Default KYBs and springs

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got a set of KYB Gr2s (bought from the junk yard), and now I wanna get a set of lowering springs. I would like to lower the car 1.5". I have noticed that people use the Supra springs. I want these because they are about $100 cheaper on ebay... One more thing, I am doing this for looks, not performance, everything else is stock...


I am asking for recommendations for springs...

As always

THANX IN ADVANCE

if you use supra shocks, you need to use supra springs.
if you use SC shocks, you need to buy SC springs.
If you try and mix them all 4 will not fit. only 2 of them will.

you realize your first link is for a mk3 supra. thats why it is cheaper.
you need to be looking at mk4 supra springs if you have mk4 supra shocks.

Im on the Kyb's and tanabe nf210's. close to stock like ride and its just enough drop to not look like a 4x4. for a more extreme drop you can try the espelir active super down springs.

Why would you buy used shocks?
