Poor man suspension
I have been looking around for a short time now at springs/shocks coilovers ect ect. and i have come to this conclusion, 1 - i do not have the money for a proper coilover set-up currently. and 2- i would like to invest in some springs, and shocks.
Now my dilema with the springs and shocks is i would like to get AT LEAST a 2in. drop out of it, and i want something stiff enough for some beginer/intermediate drifting. (i will eventually sell these when i get better but for now it will do) Now my question is, can some1 help me out on what some of my choices are now i have cleared what im looking for. Im trying to get a lower stance with a stiff suspension as to reduce the amount of body roll i have through corners. Along with the springs and shocks, i am purchasing a set of trd sway bars, daizen bushings, and the trd strut tower bar. Please any input is appreciated.

will be a 2" drop in the front at least... and almost 2" in the back... very low drop
can find the springs on ebay for $100 shipped roughly and the shocks for around $100-$150 used with lower mileage on supraforums...
doesnt get much cheaper than that
Supra aftermarket springs that are designed to give a 1.5"-2" drop with aftermarket supra shocks would be a great suspension setup. Aftermarket supra springs on an SC drops your car like crazy all while giving it a real stiff ride. Great for curve carving turns and drifting. A friend of mine had Supra Intrax springs with stock supra Shocks on his old SC300 and that thing handled so nice. Very low drop too. If only I had remembered that when I was looking for suspension for my car. I would have gone with supra springs in a heart beat.
since supra shocks and springs work out fine, how about Ground Control coilovers with Koni yellows? I know that setup is very popular for Hondas. But since this setup for a supra cost about 1200 bucks would it be better off saving some more and getting a traditional system, like the tein cs coilovers or JIC SF-1?
You could try to get Tokico Illuninas adj. from TT. It have 5 level of adjustable stiffness and it drop around 2"Front and 1.8" Rear I think. I have this on my car along with JIC stb and its great. I only set it at level 3 and it stiff enough for me. I hope this info help you. Good luck
