Default SC Eibachs or Supra Eibachs

Guys,

I want to drop my car to get rid of my big gap. I need more than a 1" drop so the SC Eibachs won't work. Are the Supra Eibachs a direct replacement and do they come in N/A and TT?? If so, what is the drop?

Thx,

jonny

the NA supra drops it at 1.3" front and 1.0" rear but they are discontinued by Eibach.. The Turbo supra drops it at 1.2" in front and 1.0" rear and are still available.

Something people never realize is that you need to look at and compare supra and sc springs/struts. Supra stock springs are lower than the SC stock springs. If you replace OE springs n struts from an SC with OE Supra springs/struts, the car will be lowered at about 0.7" in front and rear. Therefore, when you get springs designed for the Supra, add about another 0.7" drop to it when used on an SC. In other words, the Turbo Supra Eibachs will lower your car at ABOUT 1.9" in front and 1.7" in rear.

Hope that helps

Definitely go with Supra Eibachs. The difference with SC Eibachs is just not enough for me to justify the costs...
