You can add spacers.

Run lots of camber.

Or modify the hub.

Basically the same thing 240 guys do.

More Angle:
- Steering rack spacers from Beech Performance
- Delete steering damper
- Modify/delete steering stops
- 25mm wheel spacer

I've been planning on getting better pics of that steering vs the stock steering but havent had time


Camber:
typically ~2-3 degrees depending on what you need.. max for stock setup is like ~2.. Beech performance is selling adjustable upper control arms

if you pick up any of the real JDM drifto magazines, theyll help you probably the best, cause thers alot of cars over in japan they still drift that are like ours, and they still get crazy angle out of there stuff.

The pic I posted above is almost maxing out the rack.. I'll try to get an accurate measurement of angle

We were going to investigate using a sc300 rack one of these days.. I've heard rumors that it will give some more and not be too hard of a swap BUT haven't had time to research it

mk3* appears to have quite a bit of angle, I have to agree with everyone else in trying to change the suspension set up to macpherson would just be a step backwards.
Are you already drifting the car? My first concern would probably be good coilover's and bigger brakes

i'll have to get an accurate measurement of ours.. We were with some 240 guys the other weekend and they started talking about how Supras are impossible to get angle out of.. pulled out the pic and told them the few simple things that were done.. always nice to see someone admit they are wrong

hey im running a completely depowered rack with 5mm spacers installed, damper removed, shaved bumpstops and some 20mm wheel spacers. you can certainly drift this car and with these few simple mods you can get good angle.
