sc300 suspension and braking from the beginning
where does it start and when will it end............i just got slotted rotors for the rear and a set of ls400 brake calipers and rotors for the front and now i am looking into the lower control arm issue and i keep hearing that supra control arms are the way to go so i found a website that sells a pretty good looking pair of front and rear control arms for the supra any thoughts......http://www.ncpp.co.nz/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=3

yes i finally got my hands on a jdm tt supra rear subframe.i only paid 800 for the tt 6spd diff plus brakes and everything else. is it worth it to use aftermarket arms or should i just get a energy bushing kit and use what's there.

kinda depends on what you're gonna be doing with the car. aftermarket arms with heim ends will definitely allow you to get more direct response from the suspension, but they cost a ****load more (well, the good ones at least. please don't waste money on megan junk), wear out quicker, and the ride quality can get on some people's nerves. If you just want a fun car, replacing the bushings with polyurethane ones (like prothane) would probably suffice.
I am pretty jealous of your subframe though. I've been wanting a supra one to correct some of my rear's geometry.

lol its kinda funny how i got it. i was just asking for dual piston brakes in the rear at an importer and he pointed to a subframe like it was no big deal. so i asked how much and he said 800. then when i actually got to look at it the brakes said supra......and everyone knows the rest. now it sits in my garage waiting for the abuse to come. it was just hard to believe it came with everything im just gonna clean it and bolt it up.
