MKIV Bilstein on oem springs the way to go?
All of my sc have had coilovers however I am gtowing very fond of the Bilstein shocks as my evo and my 4runner and Porsche all had them and the ride is far better than coils so I think the suspension of choice would be this combo (supraa mkiv bilstien and supra stock springs) however I am not sure if I need stock supra springs or eibach lowering springs?
I need to lower it a bit but am looking to keep the geometry in check still as well as maintain a smooth ride.

I've heard better things about the factory MKIV TT springs than Eibach Pro-Kit springs. The Bilstein AK's are fantastic shocks. I've only ever used them with Hypercoil springs which are fantastic but linear rate. They can be tough on poor roads. I'd only recommend the milder versions of those if the roads you drive on most are in poor condition.
My vote is for the TT springs. I've considered trying them myself to soften my ride but I heard somewhere that one of the four needed are no longer available new from Toyota. I have not personally confirmed that with a Toyota parts counter.

Well the coil overs sucked me back in as I got a set of HKS hiper max from a good friend which I had those on my evo 3 back in the day and they were the best coilovers I ever had however they are big $$ and hard to find but these just fell in my lap.
I may still go the bilstein rout depending on how these feel to me .
