Default supra coilovers.....?

ok i havent seen any stickies for this... (and there should be)

but i was wondering what all suspension is swappable between the last gen supra and the sc300\400...

i was looking into some JIC coilovers.... will the supra ones fit just fine? ( i would think since people on here swap stock tt struts over that the aftermarket coilovers would fit jsut fine too.... but i need to be sure...)

thanks!

Everything from the mk4 supra will fit the SC300 as long you change the whole shock/spring as opposed to just the spring. etc.

All coilovers are interchangable.

Sway bars are interchangeable with some modifications to the rear sways.

Strut bars are interchangable.

Do a search, this has been discuss numerous times.

they will fit but you will need the rear subframe mounts from a supra think the part number is
52205-14020 & 52206-14010.

as far as your choice of ocilovers, i also have the JIC magic FLT-A2 (they are the same part numbers for the sc300 / 400 and supra), i personally would have gotten a stiffer spring rate, they are good for daily driving, but i'd rather have something more suited for track.

i came from almost the same background as you, i had an s14 with kei office type gu, so i'm used to that. the jic just don't compare, but then again this is a way heavier car then the s14 is. If your use to a track 240, then i would go with a weight of near 18/16, that seems about perfect for me at least for road and track. not too bone jarring like the hks (22/16?) but more stiffer then daily jic (14/10)
