93 lexus Sc300 Lowering Springs Help
I have a 93 Lexus Sc300.. I just got some wheels.. and it needs to be dropped... Their racing hart c4 19". The previous owner of the wheels had a sc400 with eibach pro kit with supra shocks.. What do you recommend... I was checking out springs for the sc300.. TANABE NF210 LOWERING SPRING 92-00 . Vehicle Lowering :
Front :1.2 Inches
Rear : 0.9 Inches
.What do you guys think about those tanabe lowering springs.. How's the handling.. Compare wise with eibach pro kit.. Do I have to get a full supra shocks with the sc400 eibach pro kit for me runninng eibach springs?... Please help.. Thanks...

If it has supra shocks on it you need to get springs designed for a supra. SC springs wont go with supra shocks and vice versa. Tanabe also makes supra springs, I think theyre the GF210 but I dont remember how much they will drop the car. Also, if you decide to keep the supra shocks, that gives the SC added drop of approx .5"
Meaning if you get supra springs that are supposed to drop the car 1" it will actually drop your SC approx 1.5"

actually I don't have no lowering springs on my car at all.. Its completely stock.. The previous owner that I bought the C4's.. That was his suspension. What would you guys recommend. Im thinking about just getting the tanabe lowering springs with my stock SC shocks.. Or probably get some tokico's...

the drop is about a solid 2" in the front and i think just a little bit more in the rear, you will have to get SC shocks to mount these springs because they are SC Spec I dont have them but I would recomend Tokico blues i wanted them but they were out of budget at the time. These are the lowest drop with springs you can get for an SC I think. Search "espelir" and you should find a few other guys running these as well.

I'm currently in this whole suspension debacle as well. Keep in mind that the 'health' of your LCAs also have a determining factor for the comfort of the ride.
I was set on the eibach/tokicos for a supra but now Im not so sure, because Im riding 19s too, and Im not down with any rubbing, as Im looking to track this thing later this year.

I have the KYB but I wish i had the Tokico and for sure LCA gotta be on point mine are shot so my ride is a little crappy espec when I hit the brakes but other than that i'm happy with the ride of my setup. Its currently eating up my inner front tires really fast and I know the alignment is right so I am going to have to check that out i think it also might have to do with my crappy LCA

Personally the Eibach's have always been a good ride but for some reason they always have that even look. I want more of a drop in the front. This is why I asked experiences with the other two companies as far as better ride: Tanabe or Espelir.
