Default 95 sc300 rebuild

So I got it a while back . It was in pretty bad shape but I got it so I can learn to work on cars . I replaced a few parts to get it running and dropped the exhaust from the cat down for the hell of it , now it sounds like a beast lol . i want to get it reliable before I start modding it . all that's left til its completely road ready are brakes , master cylinder , windshield , and suspension . ive gotten use to the brakes , but still gonna replace them soon . im pretty sure the suspensions is SHOT . its a rough ride , cut springs that move out of place whenever I lift the car up , and my tires are rubbin bad . for now im gonna go with stock suspension and save coil overs for later . I figured id try on here first before I go to the lexus dealership so I don't charged out the *** for it . so if anybody still has the stock suspension they wanna sell or know where I can get it for a good price id appreciate it

If this is a WTB thread, it belongs in the SC300/400 Classifieds.

On another note, it's awesome to see SC's being restored to their former glory!

Stock coil springs are really not that expensive brand new and if you look into oem Supra TT springs they're even cheaper but the shocks will be more expensive.
