Lowest Spring/shock combo
I'm pretty new here, I took my time to look around and search but my question hasnt been answered.
What is the lowest spring/shock combo for the sc? I have a 92. I've read that the interchangable supra setups are lower than setups for sc's, and i guess the ones for the tt supra are even lower? correct me if i'm wrong.... With this all in my mind, I want the lowest setup possible. Pictures would help if you have examples... with the spring and shock combo. I plan on putting either 18s or 19s, not positive yet because i'm not sure i can get the proper stance out of a spring a shock combo. And i'm a fan of stretching, if you saw my 240, youd know...
I have a 240sx with coilovers and thats not for the rough highways i have around here, so i wanted to go with springs this time for the lexus.

Just compare all the 93-98 Supra springs out there and you'll have your answer. When you find the one with the lowest drop, then add about 0.5-0.75" to that and you will have your total drop if used on an SC. Just make sure you use shocks for a 93-98 Supra as well. I don't think any spring for the SC will lower more than a Supra setup.

Im running supra eibach w/ supra kybs. Without coilovers I dont think you can go much lower unless you want to rub like a ****, I already rub a little on extreme turns. The ride height is pretty good, but not necessarily good for "rough" roads/highways...unless you like the sound of wheels and fenders making out.
BTW thats with 18" is350 rims.

Matador, do you have any pictures?? I love wheels and fenders hitting, ha, well not really but i can make alot of setups work if thats the only problem.
i fit 18x9.5 +20 on my s13 240sx with stock fenders, its lower now... barely any camber or pulling.

Supra drop springs offer an additional ~0.5" of drop on the SC from the advertised drop for the Supra. There are Supra springs out there that drop 2"-2.5". Those springs would SLAM the SC to the point where you could only drive more than 20mph on the highway or at the track.
In reality, most Supra springs in the ~1.5" range and the SC Espelirs do the job right.
