i paid $150 for a set of 5k mile supra TT struts, and $150 for new Tein S-Tech 1.1" drop springs... $300 and you've got money left over...
see sig for how it turned out, and you can tint the windows as well...
find a hookup or friend of a friend, and you can get the windows tinted good, cheap... I paid $40 for tint materials, and hooked him up with a good deal on some tires, in exchange for labor...

no offense just stating my opinion again but if u look at most esp cars with a vertex kit! esp sc's look you will notice that they are al dropped if there not welll they look kinda goofy, dropping a car does alot for its stance, it really does help change the way a car looks! jus sayin what i think , it is nice however not to have to go 2mph over speed bumps and having to take aggresive angles pulling out of places!

about the struts, are the 86-92 supra struts the right ones to use? and also would you have to have to find special springs that fit these struts? im new to this and dont know much about lowering.... -___-

if i am correct i belive its the newer model supra like 92-98 not 100% sure on that though and u dont need special springs just springs for that model supra , with teh supra struts from what i hear it will drop your car roughtly half a inch unless u get lowering springs for the supra then it will drop it whatever the lowering springs drop is + half an inch---
coilovers are usually better as they come as a complete package and have ride height adjusment along with various settings for the strut(most of them) they strut is matched with the spring and depeneding on the coilover u get coem with the upper pillow ball mounts! but springs are much cheaper average spring and strut combo can cost more liek 450$+ where as good coilovers new will be more like 1000+$ with some topping 2gs
