So I Have noticed a lot of body roll with my car. And I plan to start buying and collecting new suspension parts soon. I have to keep stock ride height due to my 4" exhaust. Will I be able to do so with coil overs? and Which brand do you recommend for this. The car will be mostly Daily driven with some highway roll fun. Right now I am running factory mk4 supra suspension and it squats really hard when I get on it from a slow roll or stop.
I have drive SC's with Megan EZ streets, Megan LP and PBM's. The EZ streets are a good value if you are on a tight budget. You can get almost stock ride height with the EZ streets. You can also look into the supra turbo spring shock/ strut combo id you do not want to go too low.
mjegan how would you compare the ride of the BC coilovers to the stock suspension i assume you had before? i am leaning towards those or the gixxer drew setup..

It's going to be stiffer than stock obviously, since the top hats on the stock suspension have a rubber mount and these are solid, but I think it's not terribly harsh. I used to have Megan LP's and the BC's are less bumpy and jarring. The handling over stock coils is wondrous and there is very little if any body roll, and upgrading the lower sway bars and isntalling upper sway bars will help even more with body roll.
Like mjegan said the BC coils have a LOT of adjustability for ride height. You can go from slammed to above stock if you need to. Gixxer Drew will be less harsh of a ride though than any coilover set up again because you keep the rubber top hat mounts.
Thanks for the info guys. PBM'S is out of the question. On their highest setting they are too low. Right now im looking into BC, Stance, Feal, and Fortune Auto coils.

They ride alittle stiff, but I live in Detroit which isn't known for nice roads. I also bought the supra set which have slightly higher spring rates. If I were to do it again I would get the SC set.
