I used to own a 92 SC400 (RIP now) that I put an Eibach Pro-Kit on with Tokico Struts. It was shoed with some chrome 18"s. I really loved the way it looked and handled.

I am curious what coilovers will give me a similar ride? I am all about handling. I do want the coilovers so I can have the perfect look height-wise, but hitting corners excessively fast is my main motivation.

I drive hard and don't want to have the float, body roll, or drifting off my preferred line as I corner. I plan on putting 18"s up front with 19"s in the rear if that will make a difference to the suggestions I get.

 

idk for sure but a guess is those tien cs or cst.....

they seem to be a cumfort but slightly stiffer ride from what i hear...

also a question for u why do u want to run an inch bigger in the rear ive seen alot of cars like that what is the advantage?

 

The staggered wheels are all for looks. With the bodylines of the car the same size wheels look different. It's an optical illusion. Like O--o

So I want it to look like O--O

Just a personal preference.

 

Someone here has GOT to have more info or answers than what I have gotten so far.

Please! Someone? Anyone?


Thanks

 

To the best of my knowledge going with coilovers would be your best bet, as long as its a coilover kit with struts included not one of those cheap universal kits off ebay. With the coilovers the spring rate and valving is matched to that combination by the manufacturer so in turn you should get the better results for handling, all you have to do is adjust the height to where you want it. As low as possible is the way to go as long as your not bottoming out. The only drawback is the price, you realy cant find them for less then $1000. So if cost is an issue I'd just with a set eibachs they work well. Just make sure all your struts are good before you throw them back on the car, and check to see if your rear wheels are rubbing on the fenders (after you lower it). Hope this helps

 

Price isn't that big of an issue. It seems everywhere I look I am going to spend $1350-$1450 for a set. Maybe I missed the places selling em for $1000. But would like to know more of where to find such prices.

Thanks for the insight and reply to my question!

 

I think the set I saw for $1000 was used, but i just saw that JIC Magic is having a sale on coilovers, $1160-$1200. I don't know if that includes the ones you need, it said on their home page that supra coil overs were $1160

 

No matter where I look, it seems all the same

SC300/400 92-99 JZZ30 JZA80FLTA1 14kg/10kg $1,445

Thanks for looking out though!

 

I have been looking high and low for a non-knock off, or non-crappy set. Is this the quality I am looking for?
