Default Suspension Swap

I have searched all the threads and cannot seem to get a straigth answer. I want to purchase new suspension for my SC400. I am looking into some of the Supra suspensions. I know both have to be for the same car. I thought I had read somewhere that something else was needed to be able to install supra shocks and springs on an SC like some type of mount. I cannot find anything in the search....or I am not searching under the right sku words......Can someone confirm if anything else is needed. Again I hate to start another thread if it has been covered a million times but I guess I am not putting the correct search words in. Thanks for your time!

with supra shocks and springs you can reuse the remaining components of your original stock configuration, and everything will bolt up perfectly. A few months back, I did just this with my own two hands.

the supra products are definitely more plentiful and give you more flexibility, but keep in mind that the Supra springs will lower your SC 0.5-0.7" lower than the advertised Supra drop.

For example, my Swift springs promised a 0.8" drop for the Supra in the rear. Check out my sig: my rear is lowered about 1.5".
