hey guys long time no see

My mates V8 soarer has a couple of leaking airbag struts.

now I remember hearing a rumor that the TT struts + Springs would bolt straight on as a replacment, but this sounds too good to be true.

Logically youd think there'd have to be some customisations to be done, but im hearing they bolt straight on...?

im also wondering if the stock tt camber arms / control arms are the same as well


can anyone shed some light onto this job?

cheers,

Eddie

yes the tt, supra does just bolt in.

but have to remove the air pump fuses before removing the airbags.

im going to replace mine soon with HSD TT coilovers (why go backwards in suspension).

JZZ31, Mk IV Supra, UZZ30, JZZ31 etc all fit. Actually a load of struts to choose from - OEM units are around $150 each from Toyota (no idea who make them as they are stamped Toyota), or you can get KYB's for around the same. Avoid nasties like Munrow etc.

Yup, 30 series Soarers are all pretty much interchangeable except for the UZZ32. The UZZ31 (airbag) does have some differences due to the height sensors etc, but these become irrelevant if you are getting rid of the airbags, so you can swap out links, arms etc to your hearts content.
