I set TRD door stabilizer (for toyota 86) on my sc430.
It improved body rigidity very much.
So, we also recommend you to equip with this.

Can you explain more why this helps? Is for when the top is down? Where can it be purchased?

 

Would you check following page TRD

i was looking at the GT86 trd parts catalog here the other day and also saw this and wondering how much it would help, and if it was available for the SC430. But the ones for the GT86 is a direct fit for the SC430?

Thank you very much for the tip. Greatly appreciated. I wanna get these!

 

Rouge, what improvements have you noticed from it? By body rigidity, what are you referring to? (I think that we all have our own expectations of what that means but have divergent actual meanings.)

 

SC430 which is a convertible has a weak body, and when running the rough road surface, it feels vibration that the body is twisted.
This door stabilizer is stuck as one of measures.
The slide base by the side of the body of a door stabilizer slides, the base by the side of the door of a door stabilizer is pressed, and the strong reinforcement effect is given to the longitudinal direction of a door.
For this reason, a body stops having distorted and vibration which is twisted decreased considerably even when running the rough road surface.

In Japan, it is becoming a standard measure for sc430 body reinforcement.

You can see and buy at ebay.

 

Thanks rouge - that makes sense. I'll look for them.

 

Anyone else that gets this please report what where and how. A DYI would be great as well

 

This makes a lot of sense as an upgrade that will make a difference. I say this because I've had my SC430 on jacks and jack stands on all 4 corners with the top up and was very surprised to find that the chassis flexed way more than I ever would have expected. It was enough that when opening the doors, there was interference at the windows. The ground was likely not flat, the jacks may have been slightly uneven. All the same, it was still surprising to me that there was this much displacement.

 

I have the same problem with the window when the car is on the lift and lifted in the 4 corners. So i really want to get these as well. Just saw that rouge made two links in the first post with DIY with pictures and description in japanese. I used google translate and it seems that you need to test with different spacers to get the right fitment for each door.

Im sure this will help alot on body roll. And for about $180 it should be a great mod.

 

Thanks Rollaboy,for translate japanese contests of my site.
And sorry for my poor english.
What you said is just my wish and activity.
And more, [TOM's front body brace] is more efective for body rigidity.

 

Do you propose both Tom's Front Brace and the TRD door device or the door device doesnt add much to the Tom's?

Perhaps the TRD device is a big improvement if you dont have anything else?

 

YES.

Although I equipped only with the door device first, big effect sufficient by just it was able to be felt.
Front brace was attached after that, rigidity became good further.
I propose both of wearing.

 

where to buy this door stabilizer for sc 430 in the USA?



thanks

 

This door stabilizer sounds amazing.

In essence you are increasing the surface contact between the door and the frame. Making it a solid piece and that helps with the twisting force when on rough roads.

Makes absolute sense.
