I am currently trying to install a set of H&R Springs and Tokico Illumina shocks for the Supra on my SC3. But neither are being compatable.. terrible part is that both model numbers on the springs and shocks are correct.
Is there something I am missing? Any information would be great, thanks!

 

should work.. are you sure you didn't mix up the fronts shock with the back? isn't enough information here to be of much help only other thing i can say is try lining the old ones in the car and the new ones and compare

 

I'm placing the front and back ones correctly, the problem is that I am unable to compress the spring when the shocks and spring are seated together. It appears that the shocks travel is too long for the spring.

 

ahh ok theres a special tool to compress the springs to put it together as the springs are under load in that assembly you can pick one up from harbor frieght i think or any tech like me would have it

 

thats the thing, I was with a mechanic at the time and he said there wasn't a possible way for him to be able to compress the spring.. he believed it to be too small for the shock

 

your mechanic isnt a very good mechanic if he thinks its impossible to compress the coil spring.

LOL you can rent a compressor tool at a local automotive store, use it, return it, and deposit is refunded.

 

Any reason why this isn't posted in the suspension forum?

Moved for you.

 

Apologies for wrong section...
He HAD a similar compressor tool, I guess he had no clue on the account of them being smaller because of the dropping springs

I guess I will have to take my car to someone else..

Edit: But 100% my setup should work?
MKIV Supra: Tokico Adj's and H&R Springs

 

Once the weight of the car is on the ground. The shock/spring will stay compressed.
