Reply to "Shockers and suspension setup."

Julian, it's actually a Toyota Soarer UZZ32, which is the full hydraulic suspension version of the USA Spec Lexus SC400.

No springs, shockers or sway bars, just a hydraulic ram with nitrogen accumulator at each corner, a series of G sensors and an electronic valve body to push the fluid around.

Impossible to body roll, cannot dive under brakes and cannot sqat under drive loads. Also 4 wheel steer, and naturally, power assistance.

220 000 Soarer / Lexus SC series coupes made for the World market, and only 873 of them are UZZ32 hydraulic cars. Very rare.

I have 6 of them, two with supercharged engines.

Stock is +3 caster but we push it up for track use. Car runs 285's up front and 315's on the rear, so it's pretty well shod.
