Great looking car with pretty low miles, welcome to the forum man.

Any year MKIV supra arm will bolt right on.

 

I talked to Carson Toyota, the Retail Parts Manager told me that Supra LCA's will work on 92-96 SC's but DO NOT FIT 97-2000 SC's...

 

They do, as people have used old SC arms on newer scs here. Which conversely means MKIV supras will too as they're made from the same mold... Also they actually talk about how carson doesn't have it listed on post 15.

Emperical evidence is always more conclusive when it comes to these things

 

A parts managers job is sales, nothing more... I personally installed Supra LCA onto my 97 SC400, I can guarantee you its a bolt on affair.

 

SO, if their job is to sell, why would they not sell me the parts? the parts guy told me he had sold the Supra LCA's to owners of 97-2000 SC's and they were returned..he mentioned they are just a few mm off

I see no suspension changes in model years

He is wrong. End of story.

You make a good and valid point but, its still wrong lol. My brother in law is this exact guy at the Acura dealership in Springfield MO.. They just go by part numbers or simply don't know any different. Anyone walking into the parts department at a LUXURY CAR dealership willing to pay dealership pricing for repairs probably doesn't even know what a control arm is, let alone which cars have compatible parts so why would he open a can of worms and sell them a different part? If everyone here cant convince you some part dealer is wrong then by all means, figure it out on your own. Poor guy.

AGAIN, ME AND TONS OF OTHERS HAVE PHYSICALLY INSTALLED THEM OURSELVES. THEY ARE 100% PLUG AND PLAY.

 

What Kris said.

They go by part numbers alone.
Even my buddy at the Toyota dealership was warning me not to buy it as he didn't think it would fit even though he's never done it himself or seen it personally. It fit like a glove, and installation was maybe 30 minutes once I got the old arms off. I'd take the word of all of us here who have personally done the install over the word of some guy sitting behind a desk looking up part numbers for a car he's never even driven and probably doesn't even remember what it looks like off the top of his head.
