i just wanted to know how the car is after lowering it
i have a 96 sc300 and i'm thinking about putting tokico struts and eibach springs on, but i didn't want to if it would leave me with a super bumpy ride :-(

i just wanted to get an opinion from everyone that's done it.
thanks :-)

 

I have Eibach and Tokico combo on my '95 SC400. On a smooth road, I can't feel any differences compare to the stock ride except, my car handles a lot better and corners better. However, on a bumpy road, my car is bumpier than the stock ride. Something you would expect when you are modifying your suspension, right? I can live with the bumpier ride because my car handles a lot better than the stock ones with the suspension mods and 17" rims.

bumpy road like a few potholes or driving through the countrY?

is it an unbearable bumpiness or is it still a pretty smooth ride? thanks for the response

 

Peter, can you post a picture of yours. I have 17" rims and am thinking about going for Eibach/Tokico when my shocks are shot.
Progressive springs should give you a smooth ride on normal road.

 

well i have that on my 400
i really like it ... im not the bit displeased...
it did what i wanted it to do ...
but it will make it a lil more bumpy...
but for the most part its good

but not all good things come for free...
sometimes you gotta sacrifice something
for something else you want that you dont have

 

I will post it once I get a digital camera, I should be getting one from uBid in about a week.

I will also post pictures of my front strut bar (modified) and HKS & K&N filters.

 

What's the best prices that you guys have gotten on the eibach tokicos...just parts? How about installation?

 

I don't have the exact figure but around $300 for Eibach Pro kit, $300 for Tokico struts (front and rear) and $200 for installation. Damn, $800 for everything, I should've got Tein HA for that kind of money.

 

I have the Eibach prokit on my SC400, with 20" rims and it is not unbearable at all. I like the feel better than stock.. just my opinion.

 

Ehhh, here, you over payed for The Eibach kit. Why do Tokico? Those are stock Supra TT shocks. Don't know about installation costs.

Here is my plan:

-Supra TT Eibach Pro. It drops more than the Lexus Eibach Pro kit
-KYB AGX adjustable shocks (it's only 99 bucks at tirerack.com) so I can adjust how stiff it is
-18" rims. I am thinking about 18x8 in front and 18x9.5 in rear.

 

springs = $240

tokico shocks front and rear = $270

installation = $120

That's what I paid for mine.

 

do-luck, where did you get your springs from?

 

've got mine lowered and i have no problems. Runs very smooth with tt rims.

 

Heh, if you want, email supraparts@earthlink.com. His name is Mohd and he'll get them for you cheap. Right around that price.

 

$120 Installation!

Where?
