Default 98 SC400 Camber Kit

My buddy is in dyer need of a front camber kit for his 98 SC400. Its sitting on 17" inch rims, with Supra TT Tokico Blues and Tein lowering springs. Its real low to me. I need to know where to find such a kit? No luck with TM Engineering, and I actualy have their number. Any one else make this? I cant find it anywhere. Thanks in advance

I have contacted them by email and phone and no reply or answer. I want to know if anyone can physically by there and take a look if they are still in business. I have heard lately nothing but negative about TM Engineering.

I had the same experience as well with TM Engineering. My car still needs an alignment, but soon I plan to get supra LCA's and I have found a shop here in Houston that specializes in aligning lowered cars. I'm also gonna have them check out my tie-rod ends and sway bar end links while they are putting in the LCAs. I would suggest you tell your friend to find a similair shop in your city. I have heard you can max out the factor caster/camber and have regular tire wear on a lowered SC. Hope this helps...

Lately TM has gone down the drain. I think they are on their way out of buisness.

I also have heard a lot of negative stuff about TM too. I'm not sure where else you can get a camber kit though.

Here are Daizen's dealers. TM Engineering is just one of them. If no luck there, shoot Daizen and email.

^I am maxed out at -1.5 at my ride height, I could use a camber kit

I ordered Daizen Sways from TM about a year and a half ago and they never shipped them, or charged me, or called me back to say they were out of them. Just like I never ordered them in the first place.

The year before that I got lots of Daizen bushings and they were great, timely shipping and good customer service.

They aren't going out of business. The owner (Todd) does a lot of things behind the scene, but taking care of customers is not one of them.

I went to the physical location a few years ago and no one answered the door. All I saw was Soarers (real right hand drive) left outside collecting dust with flat tires and other problems.

My thoughts about TM is the same. I ordered alot of bushings from them two years ago. It took like a month for all of them to get here. I really like what the feel is now in my 92. I wish they would have just put there customers first. I wonder what is going on with them?

I think I have found him some. They are for a TT Supra and will adjust about 2 degrees. Should be plenty for his DD. Thanks for everyones help!!!!
