I couldn't say offhand, but basically you can take any coil spring to a steel works/spring shop and have them reset lower - and will be a fraction of the cost of new springs.

Yes, a W55 will go straight in the same as a W58 - they are near enough to identical externally except for shifter positions. However, you still need a bellhousing from a 'M' W58 box.

Ok well it's going to be slow going as I'm away until 3rd February, but I got a start the other day. Got the LHF strut & spring out. I'll do the other side soon and get the shocks checked and the spring rates measured and see what to do from there. The springs are extremely stiff, and by eye are...

Hi mate Assuming "500+" means 500-550hp (and not 1000hp) I would consider your engine over-cammed with 272s. That said, they're not a bad thing to have and make everything a lot more efficiently and achieve a given peak power level more easily (ie same power at less boost, or more power at the...

Less about aerodynamics and more about power to weight. An 80kg pillion adds 31% to the weight of a bike.... that's like adding 512kg to your Supra... 6-7 people!

interested in sizing & offset for both front & rear? The rears look to stick out a bit, so I assume the fronts are smaller?

If nothing else, at least avoiding FCDs is a positive change to the traditional US reliance on piggybacks.

Any chance oyu might be able to track old mate down? Be very interested to hear. What kinda circuit is Mal? QR is a cnt of a thing on brakes. What's the rear setup, out of interest? Ps if you ever go to a 6sp, I have a tailshaft to suit.

I understand entirely what a FCD is. Unlike 98% of people on automotive forums, I am not in the habit of giving advice on things I do not understand. I recommended that the OP upgrade intake cooling and exhaust, but to remove the wastegate shimming already in place as the modifications I...

First spend should be a full 3" exhaust, intercooler upgrade, and a k&n filter in the standard airbox. You can also trim/cut the front of the airbox for a better intake and - dare I say it - a nicer induction sound. If you plan on going further, I would recommend your next step as being a...

The most important section is the front section directly as it comes out of the turbo - you want a large free-flowing outlet here and from there back you want the whole system to be straight-through 3" and you just decide on volume by muffler choice. More mufflers = less power but less...

Yeah just the small set - apparently they clear most aftermarket 17s, but some 17s don't fit and the stock 17s don't fit according to reports (if you trust teh internetz). To be honest, the standard brakes are large enough that with a good bit of weight saving and good pads/fluid and a master...

Yes currently just has replacement OE-type struts from Bilstein, and has lowered springs from either Lovells or Eibach. Can't remember as they were in there when I got it. Can you get adjustable upper arms off-the-shelf? Also the way you've written that sounds like they will be redundant, if I...

Thanks for your response. It is a weekend car, used occasionally on the street but mostly doing 5-10 lap sessions at local racetracks on public days. Intending to set it up with that purpose in mind. For the moment I already have the gear I listed so I won't be going coilovers for a while...

Hi kids Building an Mk3, wanting to do some circuit work. Don't want to tip heaps of money into suspension but if there are any good areas of improvement, please let me know where to start as I don't have a lot of experience with suspension. Have shocks, springs, front strut brace, basic...

Here you go. Various aftermarket parts. But, no tie rods.... http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/performanceparts/Toyota/Supra_MK3/Suspension/Shocks

Bear in mind also that sometimes springs might not be seated correctly on some struts/coilovers which can cause a car to sit funny until you go over a few bumps or drive in & out of a few driveways. If this is the problem, you'll likely hear a big clunk in the first minute or twoo of driving...

No help to you, but I found a site the other day with a fairly extensive list of aftermarket adjustable suspension bits for the MkIII and just went looking but can't find the link. So, at least you know some stuff is out there still!

The most important thing to understand is that boost pressure means nothing. You are best to consider maximum horsepower, which in the case of a 7M is somewhere around the 600hp mark, give or take. In any case, you won't get anywhere near that on your standard turbo so just get a 3" exhaust...
