    With this setup will I be able to achieve a slight tuck with15x8's with 195/45/15's or 15x10's?

    Not quite sure.. I do know I have way more mental hours than physical hours into it though.

    I can barely tuck 245/45/17 with big offset. Not sure if a 10 in wide rim will tuck or not? Depends on offset... I'd guess prob not without some fender work.

    Best part of this build is having my boy help me and teaching him the basics as we're spending some great time together.

    How do adjust your camber with the set up you have up front?

    Same as factory, with shims. The upper arms reuse the old mounts. I do need drop spindles as the upper arm angles are a bit extreme. The truck is pretty low, so depending on how low you want it, you may or may not need spindles.

    such an amazing thread.. thanks for that. I'm in Australia.. not sure can get away with some of the mod.. I have an rn90 Ive owned for a year and just starting to look into doing an irs and trying to figure out what to do to the front.. I was thinking of soarer rear end.. so is the supra stronger? Ill have to keep re reading htis thread to try and understand how you chose spring rates, and some of the terms, but i think this is the way I'll go.. very enlightening thread mate, and awesome work on your beast.

    Thanks and your welcome. Feel free to get a hold of me with any questions. As for spring rates, just an educated guess lol. Truck has yet to see the street, so only time will tell. The fuel system has taken most of the funds allocated for the project at this point. But should be done with that here soon.

    Yeah shall do.. sorry been a while since ive been on here.. Why did you choose the mkIII supra? i started looking around, its going to be a while before i get to do it as im off to uk to race motorbikes for a couple months.. i found a guy in usa that says he makes diffs for the mkIII 9 inch bolt straight in.. look interesting.. im also thinking of putting coil over front suspension in.. trying to see if any other car will bolt in or if i have to do a fab job.. then i can get back to improving the motor.. i run a 1uzfe in mine.. just spent 3 days bolting and wiring in electric windows lol why do we start these projects lol:headbang:

    I know this is really trying to revive an old post but just wondering if you ever finished it off and got it all running mint?
