What did you do to your Supra today?

Before I go on better be sure:

I got this

Burger Motorsports

Cool, that is wheel and hub centric.

 

[Jofro6]

Added the carbon fiber, strut braces

Love the look of these. Do they make a difference compared to the stock in ones?

 

[RRF985]

Installed my AA catted dp.

 

[Rensuhlo]

Added the Alibaba $45 yellow DRL module.

 

[_Sp1ral0ut]

Took her to Greenville for a work event. Saw this while I was there. Which one of you scrubs is this?

F&R Eibach sway bars. Holy smokes, what a difference. Even with both on the softest setting the improvement is huge. This is exactly how I wanted the car too come from the factory and TBH, I was a little underwhelmed when it arrived feeling so laggy and soft. It now feels planted, direct and the change of direction is razor sharp. Like it's been to the gym and had a few weeks off the booze.

As this is not a track car maintaining ride quality was important. It is definitely all round a firmer ride now but not to the point where it's uncomfortable. Also, anyone that tells you that sway bars don't impact ride quality at all is talking out their ass (many, many people have told me this over the years, it's just not true).

Honestly one of my favorite 'bang for your buck' performance upgrades so far. If you love to drive, seriously consider this upgrade.

~ Well done! I installed the front eibach bar but the rear looks like a lot of work dropping the subframe / rear end.

Some do and some don't recommend adding the rear bar on this particular car. Is it because of the added work or it's not necessary?!? I'm honestly not certain.

Looks wise - 100% - as far as the handling, car corners like its on rails.

I think you can suck my balls, Mr Phil.

I see you also added some red & black temporary paint to the hood and bumper too ?

If you didn’t have to drop the subframe, would you do it? That would be a good question to ask yourself. No right or wrong. But if you have a place that you can go to that you trust, they have all the equipment to make it easy & inexpensive, labor wise.

I agree with Stedy. It’s something you typically do in pairs, front and rear, for balanced roll reduction. Ideally you should roll evenly, improving grip on all four tires without significantly shifting the car’s understeer or oversteer bias. What’s nice about Eibach, you can adjust the settings. Soft on both is substantially stiffer than OEM.

Holy smokes. Installing the rear sway bar requires the whole rear to come off????

or were you doing something else that required it.

EDIT: I read @FLtrackdays comment. Wow. Lots of work. Def I can’t do that at home.

I did change the front one, and it was not difficult at all. I think with just the front one my ride quality has improved.

Remember that sway bars are tuning devices. Set the rest of your suspension up first, then use bars for tuning.

It makes sense that the car "feels better" when adding bars with OEM struts/springs. It should be the other way around though.
