How is the ride compared to stock?
Where can one buy this setup?
Cost of this setup?

I am debating between coilovers or this setup. Appreciate the help. Old SC had espilir and it sucked! Wanted to go Tein Basics like my other cars, and everyone said to go tein CS.

Ride is not stock but it's not bad, here in michigan the streets are horrible. I'm very satisfied. These set up was purchased from a member on supraforums 325 shipped. It's more expensive else where. The set up is for a supra TT so the prices can be different. I'm sure you can find the set up on ebay seperate.

I believe the drop is similar, there are couple of members with that combo. It looked similar.

Thanks Haas. Some people said that wasn't low enough, some said it was. I am just confused. Since you had your drop on stock wheels, I wanted to compare to your car.

Enough is a personal preference, i like Eibach b/c they lower about 1.5 inches which is good enough with the streets in michigan. I would of gone towards Tein Basics but from what i read they ride rough in California. If it rides rough in Cali, i don't want to think how it will ride here in Michigan lol.

Espilirs were too low for me. So maybe this setup (for sale) will work for me.

I would too, those were an option as well. I like the TT eibach more bc it drops a little bit more than the SC model.

Would this suspension setup work or what is recommended?
19's will lose ride quality, with a body kit i would consider coiloversif i were you just so you can lower it as low as you want. I'm not that good with suspensions.

I left the setting that i got them in, they were used. I haven't looked yet lol, i don't know how to adjust it. I tried with a screw driver but couldn't get it to move. The ride is not that good to tell u the truth bc there are so many damn pot holes around here, it's just bad. I'm running 35 series tires so that could be the bad part also.
