Front Suspension

Donor front suspension as used on JZA80 Supra and JZZ30/UZZ30 Soarer






A jig was made of the donor Soarer/Supra front crossmembers.

Rear lower front suspension mount was utilised from the steel OEM rearmost front lower crossmember.
The jig was them offered up to the frame and the fabricated mounts tack welded in the correct position.





Once tacked into position, round tube was utilised to reinforce these hard suspension points.
