Hey all,
Tried having a brief look around, but i need a definite answer, will Supra MKIV JZA80 Bilsteins be alright for my dad's stock UZZ31? He is concerned that they can't handle the V8/weight differences and then if they do fit, he then thinks that the camber and alignment will be out for the wheels.
Can anyone help at all?

Changing shocks and height is going to affect the alignment. Key would be to get an experienced or good wheel alignment place to do the job.

To sustain the weight, get springs with a higher spring rate.

One thing to note about the bilsteins, they are going to make the car drop quite a fair bit.
You can resolve that by doing a coilover conversion or cutting grooves on the strut to adjust the spring perch.

Hope this helps.
