Eibach Pro kit for Supra TT. Drop on sc?
I've got the Supra TT Eibach Pro-kit matched to Supra Bilstein shocks on my SC400. The car is definitely lower than the 1.5/1.1" advertised drop for the Supra. About 2" in front, 1.5" seems about right. However, I installed the Daizen front and rear camber kits set at 2 degrees front and 1.5 degrees rear. I just had the car aligned and they were able to adjust fully within the recommended ranges for all settings. I'm pretty happy with this setup with my 18" wheels. It's definitely much firmer, without being uncomfortable. I have noticed that at highway speeds on certain roads, it can get a bit bouncy.

awwww.. you don't take my word for it? haha.. well i'm sure you'll get confirmations from everyone that is using this set up..
I'm not sure how much you can get away with lowering the car, and avoid a camber kit. My alignment printout showed that only my right front wheel was outside of the specified range before they performed the alignment (that was with the camber kit installed.) It was about a half a degree out. Without the Daizen kit that would have been 2.5 degrees beyond the most extreme recommended setting! I don't know how close they would have been able to get it without the camber correction. Negative camber in the 2-3 degree range is what drift cars often run. With the kit installed, they were able to set everything pretty much dead center within each of those ranges, and even set a little less negative camber on the left side to account for driver weight.
Not only do you have the camber setting of each particular wheel to consider, there are also things like cross camber that have to be addressed. So, you won't be able to just slide the adjustment bolt all the way over to eat up as much of the negative camber as possible. They may need to even add a bit of negative on one side for the sake of cross camber, to help keep the car from pulling one way or another on the road.
If you're looking for cost effective Supra springs , check out the Tein H-Tech springs. I don't remember what the advertised drop is for those, but is was under an inch. I want to say that it was .5" front, and .4" rear. It will be lower on the SC, but obviously not as low as the Eibachs. I just put Tein H-Tech's and Bilstein shocks on my IS300. I am in love with these springs. They noticeably lowered the car, but it's nowhere near slammed. The ride comfort is definitely still there, but roll during cornering was drastically reduced. If I'd had these on my IS before I lowered my SC400, I probably would have opted for them over the Supra TT Eibach Pro-Kit I put on. One word of caution however, Tein is trying to phase out the H-Tech springs and is pushing the S-Tech series which is lower and stiffer. So, a lot of places that list the H-Tech's don't have them in stock. They are on backorder indefinitely from the Tein warehouse. Options Auto Salon had the IS kit in stock at a decent price. Or you could check eBay. They're typically more affordable than the Eibachs.
