Prettttttty tight there sir!
That's a good pic,... the only thing is your aero kit makes it hard to tell what the true drop is,.... It doesn't appear that fender gap has been greatly reduced,...but maybe cuz I don't have a stock pic to compare it with. I passed up a set of eibach 1" springs cuz everybody lobbied against them and recommended the 1.3" supra setup,... oh boy,... what to do???
hey,...what kit is that, and where'd you get them clear corners from???

If you lower your car more than 1" the shocks are too long anyways so your car will ride like crap and handle even worse!

Beg to differ again. The advantage to using the Supra springs is being able to use the KYB AGX adjustable gas shocks. IMO, these shocks blow away the tokicos in every area.
I've got the Supra TT Eibachs and AGXs on my SC300. I'm running 225/40/18's on 18x9's up front and 285/30/18's on 18x10's in back. Had to pull the rear fenders out slightly (can do it by hand), but there's no rubbing, all 4 wheels aligned correctly, and she handles and rides like a dream (i.e., a true luxury sports car). I've only got 1,000 miles on the tires, but I'll let everyone know if they wear funny.
Oh, and here's a pic...

wmulli,
I like the AGX setup as well. Just for reference, when you had the Tokicos...were they the Blues for the SC or the Supra models?
Thanks

But I never had the SC4 shocks so I can't say for sure. I always understood it was the springs that set the height, but it may be a different mounting point on the shocks. Here's a pic of my shock and spring...

Hey wmulli,
We have a similar setup. I have the NA Supra Eibachs with the KYB AGX. Our drops look just about the same. My questions is how did you handle the bump stops on the car? Did you cut them and if so how much? Do your tires rub when taking curving freeway exits at over 50MPH and when you hit bumps at high speed?
Another point I must reiterate from another post. Make sure the correct springs go in front or your car will be dumped. Not only will it be dumped but your car will plow into everything on the ground because the springs are too soft in the front. It can be hard to tell with a quick glance because just judging length compared to stocks is not the way to go. To be on the safe side for you guys...
Supra TT springs: 8222.001 front / 8222.002 back
Supra NA springs: 8234.001 front / 8222.002 back
This is especially important for DIY installs or you'll have to do twice the labor.
