Default sc300 vs supra handling

did a search couldnt find much.. i know alot of the suspension parts for the supra will fit on the sc..i know the sc is slightly longer and heavier than the supra too, so my question is, is the handling on both of them still comparable or will a supra still drive circles around the sc?

TIA

The Supra TT will drive circles around the SC. The Supra NA won't.

i think he means with upgraded suspension

all things being equal the SC3 and SupraTT will handle about the same... the Supra will have quicker response, and be a bit more tossable... but the SC3 will pull more Gs in large turns due to its length

I've got swaybars from a SupraTT coming in to fit on my SC3... and I'll be ordering SupraTT eibach's and tokico AGXs

Right, guys I have driven both allot and all I can say is that the SC's handling cannot even compare with the Supra's handling.

Yeah, where did you all get your supra struts from and for how much. I have eibach Supra springs but i hear you need supra struts also (not tokico lexus struts). Also where did you get your supra sway bars from. Thanks for your help.
