Default Supra suspension?

I know this may have been addressed before, but I was wondering if the supra suspension fits the SC? Also, does anyone out there have the brand "NEX" coilovers. If so how good are they?

all mk4 supra jza80 coilovers will fit the sc. supra rear sway bar works if you replace the subframe mounts. supra LCA will work too. if you put supra shocks and springs on it will lover the car about 0.5". if you get lowering springs you can drop it probably as much as 2"

i have heard of NEX but dont know anything about them. dont they sell on ebay for about 600 bucks? for that price you can get a descent used set that was not abused....if you're lucky.

or you can just but a set of stance coilovers. really good bang for the buck. and they ride amazing

I know NEX has 2 diff versions of their coilovers......one is only height adjustable and the SS version is also dampening adjustable along with height. I think they are similar to Megan Racig.....they are a subsidiary to MaxSpeed.

sorry to say this but the term DAMPENING is not in any way related to suspension. the proper term is DAMPING. i hate when people say that. DAMPENING is the process of making something wet. like a rag.
DAMPING is the term referring to the ability of the DAMPER to adsorb energy and suppress it and prevent continous oscillations.

when i was over at TOUGE FACTORY, TF Dave gave me a demo of dampening and damping. now i know.....and so do you

im not trying to be an *******. its just better when you know the right terminology.
