i was told that the eibach pro kit was good, i don't know much about springs. How are espelir springs compared to the eibachs? I need to buy springs soon so i'm very interested. Do you know much of a drop these springs give and will they rub with 19's? I dunno where to look..
i asked a couple of supra owners and they never heard of espelir's. Are they a new company?
also do they come for the supra tt shocks/struts?

I've never had Eibachs on my sc, so I can't really compare Espelir and Eibach. Espelir has been around for a number of years in Japan, and just recently, Mackin Industries, distributor of Volk Racing became the importer for Espelir parts in the US. Eibach and Espelir are both good companies and you won't lose either way.
The Espelir springs gave me a 1.5" drop for the SC300 application. I think a Supra application is available also. The issue with rubbing depends on the offset of your wheels. If you're going to rub with Espelir springs, you will rub with Eibach springs or any other springs. Do a search and see what widths and offsets caused rubbing issues for people. I've got 18x9 +37 in the rear with 265/35-18 and I started rubbing after lowering. I had my fenders shaved and the problem went away.
Here's the website for some Espelir and application info:

actually, I just found out that someone on the boards just got a set of Espelir springs. I believe he has experience with Eibachs on the SC's as well, so maybe he can give you a better opinion.
