Exclamation Question Of Importance

Hey guys I have a question. Alright I found a website that sells cheap strut bars and I was wondering if a strut bar for a 1992-1997 Corolla would fit on my 1997 SC400? Thanks guys

What?

Did I read this correctly?

You mean '93.5~'98 Supra, right?

How can you compare Corollas to SCs?

i compared it to the corolla because i was under the impression that when comparing engine and under the hood of the two cars, that they were pretty compatible to one another...

Uh...a Corolla is a I4...a SC400 is V8...I think you need to update your eyeglass prescription...

But just in case you can't figure it out, NO. It won't work w/o some serious reworking...and in that case, you might as well make your own custom one...

And why are you looking for the CHEAPEST rather than the BEST? Maybe you should just stick with Corollas instead...

Default well...

Manaray-If by calling the stut bar you probably bought for your lexus "the best" makes you feel better about buying a piece of scrap metal for $225, then go ahead. Im looking for a good deal. There are other things i could buy with that money...A simple "no" would have been acceptable, but instead you had to remove your head from your *** just to be a ***** for lack of a better term. Please excuse my french. Have a nice day.

triton, don't take it personally


the corolla is a FWD car, its more closer related to the ES300 than a SC300

When you look for parts; look for stuff for the 93.5-98 Supra; and SC300/400 parts usually intermingle well

importtoys.com sells strut bars I believe
but there's not much point of getting one unless its for the back

you want tighter handling in the rear to dial out the understeer... putting a strut bar in the front would make it handle worse actually
