Hello ladies and gens, I used to own fast DSMs (Diamond Star Motor) Eagle Talon, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Plymount Laser and equipped them with KYB AGX, LOVE them so much even when on SOFT setting, ANYWAY I am a noob to SC300/SC400/Soarer/Supra. Here is the deal :
I have a 5 speeds SC300 (planning on GTE swap), I have been researching the internet and even called the Toyota and Lexus dealers, they don't know or not sure. I chat with "its Rich lol" on AIM, the webmaster of http://www.intellexual.net/faq.html , he said everything the same, so I ordered a set of KYB AGX (Fronts and rears) from http://www.******************.com/ $370 , Tanabe GF210 springs from http://www.performancecenter.com/ $178 (Clearance Sale) , and the shock mounts from KYB $195 (they said its poly-urethane) for 95 Supra Turbo to swap on my 93 SC300, I just worry about the mounts that will/won't fit.
I have a friend working at the AMG Mecedez dealer, and we going to use his bay on saturday, so I hope this project going to be smooth, if you guys see something NOT RIGHT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW before/during/after this project end ... here are the pictures of the parts that I ordered (mounts not in yet) I will try to update every picture s that I can to answer for who will intend to do this.
KYB shocks will come with (4x) Screwdrivers for top side adjust, (4x) AGX stickers, (4x) Nuts to bolt on the mounts and (4x) Warranty papers

had a litle trouble to install the supra shock mounts, so I have to use a grinder and move the 3 bolts on the mount closer in order to fit the sc, plus I can get some camber adjustment too. Right now I set them on level 3 , and the car just like how the F1 car handle that you see on tv, swift in and out lane like nothing not even a second rebound lag. I am very happy with the result, and in the future when the spring is set, may be a fraction of an inch will be lower then the shock more stiff.,, so folks out there looking for handling this is very AFFORDABLE and GREAT PERFORMANCE. I will try to post some before/after pictures
