Probably are the most long lasting shocks you can buy for the car, the ride is nearly identical to stock TT shocks.I'm thinking the prices are around $70-$80 each.

are they a drop in affair with the SC suspension or does it need a swap of supra stuff?

i got them from ebay and they were 350.00 and 30.00 shipping. i should be getting them in about a week or so. i got the Supra application because its cheaper than SC i guess its because of the name lexus but there are interchangable.

Correct
Supra shock=supra spring
sc shocks= sc springs

wrong
Supra shock=sc springs
sc shocks =supra spring
