Default Help, which lowering springs should I get?? (Eibach, Tanabe, H&R)

Hey, I will be buying lowering springs VERY soon, and I am looking at 3 different sets of brand new springs. They are all for an MKIV supra and will be mated to brand new TT shocks. The three sets are: 1.) Eibachs lowering springs for TT supra, 2.) Tanabe GF210 springs for NA supra...maybe TT, and then 3.) H&R lowering springs for TT supra

They all drop the supra 1.2inch front/1inch rear, give or take .1 inch. So these will drop my SC about 1.9 inch front/1.7 inch rear right? The prices I am looking at are pretty good, from $100 - 140 shipped. So it pretty much comes down to quality and ride. SO which do you guys recommend??

Thanks alot

Aerostar,
I'd pick the Tanabe GF210's personally, I've heard nothing but good things about them, it doesn't really seem to drop an SC though (but this was using genuine Soarer-specific Tanabe springs). Nice ride, no harshness

Good, thats all I needed to hear. I was really leaning towards the Tanabes anyway, due to their uniqueness and non-floaty ride. Im gonna be getting the ones for the supra tt.

And Ill tell you about my "hookups" once I order my springs

I think he's got a set by now

But I've also heard great things about Swift springs. Don't think there are any Aussie distributors for them though unfortunately so no experiences here in Aus.
