Autozone here sells the 1 1/8" universal Energy's for $12.99 --
$20 is still a good deal-- the guy told me it was just supply and demand-- I jumped on em when I saw the $12.99 price--
The rears for mine are $23 for some reason--

Nice job-- I had to shape the ears rounded though-- with a grinder-- to make them fit the specifically formed slots -- Just for the front-- the rears look like they can go in as they are--

firmer, i notice a little. my stock bushings were fine though, so the change isnt drastic. i can feel my tires trying to grip more now. but theres crappy 225's and i hear them squeal more lol.

Not without totally re-engineering the connection for the end links to the swaybar and the lca-- It could be done, but I'm not sure the universals are actually superior to the Supra TT links-- Our links have zero give-- as they use a ball joint that fits very tightly, while the uni's have poly on the ends, which will have more flex than the ball joint style link--
Rockauto.com -- Supra TT links = $47 shipped -- Perfect fit, great quality, get ready cuz they're a pain to change-- that's a guarantee, I needed a dremel with a special cutting wheel (reinforced) and a grinder with a 6" cutting wheel (on a 4" grinder with shield removed) -- I would say the engine mounts were easier than the end links on my car-- but your links could be rust free and easy to remove-- let's hope so-- I was able to cut the nuts off on the passenger side with a dremel, but the driver side needed the shaft and all cut off-- (the shaft the nut threads on on the end link) -- Good luck with that one--

you'd probably notice a larger difference with some aftermarket wheels and tires that really push the body lean before losing traction-- I can run this car around some tight sweeping curves at 45 and it feels normal-- not even like spirited driving-- These Falken tires rock for daily driving combined with a 23lb wheel and the fact that the tires are the lightest production 245/45's on the market-- at 23 lbs each--

Man I've got to say this - even though MJHSC400 says he's only been here for a generally short period of time, he has become (at least imho) a HUGELY high quality contributor to the boards for our SC's.
Here's a thank you to you man.
Thank you. (Keep it up - before too long they'll have to make a whole section just for your write ups)
