Anyone got a definitive and accurate list of which parts are actually different about the rear end set up between the is200 and the is300?

I know the diffs are different, so I'm assuming the prop and axles will need to change with it, as well as an IS300 speed sensor? Is the subframe the same?

300's have the HID headlight leveling adjuster on the rear.

if you want to swap the subframe the MK4 supra one fits with some tweaking.

Can I still use the is rear arms if I do that though? I'm assuming that means a Soarer subframe will fit?

not sure on the arms mate, would probably be best if you could get a frame with everything still attached, and there will be a bit of modifying to do on the mouting holes at both front and rear but anythings possible with the right tools and cash.

heres the MY.is links for subframe swaps http://my.is/forums/gtsearch.php?cx=part...a+subframe

UK spec IS300 diff is good enough for my requirements, ~3.2 ratio which is okay. I've found a crash damaged sportcross that should do the trick. Not sure how hard it is to swap a subframe/axles etc though even if they do bolt right up.
