Again, weve sold these things for yrs now...
KYB has GasAdjust & their silver GR2 series which suck)...
The white painted GasAdjust are very stiff and are hi pressure charged...and one good if ready for more then avg stiff ride....and not suggested with any any lowered spring. You may try to go with Tokico std struts (adjustable not needed) if you plan on spending about $300 set..I like KONI too for about $650 set...but they dont have a listing for the SC300-400, but they DO have a listing for the Supra, which I think will fit.....As for springs, whats more important ...a 1" or closer to 1.8" drop ? for 1" go with Eibach, If you want a more agressive drop, I suggest skipping the Intrax (they ride like ***) and go with the Japanese made Espilar 1.8"springs. We sell this brand Instead of the Intrax due to the problems we've had with them in the past on these cars. The Espilars are built much more superiour
and cost isnt so bad either.

We are in Tucson Az....
The Espilars ride surprisingly good for the amt of drop, better then my TEIN suspension...expect more of a performance ride then the std Lexus-Toyota ride...but if thats your goal, youll like it.
The Tokicos run about $85 ea I think...
We only have 1 set of the Espilars left on the shelf, takes about 6-8 weeks for us to get more if needed.

How much are the Espilar springs vs. the Eibach's. Also, I am currently running 19x10 rear and 19x8.5 front RD Sport wheels and plan on getting the Auto Couture body kit soon. Will I be OK with the 1.8" Espilar drop or should I play it safe and get the Eibach's?


Thanks,

play it safe and go with the eibachs only because it has a better reputation ,,espilar isn't popular in the states maybe in japan but i would go with eibachs unless you can afford the tien or hks set-up

My car has 18x10s in the rear with 295-30-18 tires and is dropped over 2"...its fine! Maybe If I loaded up my car with people it rub, but with one passenger, its not a problem and looks great IMO. On the front I have 18x9s w/ 265-30-18s...and rubs a little ONLY under hard corners, but thats rare. Dont be afraid to try new things, If Espliar wasnt good, I would never even offer them after I sold the first few sets.....but thats not been the case. In my business Im always looking for improving our options and this ones been worth while.
If you want a drop thats barely noticeable and spend about $340 for the parts w/o labor....sure go Eibach. IF you want to see a more agressive look and live on the edge a little more, I suggest the $390 set of Espliars. We sell both ...doesnt matter to me. My TEIN HA susp btw rides like *** and only put up with it because I like the 2-2.5 drop option....the adjustability is nice, but also looking for a smoother riding fully adjustable option like Cusco, SARD, TOMs, Elite or many others available in Japan...!!
