A/C question - Suspension Q
I have a 95 N/A Supra 5 speed. If you take out the A/C do you get a noticable hp gain?
Also, I need to replace my struts and figured I would get a new suspension. What are some good brands to look at? Thanks |

The Mkiv Supra doesn't have struts, it has a double-wishbone suspension with coilover shocks. A couple of good replacements for the oem shocks are Koni and KYB (AGX). If you want to go to a full coilover system, Teins are very popular.

Yea I think I might go with Tein for my suspension. However with the A/C I heard that it uses a belt in the engine and when you take it out you remove that belt which would give you extra horsepower. Has anyone heard of this?
Thanks in advance |

Also, when I took it in to have it looked at the guys said that the "struts" were leaking hydraulic fluid and wont pass inspection. If the car doesnt have struts what were they talking about?
