Default Supra TT springs + SC400 shocks?

I did a search and couldn't find the answer to this question. Could this combo work? I know it would probably be only a 0.5" drop but I might enter a car show with a few others and I don't have the cash for coilovers yet.

Also, how can I tell if my stock springs have sagged? If they've dropped 0.5" then their is no good reason to buy supra springs, hehe. If I take a pic could someone tell?

Thanks!
Nick

Hella,

Stock springs do not sag .5" unless you drove 120kmiles in the desert.

Putting Supra springs in the factory SC struts will lift your car. You need Supra shocks for Supra springs. That was posted a few times but difficult to search for. The fronts are similar and the rears are not.

Also, if you take the suspension apart, you will need an alignment or ruin a set of tires. If you do not do it yourself then you are wasting a ton of cash. Spending $50 for the used Supra springs + $200 install + $80 alignment + $200 Supra struts = $530...more than half way to coilovers.

Good Luck
