eibach/tokico setup feelin's??
Has anyone who has installed the 1" drop actually been TOTALLY satisfied with the look. I already know about handling. I'm tryin' to ascertain if 1" is enough to be noticed. If any one has any pic's with the 1" drop and 18" wheels... if you can post or send them to gls22@hotmail.com, I would be most appreciative.

that's a tough one. i have the eibach/tokico setup and i'm thinking i want to lower the front more. it was fine at first, but when i look at it, it's barely noticeable. you feel it, but looks wise, you can hardly tell. i have a pic somewhere of howie and my car side by side. you can hardly tell mine is lowered. I have 19s on the way and thinking maybe of the coilover setup now. if money is an issue, then supra TT springs.

Do note that many OEM springs are sagged due to time...
Hence some cars won't seem to drop as much.

yeah....
If anyone has pics of an sc on 18's with stock vs 1" drop vs 1.5" drop or any combination of those, I would like to see that also.

I got Eibachs and Tokicos with 19s, got about the tip of a finger from the tire to the fender, looks fine to me. WHen I pull up next to other SC my mirrors are alot lower that theirs.

I got eibachs cut 1.5 coils rear and 1.75 front... It was nice before I got the kit. Now its a little too low. I am planning to go with the supra set up... If anyone is interested, the are only about 5 months old. Probably let it go for $200 shipped...

Looks like the Eibach springs are like that for most cars...I had them on my car at first, and felt an improvement over stock for handling, yet it looked no different from stock. I will seriously look into the other alternatives....

I just got my Eibach Supra NA Prokits in the mail today. I'm awaiting the Supra TT struts. I' should have the whole deal installed by the end of this week. I've have pictures for you guys by then. BTW, this setup drops 1.3 inches in the front and 1 inch in the rear. In my estimation, this drop will be perfect, however my springs may be sagging... (63k miles they should be okay, right??).
The next best option is Tein adjustable coilovers, but you'd better have around $1200 for those.
