A few updates:
New rotor installed.
Picked up an SAFC blue 1, going to install to try and squeeze out extra gas mileage.
Picked up a megan gs300 midpipe, that I will be modifying to work for SC300.
I've also decided to go with a VVTi sc300 header. It is the best stock header out there, tubular, even better than the VVTi GS300 header, and the IS300 header. This way I can maintain a legal appearance and not worry about anybody popping my hood (california).
Purchased a set of NA MKiv rims, 16x8 front, 16x9 rear. I'll be running these until I find something better. Anything is better then the 15" stock rims.
Also bought for a few bucks, the NA MKIV brake setup. It is basically the same as the SC400. Only a mild upgrade, but it was cheap and I needed new rotors anyway.
I'll post some pics soon.
Oh and I picked up some decent control arms with good bushings from a member here. +1 for community support!

long day!
I installed the replacment control arm and the Supra NA 16x8, 16x9 rims. The rims look much better than the stockers. The stock height is now more noticeable, so I have to get this thing lowered ASAP.
Also sdsupra dropped off his NA Supra calipers and rotors. Even though they are only slightly bigger, you can see the difference right away.
No camera though..

935 - good work!
I bought in 2000 in Texas SC 300-97.
Since then, I reconstructed:
1) headlight under the Russian standard: http://toyota-club.net/files/faq/05-07-10_faq_far.htm)
2) polished surface of the glass headlight: http://photofile.ru/users/bvr/2561233/
3) set the brake system of the Supra TT: http://photofile.ru/users/bvr/115138709/ and rims «Rays Engeenireng" model Versus Championato SS7 (forged lightweight)
Front 8h17 ET +38, rear 9x17 ET +38
4) set a Flex-a-Lite 220: http://photofile.ru/users/bvr/115263126/
5) Install the device temperature control ATF Automatic A340: http://photofile.ru/users/bvr/135074930/
6) Install the radiator cooling ATF: http://photofile.ru/users/bvr/115387322/
7) set the device for temperature control of motor oil: http://photofile.ru/users/bvr/115336841/
8) established the radiator cooling engine oil: http://photofile.ru/users/bvr/115459818/
9) fixed rear spoiler firm Ab-Flug
10) established the Front Strut Tower Bar and strut bars rear.
935 - Allow me to ask you my questions.
If I understood you correctly, you replaced the head of the engine block, setting the head unit with VVTi from the latest generation of SC300?
Can I install on my 2JZ-GE VVTi 97 года generation from the last generation of SC300?
How much do I have to do the work?
Thank you for your attention and help.
Vadim.

I happened to pick up a 99 SC300 vvti motor, which I'm putting in an older car, not the SC300.
