I have an LSJ, but i have pixie dust for breakfast once a week, so i have SS/TC axles, knuckles and brakes. No, it's not a direct swap, SS/SC hubs aren't compatible.

I'm on Stance GR+ Coilovers with a locking ring removed in front.

No binding as far as i can tell. The LS/LT/SC guys all seem to have binding issues even with minor lowering.

Haha gotta love Pedders. But as much as I love improved handling, I think when I move to SC i'm going to get some coilovers so I can slam my car. I love the look to much.

You're a ra-tard. Spin off the black sleeve that bolts to the knuckle, and then spin off the lowest locking collar. Then spin knuckle part back on.
