I too would like to see some SC's lowered on OEM Supra TT suspension. I've heard that it can also RAISE the car too.... I haven't seen it happen myself though.

I'd imagine it would look pretty much the same if you are on stock wheels... since the drop is only ~.5in

These are old pictures but it gives you a good idea of what is possible with stock Supra TT suspension. My friend has 20's on his car and it still works well even with those. Hope this helps.

That looks pretty good. I just bought a set of Supra TT OEM struts and Falken lowering springs today. I also have IS350 wheels so this should give me a good idea on how my car will look.

IIRC it's when the stock SC rear shocks are used with Supra springs (something along the lines that the spring perches on the SC shocks are too high for the springs).

Looks to be a nice ride height though. Wonder what it looks like on 19's.

to get the Supra "stance" with Supra springs on a SC you need to fit Supra shocks.

The rear shocks are Tokico's and the fronts are KYB. They messed up my purchase and gave me the KYB's on accident. They still work fine.

im bumping this to see if anyone else out there has an all stock supra suspension preferably on 16"s

and is there a difference in height between na springs and tt springs..i heard the tt are stiffer in the front ..does that equal na springs being a little lower in the front then tt?

Here are more pictures of all OEM TT Supra Suspension. These are borrowed from another member's for sale thread. His springs had 34,000 miles and which is probably why there is more "fender gap" than in the pictures above.

I believe that the difference between the NA and the TT springs is that the TT springs are stiffer to accomodate the extra weight of the turbos and additional hardware. I don't think that there is an actual height difference but you should get input from other members.

Excellent examples showing the .5'' drop with OEM Supra suspension.

captainsc & lev00221, your cars look great. And it does look like after some time, and I know its been covered, that once the springs settle its closer to a .75'' drop than just a .5''.

Have you guys considered using aftermarket springs to get a bit more low?
