SC 300 suspension
First of all, hello to everyone. My name is Mani and I've recently purchased a 95 SC300.
As part of my first modifications to the car I'm getting ready to upgrade the wheels and suspension. That said, here is my question to anyone who may know about the SC suspension system.
I have three full sets of coilovers from my Supra that's sitting around the house. Do any of you know if the Supra (93+) suspension system will bolt on to the SC.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Welcome
Hey Mani,
Welcome to the group. You'll enjoy it here.
In answer to your question, yes. This is a very common question and it's covered in many FAQ's (www.intellexual.net is a good one) and in the forums a million times. Use the search box next time before asking a question like this, it will save you time and you get your answers right away.
Also, there's a suspension section of the forums where this thread should have been started. The moderators hate when you post in the wrong place and they have to move the thread later (and they will move this one hehe).
I'm not bashin ya, just a newbie, too and offering some pointers. There's a few rules they like for you to follow and it makes the stay better for all of us.
Good luck! (Nice Supra, BTW)

Welcome to CL. I've seen your car quite a few times from the vids in SF. Since u got 3 sets of coilovers, are you willing to sell one of them for cheap? 
Are you planning to turbo up the sc?

Hi Mani,
I think the entire front suspension is compatible with the Supra. Lower control arm, upper control arm, shock/springs, and bushings. I'm not sure about the swaybar and swaybar bushings.
The rear shock/springs are compatible with the Supra.

they are compatible but some sets made for the supra needs minor adjustments to fit the sc. for mine, i had to ditch the spring cushions and what no from the sc to make the tanabe fit. and since the springs for the supra are slightly smaller then the sc's, every time i hit a bump thats, slightly large, u can definitely feel and hear the strut fully extend and fully compress. crazy noise.
