SCV8

It wasn't enough to just put on a set of Supra lower control arms,I found a leaky shock,replaced them with Bilsteins for a Supra,WOW!
What a difference,lowered the car another 3/8" too,along with the 1/2 lower that the stock Supra TTsprings had already provided,it makes for a decent ride height,pretty smooth ride considering how well it handles.

Any pictures? How much? All around?

SCV8

They cost a hundred $ a piece,alot less than oem Supra TT @ $155 each,rears are the same cost.
No pictures, they look just like stock,but are yellow.
I took it all back apart again,the ride was too funky with the lowered ride height,the control arm angles/geometry was too lame for the way I drive.
It plants even harder now ,rides great, so I'm happy with the extra wheelwell gap, it's still lower than stock Lexus height.

Hey, SCV8, so what happened? You still have the Bilsteins on? Also where did you get the Supra lower control arms, and how much were they?

what happened? control arms are not ment for our cars or shocks too low?

Any pics of how it looks?

The Supra control arms are a direct replacement for the SC ones,cost under $200 each, the real problem was that the parts (spring seats) that came with the Bilsteins made for a 1" lower ride height. The problem was fixed by using the stock Supra spring seats.The spring seats slide over the top of the shocks and are tapped into place w/a hammer.
Car's only a half inch lower than stock SC,not much but gets it out of the 4wd category anyways.
I would have set the car up lower had the suspension pivot points(on the car's chassis) had been lower, but that's as low as it will go w/out sacrificing the suspension dynamics IMO.
