Not sure I get the compatible statement as Eibach makes springs no?

Im looking at a pair BNIB that drops 30mm. im waiting to get an email that they're compatible with my KYB G2's.

Thanks for your input.

Edit: crap..I just realized this should be the suspension section..

He may have meant comparable. But I've heard good things about those springs.

Are they Supra springs? Because they will drop an extra 1/2" if they are. I almost bought a pair, but got a better deal on another brand.

I think he meant that as well. Okay so far so good on these springs.

They are supra springs. i had them on my SC400 last year. The drop is good, they ride very comfortable and I would say are a sport OEM feeling. I had no complaints about them at all. i had them on OEM supra Tokicos and they felt fine and did not prematurely wear the tokicos at all. Should be just fine with the G2s

Found out a strange thing....the rear springs didnt work AT ALL with my G2's...completely wacky..it sat on the base correctly, but then towards the top it narrows and its literally impossible to make fit around the rubber guard. Any ideas?

I currently run Vogtland springs with koni yellows. I love them, they are stiff but not too harsh. Comparable to TRD supra springs, a little stiffer. From what they say, they are the lightest springs on the market for the supra.

The springs should only narrow at the bottom to fit the spring perch. Unless I'm reading something wrong.

I guess u prolly already got Ur answer but GR2s don't work cuz KYB doesn't make GR2s for supras. I used gas a just from KYB and they fit like gloves.
