be extremely well built and a really nice ride.
