Default Where to find '97+ SC bushings?

I went out on a quest for bushings and aparently nobody has them. Does anybody know where I can purcahse the Daizen control arm bushings for '97 SC?

Chris

PS. TM Engineering recommended to retro-fit 92-96 control arm but if I was going to do such a thing I would most likely go with Supra TT control arm than a used control arm.

If I ever find them because so far every one of their dealers doesn't have them in stock. I think I will give up and get a control arm for Supra TT.... another lost customer.

You can't find them locally. If you have a older SC (older than '97) then you can get the bushings from TM Engineering. I have a '97 SC3 and Daizen doesn't seem to supply the bushings for my car while they say they do make them.

One permenent sultion to this is to get Supra TT lower control arm.

The Supra arm is similar to the 97-00 arm, there will be no benefit whatsoever to change over to a Supra arm. Remember they still have the rubber bushings, so there will be no performance benefit. You would basically be replacing something with the same thing.

We did a couple cars with the 97 arms, but there was not enough demand to warrant full runs of the kits.

There is nothing wrong with using the 96 arms, they can be found in excellent condition, and with the control arm bushing kit, would be an upgrade to your suspension.
