SC 400/300 pics on lowered springs
Hello all, can you guys/gals post some pics or links of any sc400/300 sitting on just lowered springs?
Please list what kind of springs it is and its spec. If possible the ride quality as well.
Im planning on getting some springs, but dont know which one to get. I dont want the car to be too lowered, just enough to close up the gap between the fender and tire. At the same time I want a nice ride quality. Im not looking to get coil over either...just springs. Thanks all.

just search man...the three things you need to search for are
1) Espelir
2) Eibach
3) Tanabe
other than there are really no spring manufacturers that people are happy with
The best bet to preserve ride quality is Eibach Pro Kit...1" -1.5" lowering
Espelir is lower at close to 2" and takes a **** on ride quality.

Eibach's for the SC400 will drop the car 2", will be very stiff ride for the first six months then start to soften up...You will get wheel hop if you are sporting big power but that will go away in or around six months as well.... That is what happen to my ride...

A pro-kit is a pro-kit, there are no variations in spring height

Infact my car rides so low that I had to remove the backing and framing on the front spoiler so it flex's effortlessly and does not get permently damaged when going up driveways ect...

Yes the EIbach springs I used were ordered for the Supra...2" drop and is what I measered from before and after.....My experience is legit I assure you..The 1.5 drop that Eibach claims ends up being a true 2" drop....Forgot about that little detail. Exact same fit....I've been running on my Supra blue Eibach springs for over 2 years now, I should know...

The supra eibachs will lower the car 1.5" initially, and as the car settles on the springs it will be actually around 2". The SC300/400 specific Eibach pro-kit is barely over 1" lowering.Remember that with supra eibachs, you must use supra shocks also

That's right...Glad we got this cleared up... Lowering the Sc really makes a difference in appearance....For the better....Handling too....Suspension however is not so friendly at times....I would still recommend the coilover options if you can afford it....
