SC300 and Supra Front Shocks
Hello all, are the front shocks from a SC300 and a Supra the same? Is it just the springs that are different in the front or is it the shocks also? I would like to put Supra lowering Springs on my SC300 front shocks, will this work? I tried searching and came up with nothing.

no this will not work... if you search it on the forums you will also find many guys letting you know supra shocks match supra springs and sc300 shocks match sc300 springs... your best bet is to buy some stock supra shocks and springs... it isnt a bad drop.... handling is MUCH better than stock sc300... i think i may have got lucky with some eibach's when i bought some stock supra shocks but then again it could be just stock...

supra front springs will fit sc front shocks.
sc front springs will fit supra front shocks.
supra rear springs will only fit supra rear shocks.
sc rear springs will only fit sc rear shocks.
but then again... why would you mix? lower front and high rear? that's weird.
stick with the same components, because your car will not perform as well if you mix and match suspension components.
You dont want to have some nice supra suspensions up front, when sc rears cannot keep up with front.
but it is your car..... do as you please, but i wouldn't recommend it.

im not trying to mix and match, but i have a set of eibach springs for the supra, and i have 2 rear shocks only for the supra, so i wanted to see if i can just use the front 2 sc300 shocks, or if i have to buy the front two shocks from a supra also.

the question is not whether supra shocks with fit on his sc.... the question is will supra springs fit on his front sc shocks and the answer is no.... sc and supra shocks are different. you can get a full set of stock supra shocks for anywhere between $100-200.... you need to go full supra shocks/springs if you decide to put them on because it will help handling MUCH more, trust me
