Actually they are a different type. Here's a link they want $170 per pair. I don't know how I only ended up paying $100 for the entire set, lucky auction I guess haha

Well after driving it for a while it definitely feels better, but doesn't ride quite how I'd like it to. I get a little bit of popping in the front end, so I think control arms are next. I'd just replace the bushings, but I want new ball joints too.
I'm surprised to the front left tire rubs a bit when I turn left into an elevated area like my driveway. It doesn't look much lower than before either

Interesting... I've been contemplating coilovers, but the more SC's I see on Supra springs makes me wanna change my mind
Funny what you say about your sway bar. Who ever worked on my SC before I bought it totally left the passenger side endlink disconnected from the LCA.

drop looks good man. nice and even front/back.
on a side note for the rest of you: unless you are doing some Seriously hard turning, the stock front sway bar on our car is utterly useless. On regular street driving there is barely any notticable difference in handling.
How do i know? because when i upgraded my suspension, my stock sway bar links (rusted/old) were also removed and i supposed to replace them but still haven't gotten around to it. And in the past i even hit some corners aggressivly, just to test this out. so, in essence, my sway bar is just sitting there doing nothing, yet CAR HANDLES THE SAME.
go figure..

Im digging the stance man. I have to agree with you on the stance decision also. I dont like them too low, but flush with the top of the tires, its perfect in my eyes too. It looks like you used a 40 series tire in the front, by the picture. It also reminds me of my 1992 pearl white sc.

Yeah I like the stance, you can barely squeeze a finger between the fender/tire all around.
I do get a little bit of rubbing in the front if turning onto a driveway with an incline, but nothing too bad. I may do something about that later.
So regarding control arms, is the general consensus that going with the Supra arms from Carson Toyota the best price/decision? I'd do just bushings but I really want new ball joints too.
