Default Help! Need Info on Lower Control Bushing Set

Ok, it is official. I can't seem to find a bushing set for my lower control arms for my '92 SC 400? Where can i get a set?

someone was saying that you have to replace the lower a-arms and you can do it with the Supra 1993+ ones, which are stiffer and offer better braking and handling.

Really? I must've missed that one. Thanks MadMaxSC 400. I guess that is the way to go even, though I don't want to pay like $900 for new control arms. Gosh, you would think they would offer a bushing set of some sort.

Ask them if there's a core discount on the part, and check with Chris from www.lexussc400.com about getting that part, he's got a hook-up.

Let us know how much the Supra control arms were,if you find out,I thought they were about the same as the Lexus ones,but am wondering if there's a good deal out there.

I don't think I am doing that b/c, if you change out the control arms to the Supras then you should change both the top and bottom control arm. Also, I don't really much of a benefit . Generally, modified control arms may help in adjusting the front camber but, our SCs already have a bolt to adjust camber.

blacksc,
You talking about the front or back, for the adjustable camber?
