Default stock supraTT suspension

Well since you can take the shocks/springs combo for a SupraTT and bolt them directly onto your SC, I'm assuming stock SupraTT suspension would also work?

since the SupraTT already handles extremely well, used stock parts can be found for pretty cheap and prolly offer a nice value

can anyone comment on this?

After years of tweaking suspensions,and spending tons of money modifying other cars,I did just that to my SC,and it works very well,cost only a couple hundred $ to do,TOTALLY interchangeable parts,easy install.
Haven't even aligned the car,ride height was almost identical,car handles like a proper performance coupe now.
The shock valving is way more developed than that on our cars,appears to be softer initially,which really improves the feel of the car, even though the springs are about 17% stiffer.
You need the rear swaybar to complete the effect,and this requires getting the rear-most subframe bushings from the TT,since this is where the center swaybar bushings locate.
Go on www.supraforums,and look in the classifieds to find some lo-mile parts from someone who lowered their Supra TT,might have to go to a junkyard for the bar though,if you decide to do any of this.
