Default WTB: Ikeya Formula Control Arms (or equivalent)

Anyone have something like the Ikeya Formula Control Arms?
I needed bushings for a '97, but I think Im gonna replace the front arms entirely.

This is gonna be a tall order, but you might just be better off buying it from the official website or even search ebay. In my 5 years at CL I've only seen someone selling these rare things once. So yeah good luck with your search. Cross your fingers and wait for that blue moon.

be ready to spend at least 1k on a pair of arms. If you arent using them for road race or anything, then check out the supra tt front arms. hth

Are the TT arms, a direct fit on a '97 SC?

In other words, can I get these?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/280915862907...ht_3584wt_1189

I just want something significantly better than stock; it doesn't have to be the Ikeya's however.
I saw two front lca's for the '97-'00 SC though, and they were $900; if Im spending that much, I'd rather get some kickass parts.

to answer your question if supra lcas will fit 97 sc... i wanna say yes, but i have only read about 92-95 sc with supra lca, but these guys all say they fit.

I bought the tc sportlines and I actually wasn't happy with them. I wanted to have more negative camber these actually gave my car more positive camber even at the max neg setting. I asked tc sportline about it and they said it is for camber correction. lame. for drifting i run -3 degrees most of the time, and these just wont do that. also the spherical bearings aren't very durable, after 2-3 track events there is already some play in them.

let me suggest. these http://battleversion.com/store/sc-91-00/

not sure if he has the fronts, I am fairly sure he does. but call alex and he will take care of you.
