I've already purchased a set of LOW Kings and Supra Bilsteins but just trying to work out what other parts I need.

The first diagram is the rear setup on a UZZ30. I'm guessing what I need from here is the top support (48750), the spring insulator (48257), the spring bumper (48341) but not the shock cap (48553).

The second diagram is the front setup on a UZZ30. I'm assuming I need all but the spring and shock from here.

So does this sound correct and if so what are my chances of getting parts for all 4 corners 2nd hand?

I sold the set of KYB's with stock springs that I removed from my UZZ30 for $200NZ. Easiest way is prolly to get a set of worn out stock shocks and springs from someone who has fitted coilovers.

I have a full set that came off my wreck for $200. Bolt directly in and are in good working order. Just disconnect the air suspension computer after fitting and away you go.

Andrew, is that a full setup (from the shock cap to the strut) for all 4 corners? Are you able to email me some photo's?

Cheers.

David if you bought JZA80 Supra shockies, assuming they are complete you dont need any other parts, they bolt straight in...

No, Phil, I bought the shocks separate to the springs and they dont have any top support.

Can you get the JZA80 Supra shocks and fit with super low King springs?
Does anyone know?

King doesn't make a SUPER LOW spring for the Soarer or the Supra, just a LOW spring.

OK, I am now being told by my mechanic that the yellow Supra bilsteins in the photo above can't be used on my Soarer because the spring height would be way out and only JZA80 springs will fit that strut.
I was told by Castle Hill Toyota that these would fit fine so just wondering has anyone else here used them or have I bought something completely useless to me??

i have them in my UZZ31. But yes i needed a Supra King spring on one end of the car (pretty sure it was the rears that are different but cant be certain now).
The Struts DO fit.

I found a set of Billstein lowered shocks and springs from Aristo.

Can they be fitted to Soarer?

Went to my mechanic today and he have a set of JZA80 Supra Bilstein shockies and he fitted to my soarer.

Three out of four airbag struts are leaking oil and only one rear is still in good condition.

I found the rear sit a bit too low and the front is alright.

Recently purchased a set of JZA80 top mounts from a member of supraforums.com.au to use with the yellow JZA80 bilsteins in the photo above. However, the end of the strut rod is too small for the opening in the top mount and does not fit in firmly as I expect it should.

I've asked James at Castle Hill Toyota (where I bought the struts) why they don't fit and he said to ask you guys!

Any ideas?

Including Springs and Installation?

Know if your mechanic has any left? I need to change my stock shocks. They're screwed.
