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.

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.

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.
