Question Supra Bilsteins with OEM Supra Springs

Has anyone tried to install current Toyota Supra Bilsteins with OEM Toyota Supra (93-98) Springs?
  • Front Bilstein Shocks - AK1242
  • Rear Bilstiein Shocks - AK1243
I am NOT looking to drop the car, I just have really like the Bilsteins I put onto my two Mazda Miata's and wondering if anyone has done this setup?

People do it all the time to get a subtle drop and retain oem ride quality. The factory supra suspension is just lower than the factory SC suspension.

^^ It's fairly common. The Bilstein AK's are phenomenal shocks. The progressive OEM Supra TT springs are also a base alternative to using the softest linear Hypercoil springs with the Gixxer-Drew setups.

Question Spring Rates?

I have noticed that Toyota lists different part numbers for the Standard Supra Springs vs the Twin-Turbo. Does anyone know the OEM Spring Rates for both of these model?
