Default poor mans supra..

ok so i am new to the forum but have done a bit of research before my posting on here...
1992 sc400 ... i got what i consider a reasonable price on the closest thing i could get to a supra....
the car has 244k miles and i paid just over $3k usd


i have first off come to the conclusion that suspension wise everything from 93-00 is interchangable??

so would i be able to swap this whole setup in to the sc400 with little to no modification..
97 supra??? FRONT RIGHT & LEFT CALIPERS, ROTORS, ARMS AND HUBS. REAR RIGHT & LEFT CALIPERS, ROTORS, ARMS AND HUBS (sorry i coppied and pasted) price is $850 and all i really need is the spindal and the hub the other parts are upgrades... lol (axles, diff and rear sub frame are not included)






When i throw the car in reverse and step on the break its as though the whole spindle, hub, calliper, and pad are shifting i wouldn't think this to be normal...



this does not happen when applying the breaks going forward, weight shifting the car around a corner, hitting a bump... only when in reverse and applying the breaks...

That's a common symptom with worn out front lower control arm bushings. You only feel it shift when in reverse and hitting the brakes.
BTW, it's spelled brakes, not breaks.. ;-]
