I'm glad you posted. I was about to buy that exact Supra setup this week. Good to know it's harsh here.
Is it harsh to the point where you want them off? or just bad on the worst of roads?
(Nice , Clean SC!)
The Megan street coilover rides nicer than your AGX shocks and eibach springs? WOW! Thats good to know. How is it better than stock? What makes it worth the money?

Now I am looking at those. The price isn't much different.

Thanks RoC!

roads here in chicago are pretty bad too. I have Supra TT KYB struts and Tein lowering springs on my sc400, and they feel better then the Tein basic coilovers i had before. but its still harsh. I wouldn't do it again though so with my 97 sc300 im just saving up a little bit more and geting STANCE coilovers. Everyone that has them seems to love the way they ride.

One of the best but expensive coilovers for bumpy roads are KW's. My friend has a set on his car and it rode beautifully so I purchased some. I hope to have them installed by next week.
Any word on those KW's? How are they so far?

NF210/Tokico blues. If you want to go lower Megan Coils.

My NF210/Tokico setup rides great. We have ****ty roads up in Montreal so I wouldn't even want to go any lower than this setup. Super happy with it. Been running it for 3 summers now.
