Time has come for the front suspension of my car to get a rebuild after 18 years and 105,000 miles. Last month I had to have my outside tie rod ends replaced and my car drives a thousand times better. Now I'm looking at replacing lower control arms and front shocks. My question is this, what else would you guys do to the front end?? I want to do it all at once and be done. I will be buying Supra lower control arms for replacement because I want to do the ball joints too. Factory shocks will be replacing old ones because I like the smoothness of my car as it is. I would like to do a 1/2" to 3/4" drop in the front. I don't know what type of springs I would need to do that with but I'm hoping you guys can give me an idea. The rear of my car sits lower anyway because of stereo system. Any ideas on what you guys would also do would be appreciated. Pic of my car included.

Thanks,
Shane

i would check and replace:

1. sway bar bushings
2. sway bar links
3. check upper control arms for wear
4. replace the strut mounts when replacing the front struts.
5. steering rack busings

as for the springs your best bet is probably eibach springs. cheap and good quality with minimal drop.

So far I think I'm at as follows:

New front strut mounts
New Supra lower control arms

What I'd like after research
Supra TT front springs and shocks (Replace shocks with new)
If anyone has a used complet set up (Springs and Shocks) let me know I want them.

You might also want to consider replacing all of your bushings with Poly pieces. I have done that and it did a lot to tighten up the overall feeling of the car...

quick question why is it better to go with supra lower control arms instead of the sc? I'm trying to get familiar with the sc suspension. I'm fairly new to the car. thanks

stronger bushings and much cheaper when going with the supra arms.
