its a must if you go with Supra springs...and dont let any FOOLS here tell you that Supra springs fit the SC shocks.

If you want Supra springs you need the Supra shocks, and SC springs you need SC shocks, no mixie-matchie..Im currently running TT Supra KYB AGX Shocks with TT Supra Eibach Pro kit springs and I absolutely love them..found them on SF.com for $250 shipped all brand new in the original boxes and packaging.

Do some searching and you'll find a good deal.

Turbodremz is correct supra with supra , sc with sc, no mixing and matching, and why, with 100k on your suspension imo replace and upgrade!

I absolutely love them as well, I also was running Daizen sway bars.
with 18's, and all bushings replaced with polyurethane.

On a side note, whenever I threw girls in the back they always complained about the rough ride(I didn't care of course) but I always heard about it from the back. The girls in front didn't seem to mind although the front chair has much more padding. Maybe the ones in back were just pissed they were in back

At any rate with the supra setup the car handles a lot better, but rides a bit more rough(I liked getting more feedback from the car, and feeling the road) Keep that in mind, a lot of people on the forums seem to want a nice smooth soft ride, where they feel nothing... and blah blah it's a Lexus(even though it's just a toyota imo) blah blah. So just be aware
