And is this a good price ??
I need new struts but would also lke to do all 4 plus springs at the same time. I don't need them to be adjustable though just good quality.
I searched around but couldn't find a good place to get the Tokico shocks.
I wanted to go Tokico and Eibach
But can't see where to get em at a good price.
Anyway what about that kit.
If we do Supra TT shocks and springs what year supra's ?Tokico Kit

Search, all these questions have been asked and answered many times. Trust me, I'm in the same boat as you and have found many answers by searching.
The odd thing is, I don't know many people with Supras who have the Tokico Illumina shocks on their cars. I know the factory shocks are made by Tokico, and from what I've heard, the 97-98 are different from the 93.5-96. Seems like any year is compatible with any other year. When using it on the SC, if you use TT shocks, you have to use TT springs as well. By the way, I'm not an expert and do not have any personal or professional experience with this, so it's best if you take a look down the list of threads where people have asked this before.
Just my two cents though, it really depends on what you want out of your Lexus. For some reason, coilovers seem to be able to have a nicer ride quality and good handling than a shock/spring combo. Some of the suspension experts might chime in here why that is so. I've ridden in a few setups (on Supras) and was not happy with the Eibach/Tokico (stock) setup. The handling was nice, but not as nice as Tein HA with UPM. The Teins were rock-solid. After riding in that, I was sold on coilovers. You might have a different opinion.. I like the Lexus ride quality, and prefer that over superb handling (ie no bodyroll, response, etc).
But bottom line is, search. CL really has a great deal of information for you.

I have searched as I always do before I askl a question. I know if you get supra TT springs then you need TT shocks too and vice versa. But it doesn't say what year supra gear we need.
I would love coilovers but can't afford them. What I did ask was good places to get these things, which again if you search it is hard to find. Plus I am really wary of buying stuff on ebay so I thought I'd ask some peoples opinions.
