Default Supra lowering kit work for my SC300

would the TOKICO Illumina Series lowering kit work for my 99SC300 Part Number ILK262 Adjustable shocks and springs. Does anyone have this installed on there SC? How much of a drop is it, and what do u guys think of this lowering kit is it better then the regular eiback 1in drop with Tokico hp struts. And hows the ride quality.

I am interested in these too. Found for 550$. Lowers the Supra 1.25/1.00, so should be 1.75/1.5 on the SC.

Anyone running these?

If they come with the springs/shocks then it should fit fine. When installed on the SC, it will be about 0.5-0.75 inches lower than the advertised drop for the Supra.

i have tokico hp/eibach combo. feels like stock...aka rides like a couch. way too soft. the illumina are good shock. i have a friend with good experience with them...just not on an SC.

if i wasnt saving up for coilover i would get the bilstein/hypercoil combo. you can have them made to your specs. they are not damping adjustible but only height adjustible.

i take my car to drift days during the summer and daily drive it so i want something that i will be able to setup for street and track so im saving up for STANCE. if you only daily drive your car bilstein/hypercoil for the win.

the only reason i went with my tokico hp/eibach combo because my shocks were blown when i bought my car and needed new ones AND they only cost me 150 bucks for everything with like 10K on them.

if i ACTUALLY had to pay retail for them and but my setup i wouldnt. its too soft for my taste.

conclusion: tokico illumina good. bilstein/hypercoil better. depending how you have them valved and if you have your car corner weighed prior to having them made they can perform better then 95% of cheaper coilover out there.
