The issue of pillow mounts with adjustable camber only applies to cars with a MacPherson strut suspension. Our cars use upper and lower A-arms, so adjusting the angle of the shock via the pillow mount would have no effect on camber.
, i thought camber rate would be affected

How about the OEM Supra TT Springs, Shocks and Sway Bar?
Was not part of the poll, but how about the OEM MKIV Supra TT Springs, Shocks and Sway Bar combination? It is a considerable handling upgrade from stock SC300, lowers the car and settles down the handling. You can get the parts for under $200, though you will absolutely have to purchase TT sub-frame mounts for the rear sway bars for another $65 each.

I found mine from some guy on Supraforums who thought his car would be cooler with some Eibach springs 
, they cost me $150 shipped, and the entire rear bar setup was $60 at a local wrecking yard.
Best mod per dollar yet IMO.

I dont know about you but i would rather spend 100 more and know the seller is ok,than get ripped off.
Plus Supra owners are WAAAAY harder on their rides in general.

JIC IS THE BEST I agree with AZlex...i've had the flex and the hipermaxx (on supra) The JIC has a harder spring rate but strangley enough gives the best ride.....also, check most of the formula D drivers.....many have converted to JIC!!!

They're the TR-1 dampers, actually for the Supra.
