What kinda TRD suspension is on this car? I'm curious. Could you also do me a favor and measure the strut bar length for me please? I'm gonna be making one soon and if you have some maths for me it would help.

Thanks!

they said they found the suspension for sale in japan. and brought it over. i believe its the true mk2 trd suspension. but i cant find research because they didnt even hit america till the late 80 so fukkkk. yeah for sure ill take a few measurements. its like impossible to find one of these.

That's amazing---TRD MKII suspension! Had to cost some $$$.
Check out ARPUS83 on this site. Vince, from Honolulu.
Ummm, with all the susp. and brake upgrades....you must be thinking how it could easily handle more power.
