Supra Stock Springs on a 93 SC400
I know this has been done before...
I have heard estimates that the height adjustment is aprox .5 to 1 inch drop. Is this accurate? Could some measure from the bottom of the front lip to the ground and from the bottom of the rear bumper to the ground for a clear figure. (This obvously needs to be done on a 93 SC400 with stock tire demensions etc.)
I would like a 1 inch drop as this is my daily driver. I have already replaced my Supra TT springs and shocks with KYB/eibach. The old ones are just sitting here in my garage. I was thinking I might as well put my 42K mile supra springs on my Lexus.
I realize I would also need to use stock supra shocks because they would not be compatable in the rear.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Also it is my opinion that the KYB/eibach is much more rough than the stock suspension on the supra. Although I am not sure how it would effect the Lexus.
Thanks,
Scott

Here's the heights;front-14-5/8";rear-13-3/4",both measurements are from the center of the wheel to the inside of the wheel arch.The rear is to the plastic liner.
I wouldn't trade it for anything else as a daily driver;rides very nice and handles really well.

Supra tt shocks/spring on sc
Hey.. I'm kinda confused here. So.. are we saying that using the Supra TwinTurbo shocks and springs on a Lexus Sc would work, and ride better, plus improved handling? As far as height, did you guys also say the Lexus sc would drop .5 to 1 inch using the Supra TT Springs? The reason I ask is because I'm currently using Eibach/Tokico springs and shocks on my Lexus Sc. ****!!! the ride is horrible.. ; it so bumpy.. I don't like it!! Especially for a rather luxor ride and look. I mean.. if the TT springs did drp .5-1inch, would it be noticible? You guys also mentioned the rear sway bars from a Supra TT, and onto the Lexus Sc? Would that work also? Gee.. this is great.. It seems though that all Supra TT parts work on the Lexus Sc..
Please Help..

Ok,for a true luxo-ride,you need to get a lincoln or a caddy,but my daily passenger couldn't notice any difference in the ride from what was a well maintained stock suspension.
Just got my 17X8,17X9.5 wheels on today(whoopeee!),and it's working out very well with the parts we are talking about.
