Thanks for the info. Too rich for my blood right now, but nice info.

BTW, MK4 supra shocks/springs/coilovers/strut braces work for SC's.
The front sway also works, but you need to get the supra subframe mounts to get a rear MK4 supra swaybar to work.

Hope this helps,

Marcus

Kei Office is outta business now?

I've got a set of Kei Office coilovers sitting in my driveway The front are alright, the rears have shat themselves. Still don't know if to get them rebuilt with new springs (the springs are way too stiff for street use... I'd be guessing at least 16~18K fronts and around 10~12K back).

Them Silk Roads sound tempting. However, did you custom order your spring rates on them? Looking onthe company website it says that the spring rates are 12 front and 8 rear.

Anyhow let us know how it goes with them.

Yikes. errr outa buisness ehhh they're just not producing anything anymore. tsuchiya ended kei office to start another company called DG-5. similar stuff but fine tuned i bet.

If you're gonna try drifting, don't forget a LSD.
