aaron at driftmotion carries these now... thanks to me
good stuff rps. i was about to get these from aaron/alex untill i saw marco hsu selling his set and jumped on those.
dremeled
things i didnt like was the razor edges on the drilled holes on the fork ends. so i dremel-ed those smooth, and then clear coated the them since the welds were rusting, and clear coated the rods, i couldnt tell if it was bare aluminum or if it was anodized, so i just clear coated it while i was at it. i also cleaned up the threads since there was some shavings still stuck from when alex tapped them i guess.
other then that, i love them. i may modify my toe rods to be adjustable and make delrin bushings on the bushing side.

last time talked to alex he told me he can make the last arm (toe), but i havent had a chance to meet up w/ him to get it done
maybe in the next few weeks, ill keep you posted
I wouldn't use delrin, none of the arms move on only one axis meaning they'll bind and fail. Years ago there used to be nylon bushings made and they had the same issue. Don't take that warning lightly either...

yeah shock is thrown through out the entire suspension in numerous angles, theres also been issues with delrin getting swollen from water, and or cracking from shocks coming from the other angles other than its meant axis.
but with my experience alot of drift cars use this method, even alex from battle version did the same on his sc300, and i did the same on my sc300. now i know the suspension geometry is different on the supra, but the intentions remain the same of having a "solid" suspension. delrin is certainly a cheap route and most likely a route that wouldnt last long...
@rps, let me know whats up on that.
