Default Supra Suspension

Hey CL,
Just purchased a set of lowering springs for a MKIV Supra and I'm trying to determine what shocks I should get. I was wondering whats gonna give me a good ride while still being able to drive hard on, not rag on it, just drive it like a sports car.

Supra TT KYB AGX. I have those on my car with Eibach TT lowering springs. sits SO nice over my 18s, and rides just like a Lexus should. Not bumpy, or jaw shattering. I even have mine on the stiffest setting

I have heard lots of great things about the Bilstein shocks from you guys as well as guys at drift events and car meets. Looks like that's what I will be going with. If anybody knows the best place to get them, i.e. where to get the best price, please speak up. I will update you guys with a review/opinion once i get the set-up done and run it around a little bit. And at SEXC, definitely going to get some TRD swaybars, I have heard they make a world of difference.

I looked into adjustables but went with just heavy duty bilsteins. I'm actually about to sell the car, start another sc project.
