Default anyone try the espelir active gt spring?

i'm thinking this spring doesn't lower as much as the active super downs. i'll be getting this for the supra tt but putting it on my sc. anyone have any idea how much it will drop on the sc with tokico illuminas? it says it drops 10 mm in the front and 15 mm in the rear on the supra tt.. the application guide doesn't sound correct though. the spring rate is 9.6-4.6. what does that mean? thanks

the measurements listed on the website are the measurements from the center of the wheel to the fender. In other words, it's a measurement of the gap left over after the drop. so it looks like the gt springs will drop the car a lot.

maybe nysupraman or sc400texas can chime in with their measurements with stock wheels to confirm these measurements.

i'll double check that measurement when i get my car back from the body shop, but here's the picture that Mackin Industries took.

damn, i thought the gt dropped it less than the super down springs. correct me if i'm wrong but i thought you had sc springs installed not supra tt springs.

I have the super active down springs for the sc300/400. If you don't want to be lowered that much, maybe you should look into getting an eibach/tokico setup.
