So i haven't worked on the car for a couple days, still waiting on the new right front caliper.
So this weekend i will be intsalling the tt lca, tie rods inner and outters, and some other stuff.
The V160 swap in on hold .....just trying to set my priority straight first just paid off my GS tired of car payments.
Don't know what am going to do about the tranny situation but i always have a back up plan.
Spent alot of money on the GS the past couple days so it's either i fix the car and drive it to the ground or trade it in and get something newer but with another $700 monthly payment which is a for me.

Yes that's exactly what i wanted, so i am pretty happy today..
The GS needed control arms, ball joints, converter, and now the timing belt and water pump is due again.
I am just waiting on the converter and timing belt and water pump stuff the suspension parts have been replaced spent about $2100 on suspension and tires.
The car has alot of miles 218k miles lol, so maybe Aristo swap in the next couple months hopefully after the SC is back on the road.

i was scraping with my SC400 lip, then went to AC front so i cracked the front bumper, when you over a bump the front will shoot either left or right depend on which side hit the pothole or the bump i hated that setup i put my stock suspension back on.

Thanks Omar. My car is stalled at the moment. Waiting on the machine shop. I still have to run my head out to them so they can clean it up. I sprayed and scraped at it for about 10 minutes before I said screw that LOL. I think I am not cut out for working on cars any more. It makes me miserable I would rather just go to the beach.

yeah the tanabes for the sc300 are a conservative drop, it leaves you with more clearance than the supra springs and stiffens everything up a bit. I got the lance alignment specs put on the car it seems to have helped with the bumpsteer some, im gonna go over the rest of my bushings especially the sway bar and see whats going on. The real answer might be new outer tie rods probably aftermarket if you are dropped low, i would like to know if the supra TT ones are different than the SC ones cause a supra is a bit lower from the factory than an SC/
tanabe for sc300 is nf210, for gs300 its gf210

Thanks Ali and every suspension part that i put on my car is from Supra TT, tie rods inner and outters,sway bar , sway bar links, bushings , control arms,control arm bushings, i wanna replace the rack i saw a little oil on it but i have to inspect it first.
So you think i will be fine with your setup since i have tt tie tods on my car? i like you setup front is lower and the back is little higher, my only concern with spring on shock is when i go with some DR on the back with taller tires on the back will it fit on the car? without raising the back up!!

you should be able to fit some big tires back there still, you will probably have more problems with the fender than anything depends on offsets.
I have no idea if the TT outer tie rods are the same. If you havent installed then yet take a look at em next to your old ones and let me know if they are different. no one seems to know. if they are the same it probably wont be any different.
