Default Suspension arms.

I'm an s chassis guy who made the jump into an sc400, seems like everywhere I look everyone and their mom is making suspension arms and rods for everything other than the sc/soarer. If any of you would point me in the direction of some reputable companies who make aftermarket suspension parts for my platform, It would help me out a lot .

Glad you figured out that there is a lot for our cars out there, just need to know where to look. This having the same suspension components as the Supra makes life a little easier on findings parts.

^^^ Wow that is an amazing picture. So after all the does the car handle better? I always imagined these cars being heavy boats and no matter what's done they'll still handle like crap.

Why did you have the lower arms shortened?
