right now my bushings are shot, and the ride just sucks on high speeds or any bumps, so i simply want a good feeling ride, with fine tuned lowering+aligning so my tires dnt wear too fast and its smoother, a lil stiff i dnt mind

Did somebody here say "Suspension Upgrade"?

I have a couple of Mega Racing parts, The Rear Toe link and the Traction rods (I chose them in order to match my blue Eau rouge adjustable rear LCA's and coilovers)







So far, It rides smooth and I can't tell the difference from before, But I'm sure it can use a bit of fine tuning later on.

And "No" The Supra Tie rods won't fit onto our cars.

No problem! Those adjustable rear LCA's (Made by EAU ROUGE) cost me around $780+ But in my opinion they were worth it! Especially since no one else around here seems to have 'em.

Here's their link...

Thanks! They're "Advan TC II's" Wheels that no other company has been able to replicate due to it's complex design of being a forged single piece wheel and having spokes that are hollow.

Crazy SC300: I Have Recently bought a 96 SC400 That may require rear suspension replacement if ball joints turn out to be to worn to warrant bushing replacement. I have been looking @ eau rouge parts as I like looks of them. Question is, did you have much trouble with there web site (translate to English) and getting the parts from them?

I know this is an old thread, but someones re opened it so I thought I would clarify this:

Supra tie rods will fit if you have supra rear LCAs (which are shorter than SCx00 LCAs)
