Is there a DIY on this or anything close?

EpixINC

i will post up a DIY with pictures tomorrow when i get done. i got my SUPRA LCA from Carson toyota today Hell of a price, and tomorrow i am going to the post hobby shop to do it. free access to any tools i need and only three bucks an hour for the lift. i will take pictures as i go through the process. i definitly cant do it in my parking spot, dont have big enough wrenches to break loose the castle nut on the Ball joint, or for the main long bolts from arm to frame.

This would be great

EpixINC

creating it now. in the suspension section hopefully the Mods will Sticky or link it or something.

Thanks! i just finished mine as well!!

I have a question, did you arms go right in or was it a tight fit?

Thanks again!

EpixINC

well they are a little bit of a tight fit at first, just spray the inside of where the arm bolts in with wd40 before u put it in, and it goes easy. its literally a perfect fit.

Did you replace with factory Lexus or did you do Supra's?? Thanks again!

I too finally got around to changing mine last weekend. I used The Supra TT LCA's up front and than also purchased the rear Supra Subframe mount for the front and rear Supra Turbo sway bar install. I was amazed at how easy it was to get the OEM LCA's out on my car as well as how easily the new LCA's went back in. All in all I don't think we had much more than 2.5- 3 hrs max into installing all of this and also changing the oil over to AMSOIL. I still have yet to drive this 98 SC400 since doing all of these upgrades. We did all the work on this car just by jacking the car up and putting it on jack stands. Very simple and straight forward considering I have never attempted anything like this before.

EpixINC

yes it is quite simple. i replaced the factory SC arms with Brand new Supra TT arms. took me about half an hour.

EpixINC

i think it took me longer to post the diy then it did to do the work... LOL

To bad you have to get an alignment afterwards.

doing an alignment is a standard thing after doing any kind of suspension work.

Ya all in all it was VERY easy, only thing im asking myself is why was it such a snug fit when putting the new arms in?

Anyone have a similar issue?

EpixINC

yeah it was snug going in, but that just means it aint gonna shift around a lot as time goes on...
