Default Supra Eibach Question, need quick response.

Well my 18x8 18x10 blitz Z1s came in and I have got to get the car lowered quick so it doesn't look like crap. I have a set of supra shocks and a set of eibachs for a supra. Will both of these work on my SC300? (I've head the springs don't fit on the rear of the SC, but will they fit using supra struts?). Now I know I'm a dip**** for using stock struts but keep in mind this is only to last me a few months until my new Teins arrive. What can I expect the car to be lowered with the supra eibachs?

Doesn't the SC weigh a lot more than the Supra? That will compress your Supra springs beyond it's design capabilities and put much more strain on your shocks. I wouldn't do it.

IIRC it's 1.5" drop.

Go for it... if it doesn't work then just put the stockers back on.

I have Supra KYB AGX and Supra Eibach on my 97. You have to use a Supra Shock on the rear if you want to use Supra Springs. The drop is lower than the Lexus Eibach drop (not enough for my taste). I love this setup...the car handles great with it.
