well depends what you mean by "last". Sure they'll still work, but at 80k miles they're probably damn worn in by now especially if it was a supra owner since they drive a bit more rough. By now they're a bit spoungey I'm assuming.

But if your stock struts have even more miles than that, you want the drop, and you're doing the work yourself I'd say go for it. But keep in mind you're going to have to replace the struts again in the not too distant future.

A lot of stock shocks for most cars made by tokico.
80,000 miles is too much, just get the new ones.

if you're going to be redoing/upgrading your suspension why take a step back? granted these are an improvement on your shocks but not by much, you'll be replacing them again in a short while, just shell out the extra 125 or so and get somethin nicer. my .02 worth
