Default Curious if these rear upper control camber arms will work on my SC?

I know the chassis on the SC and the Supra are identical....I'm curious if these arms will work my SC rear?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/93-97-TOYOTA...ht_3484wt_1392

Need more camber adjustment and there's nothing specifically for the SC available unless you dump money on the Ikeya's so..This is what I ended up with. Just need someone to approve it and confirm that it will line up and work before I purchase.

Thanks y'all!

I believe there was a thread about these and it needed a lot of modification to work like cut, re-weld and stuff like that.

If they work then my apologies, it's been awhile since I saw the thread but I thought the member who tried them had to do some serious modification to make them fit properly.

No problem.... it’s a tight fit, which is ok but a little grease on all the moving parts made it a breeze! One thing I am worried about is the actual hiem joint; those will probably be the first thing to go. But they can be replaced easily.

That's the part you adjust in/out and its also the part that gets bolted to the knuckles. If that makes any sense lol

I'm confused... Why more camber when this is a camber correction part?

The ride is as smooth as it's ever been, all I know is that the loud squeaking noises (Due to bad bushings) are now gone...That was my biggest gripe.

Oh no, I perfectly know what you mean by those bushings. I had replaced every single bushing on mine including the engine and tranny mount hoping to get rid of this loud clunking sound when I shift to R or D at cold starts, and even at warm start when the car is at an angle, then it got worst when I lowered my SC, I would even hear the clunk when I'm driving whenever I'd let go of gas, and nothing solved it until I recently replaced my rear upper control arm bushings with polyurethanes... After seeing the OEM bushings out, that's when I realized how stupid of a design it was, and stupid me also cause the rear upper control arm bushings were the last thing I did due to it being very hard to deal with lacking tools... I had to do it at the military base's hobby shop for a complete access to tools...

So were you able to get the camber back to normal or did you get these to get more camber?
