Default Pondering New Suspension

So guys I was looking around for a new suspension set up and was thinking about doing TEIN S tech springs with Tokico HP struts. I heard you can expect another inch of drop putting Supra springs on an SC300. Was wondering if anyone was running this setup or had any experience with it.Any help would be great thanks.

.5'' extra drop with Supra springs/shocks..as for shock/spring combos there are only 3 setups that come to mind that are worth it and are approved by members here:

Gixxer-Drew

Tokico Illum or blues with Espillier (sp?) springs

and my favorite- KYB AGX with Eibach Pro for the Supra


also you need to be very careful and double check the years of application..the shocks you posted are for a MK3 supra..be sure when looking for supra suspension its for application year 93-98.

AND, for those prices, if you save just a tad bit more, you can get coilovers..

oh ok, just making sure..the rear shocks for the mk3 will work, but the fronts will not. there are a couple members here using the mk3 rears.

keep us posted on what you decide

I thought it was the other way around? where the fronts bolted up but the rear was a different design.

And yea you got me thinking if i can find some good coil overs for the 700-800 range i could probably get some after my tax return comes back.
