JIC or Cusco STB on a 1998-2000 SC400
I have searched several posts but I am not able to determine if the Cusco, JIC , or any Supra STB's will fit the 1998-up SC400. Most of the posts deal with the 92-96 SC's. I'm pretty sure the suspension mounts are the same for all SC's. It seems that my 1993 SC400's motor sat slightly higher than my 1998's did. Has anyone tried installing an STB on their 1998-2000 SC400 with or without the OEM spacers? I am ordering a stock 1997 MKIV Supra TT spring/strut setup and would like to add an STB for better handling capabilities. Any feedback would be great.

Thanks OneHot....You have a SWEET ride by the way. NICE !! Well I guess my new SC may have a little more room to spare than my 1993 (perhaps I only need one spacer...hopefully none). That's what I'm hoping for, at least. I really want a good STB to go with my 1997 Supra TT Suspension. I will try to dig up a pic of my engien bay and show you.
Thanx again,

I hope these pics will help you determine if one will fit or not. I seriously hope so. I have seen the Greddy(TRUST) GREX and it seems to do quite well on my friends Supra. So let me hear your opinion(s).
Thanks again!!

I do not think the 98-00 engine bay supports the Cusco/Supra STB with that engine cover in place. Here is something that might help you.

Thanx for the info Legendary! If worse comes to worse, I can always make one . I will try the spacers. I am just worried about what Manaray said about not having enough thread on the stud. I think STB's may work on the 1999 SC300's. I think my motor is about the same height, just wider (esp. with the engine cover). Again, thanks for the insight. I will keep searching and let everyone know if I find a different solution.

This is NOT a Toyota part..You have to call Lexus in order to get it since its SC OEM reinforcements..
