I was wondering if the struts on the SC300 and NA MK4 Supra were the same? My rear is blown

 

The SC shocks aren't the same as the Supra shocks but they will bolt on into the SC. Just make sure you have some Supra springs.

 

that is correct..supra springs with supra shocks, and SC springs with SC shocks..no mixie-matchie.

 

The spring on the Supra are still good. Just that the struts is leaking oil. I wonder why everyone told me they we exchangeable...

 

wait so you have a supra, but were thinking about using SC shocks? thats backwards, lol...most SC owners look for the Supra suspension parts.

as for interchangeability, yes they are as long as you swap springs/shocks at the same time..but supra springs on an SC shock wont work and visa-verse..spring perches are different

 

Yes I have a Supra.

Kinda poor right now, I also have a FD :P

 

I feel you on that one..but I think if you were going to try and use an SC shock/spring, you would end up spending more money in the long run. SC owners have to factor in an extra .5'' to .75'' drop rate when using Supra suspension, so I would think it would be the opposite when applying SC suspension to your Supra, you would have to add that .5-.75'' which in turn would be like doing a small lift on your Supra..but Im not 100% sure if that actually applies or not.

have you tried skimming through SF.com, or clubna-t to see if anyone has some stock supra parts for a decent price?

 

Yes I posted on Supraforums but no replies yet

I need them asap because my friend had rented some compressor tool and he only has it for a week.

 

oh I see..why not hit up ebay and just order an OEM shock..as for the compressor tool, I am assuming its a springs compressor right? you shouldnt need it with 2 people. I did my shocks/springs by myself, just took some elbow grease, and some body weight(which isnt much in my case)..that and you can buy a spring compressor for less than $30 at autozone

 

I might as well get them from the auto part store I guess. On eBay shipping would be pretty much the same price as what BAP-Geon is asking.

Thanks for all the help everyone

 

I think it was $12... or you can rent them

They are ****ty and very dodgy.
