Do you mean Supra NA Eibach SPRINGS with aftermarket Supra SHOCKS?? If so, then yes, they will work just fine. That combo will lower the SC about 2" all around.

Just remember the TT Spring/shock and the Na Spring/Shock is different. They don't fit each other. If you go tt stick with TT. Don't mix and match.


I believe what I said is true, I don't remember as it has been a while.

I get a lot of different information from various places, but a NA Supra MKIV Eibach Pro-Kit springs drops it 1.3/1.0 vs 1.2/1.0 for the TT Supra.

Aftermarket Supra struts will lower the car a few more mm's. I'm getting them installed this weekend, I'll post my results.

No I don''t think they'll fit as they're a totally different strut design (the rears are, anyway).

Wrong man, Ive got NA Eibachs on TT shocks. NA springs srop you .1" lower. MKIII suspension does NOT work. And yes that setup will work nicely, Ive got those springs and I love em, about a 2" drop, maybe a little more

I currently have intrax TT springs in my SC300 shocks in the front end of my car... fits and rides ok, but it does bottom out the shock on big bumps.

Since this thread is still somewhat alive, does anyone know how much typical install for struts and springs combo cost? I didn't get a chance to do it this weekend since my mechanic changed the pricing on me (after I informed him the front A arm has to moved asides).

Couple of buddies of mine that work on 240's said they will do it for $75. What you think?

Do it with your buddies. It's actually pretty easy to do yourself. I've done it a few times on SC's and can now do it in about 2 hours start to finish.
