Has anyone installed supra lower control arms on the SC400?

 

do a search, Post in the righjt forum which is suspension and you will find your answer a MOD will move it for u. Good luck on your search.

 

Since we are talking about suspension, i'm moving this to the suspension forum.

 

I believe they do fit but can't vouch for anyone. For future info on pretty much anything on the SCs, check out and bookmark www.intellexual.net Very good write ups by our member lex400sc and a vey useful resource.

I also think they will fit. However,I would like to hear from someone
who actually has them on an SC400.

 

We know for sure that SC300 can have Supra LCAs. You might want to call up Lexus and find the part # for the SC400 LCAs. If they are the same as the SC300, then you're good to go.

i have supra lower control arms on my sc300, they are wonderful, not to sure about the 400 though. i would guess it was the same

 

southernsc, since you have the arms installed on your sc300 please tell me how you like them. I hear that they're not the exact same part so this causes the front end to sit slightly higher, is this true? I also hear that since the arms are from a Japanese sports car that it makes the Lex ride much stiffer, is this also true? Please share your opinion of how these arms are performing and also let me know if you're into racing and such or if you're trying to keep it factory fresh. I ask this because I'm not into racing my sc, so I don't want a stiff ride, I want it to ride like new...smooth as silk how it was meant to ride. Thanks for any input.

 

I think the SC300 and SC400 have the same LCA i found this site hope this helps

the supra lca's are great, i love em! the bushings are larger on the supra lca, thats the only difference i know of. i cant tell a major difference in the ride, thats also due to my shot shocks that im soon to replace. no more squeaking, and it dosent seem to have a hard roll like it use to on corners

 

...but do they sit higher? I have to order these (or the Vlamos') in the next day or two, so I would really, really appreciate an opinion from someone who actually has them!

 

I was curious about the Supra LCA's, as well. Is the only difference the size of the bushings? If that's the case, they shouldn't cause the car to sit any higher. I would also venture to guess that the ride would be a tad softer, if you have more rubber absorbing vibration and bumps. Anyone else have any experience with these? A comparison pic would be very helpful.

 

someone please answer this ... I desperately need an answer on the 'sitting higher' issue. My 92 SC4 is in the body shop being repainted, but I need to order parts to address the bushing problem ASAP so I can do the suspension work when it gets out of the hospital...

they dont sit higher, atleast not that i can tell. theo nly thing different is the bushing size, they are much larger on the supra's than the lexus oem.

 

The Supra part is an exact fit replacement for the Lexus part; same exact castings with the same size bushings; bushings are just a little firmer; car sits the same as it did from the factory.
The price is different ,as is the part #, however.
