Tightening up the Suspension?
The SC300 that I just picked up has a fairly loose suspension. I new to the platform so, in my ignorance, I can only say that it feels "wobbly" sometimes; not as tight as one would expect from a Lexus.
I read on this forum that the bushings on SC3's are sometimes the culprit or are commonly not up to par. Also, a previous owner of the car said that I should replace the bushings as well a friend who also owns an SC300.
I don't really know what all might need to be replaced to make the suspension feel brand new (or better). Can anyone provide links to a few information resources that discussion this topic or links to where I can get the parts that I would need?
Thanks!

Yeah I know and I did but I don't actually know what I'm looking for. I don't even know what my options are or aren't at this point. Needle in a needlestack when I don't even know what the needle I'm looking for looks like. Besides, all of the search terms that I came up with returned a lot of arbitrary results...
Thanks! Which coilovers and for how much?
If there are multiple bushing kits, are there any that are better than the others. I don't know the company prothane but people talk about them a lot, I suspect that they're quality material?
1 new lca bushings look at the prothane thread
2 coilovers for the win have a set for sale if your intrested
3 strut tower bar help a small but
4front sway bar bushing or a stiffer bar look up tanabe or whiteline

Is that a common issue with SC3's? I think I remember someone mentioning something like that recently but I don't recall any details.

Looks like the prothane kit is what I'll be getting.
