Default New guy here with a stupid question...

I recently bought a 92 SC400.... it has a vertex body kit molded to the car now and I am wanting to lower my car. What are my options for springs? Coilovers? I'm new to Toyotas/Lexus, I've been a nissan guy for a while.

Also I was told that the MK4 Supra TT aftermarket suspension will work as well, is that correct?
Thanks for your time guys.

Welcome to CL thevin!

Supra suspension parts work with the SC. Some are direct bolt on, some require small modification or simple welding.

Use the search function here on CL as the "suspension question" has been discussed over and over again here. A lot of differeing opinions on which setup is best, which is lowest, etc.

Here's a quick result of search.

There's a ton of sites...usually we try to go through one of our forum vendors because they give better pricing. You can find them in the vendor section of the forum.

If you know a part that interests you you can also do a "search" and read threads about that part, usually people will state in the thread where they purchased it from and how much it was, but you can always just ask, most guys around here are pretty cool and will help you out.

Here's a couple of sites I like for parts:

www.l-tunedparts.com (for the best prices on OEM parts and some aftermarket stuff)
www.luxurymods.com (great aftermarket parts)
www.lextech.org (for all your Lexus lighting needs)

You're going to have fun...and be broke...so just get ready...welcome to the club and post pics of your car if/when you can

You've been keeping it all James Bond because your car is probably a 2JZ monster making 900 at the wheels, rollin' on 19" CCW's, with 3000 watts in the trunk!

That's why I switched over to tuning Nissans. Lexus' aftermarket prices are pretty expensive since everyone thinks you have deep pockets LOL especially engine mods which are also few and far. As for your suspension question'on L-Tuned stuff is always good or coilovers.

What Nissan department were you in?

Unfortunately, there are no L-Tuned suspension products for the SC 400/SC 300.
