I know what you mean, you're just saying it wrong. The stroke on the front shocks is too short, it has TOO little travel. It's something like 4.25" or so. And with a close to stock rate spring, if I remember right, well over half of that travel is eaten up. You'll also notice that the stock...
There's just so many better colors for wheels.
Black wheels just fill up the wheel well with nothingness. It's almost as bad as color matched wheels.
Do white or gold or copper or anything but black.
Coilovers generally ride stiffer. They use cheaper dampers and don't always have the best selection. Meaning it seems like they'll have a range of dampers with different valving that they can use on anything they make. Sometimes the weight and spring rate of what they're going on will work...
It's not the delrin that would break, it would be the shock that would see the damage.
The amount of stress on the damper from street driving is still a lot.
I would switch to polyurethane if I were you.
But then again, if the rubber mounts were destroyed from use, then I doubt the...
Delrin is only a good bushing material when the part rotates about a constant axis. Any misalignment with the shock will result in a bending load that the shock does not want to see and it will greatly decrease the life of the damper and could, in the worst case, result in a failed part.
I...
Does the car understeer a lot or is it balanced?
Do you only want to change something because you feel like the rear is rolling too much?
How low is the car?
The spring rates don't look too bad. I mean they seem like a better split than some of the other cheap coilovers out there...
Why waste a couple hundred on sway bars instead of just saving that for coilovers?
Or just get new bushings and endlinks. And save the rest of the money for cooler stuff.
Unless they race the ferrari's then no.
Find a shop that will suggest good specs for your car or a shop that will align the car to your specs.
But then again, you just have lowering springs on a supra. And it sounds like a daily driver. So it's probably not that critical. I mean it...
The ones midnight mk3 posted have that inner piece that can increase steering angle.
They work, but I don't really like them. They basically just allow the rack to travel more into the housing. Similar to steering spacers, these are just bigger. I don't like how much they affect bumpsteer...
This weighed 550lbs at the scrap yard.
Nothing left on it that could be unbolted besides the front tow hooks. All interior sound deadening was removed. So pretty much everything.
Rest of the pics are here:

You should search for the thread I made a little while back. It had rough weights on a ton of things. It's probably the same place you got the chassis weight and that 550lbs was without anything on the chassis that could be removed except for the front tow hooks.
Yeah, anything that you...
3000 is going to be hard with the cage without really cutting anything out.
But if you can replace some heavier components with lighter stuff, you'll help to balance out the weight of the car.
Depends how much you cut out.
Search for the thread I made over the summer. It's got weights of a lot of things.
You can definitely get the car under 3200, but depending on how much you cut out and how much the stuff you're adding weighs, you might be close.
