Default suggestions for 1"- 1.5" lowering kits

I would really like to use the Tein s-tech but I dont think they make them for the SC. I found this http://www.body-kits.biz/Tokico-HP-S...9-p-67850.html for various prices (I think this was the highest).

All I want is something affordable, about a 1" drop, (its hard enough for me to get my 6'3" *** in the car) and a brand I've heard before or atleast has a good reputation. I'm trying to keep it around $500 but thats only if it shocks and springs, I'm guessing with a 1" drop I should be able to use the stock shocks (right?)

I have 18x9.5 with a 245/40 all around, will I have any fender issues with a 1"-1.5", I'm guessing no but I want some expert opinion.

Pecosbill, Would you mind posting pictures of your SC? I would like to see how it looks with your suspension setup.
Thanks

Sorry for this noob question but I'm new to all this and wanted to make sure I'm getting this all right.
I have a stock 95 SC400 and was wondering if putting the supra bilsteins with supra tein s-tech springs into my car will work without any further modifications?

Thanx in advance

Thank you very much.
Any chance you could post a side picture of your car to see the stance?
Much appreciated

about the best setup without full blown coilovers imo. Nothing touches the bilstiens for comfort and performance
