So I finally decided to have my aging suspension replaced. The previous owner had also cut the springs, so needless to say the ride quality was sub par.

Here's a couple cellphone pics of the new stance. Obviously there's a huge difference in ride quality and handling. I used Supra Tein S-tech springs, and Kyb shocks. Also my mechanic told me whoever last worked on the suspension left the sway bar extremely loose!

looking good man. I bet with that sway bar tight and new suspension components it rides like a totally different car. What eklse you got in store man.

nice drop looks good, good thing the sway bars fixed that could've ended badly.

Yeah it's a huge difference. I'm doing a BFI soon, a few little cosmetic things. Then hopefully down the road a w58 swap and more horsepower

thanks man, yeah no doubt.

it looks like a nice even drop. my biggest fear with spring drops are the rears lower than the fronts...but this looks good from what i can tell. Nice!

The wheels are 18x8 fronts 18x9 rears with 38mm offset. The s-tech springs lower the Supra 1.1" front 1" rear.. so it ends up being about 1.8" / 1.7" drop on the SC.

Looks awesome, how much did the springs cost, they say $360 on the tein website but usually stuff is cheaper than the msrp. I am going to replacing my stock bilsteins with some new KYBs and getting some lowering springs and these seem perfect, I was going to go for eibach but they are only like 1.1" and I wanted something lower but not incredibly low like the 2" or whatever they also have.

I got the springs around 170 shipped on ebay. The shocks I totally ripped off ebay at $100 shipped for the set. They were new, but had damaged boxes. I got those from the Discount Tire ebay store.

Wow thats really cheap, awesome man thanks. For sure going to be getting these springs.

Interesting... I've been contemplating coilovers, but the more SC's I see on Supra springs makes me wanna change my mind

Funny what you say about your sway bar. Who ever worked on my SC before I bought it totally left the passenger side endlink disconnected from the LCA.

KYB gr 2 I am guessing, they are the standard strut for the car.
