Default Which supra spring drops 1 inch on sc?

i currently have tokico illuminas and eibach springs and i was told it has a 2 inch drop. i thought it would drop it only 1 inch on the sc but i guess i was wrong. which supra tt spring with tokico illuminas would ONLY drop it 1 inch. my offsets are bad so 1 inch is the max i can go..

Damn, thay sucks that you cant use the Supra Eibachs, thats what I have and I love em, but it is true, they drop alot. I honestly cant think of Supra springs that drop it so little, cause they would have to drop the Supra like .2 inches.

on espelirs website it says for the supra tt it drops very little. like 10 mm? i wonder if that would work on my car. i dont' think anyone got the supra espelir springs on their sc yet. maybe i should give that a try... maybe i should sell my setup and just get the sc suspension. anyone interested? i have tokico illuminas with eibach pros and a daizen camber kit. i'll sell everything for 750 + shipping. Just a thought for now. I really want the illuminas in my car though... BTW everything is new in box.

I paid 450+ shipping on the illuminias

230 for eibachs

and 290 for the Daizen camber kit

Anyways... Anyone else can think of a supra tt spring that will drop only 1 inch on the sc?

The Eibach Supra springs drop 1.2 f/ 1.1 r - TT, 1.1 f/1.0 r NA

The thing is, adding some aftermarket shocks that are lower than the OEM Supra shocks, that is what you will probably get (more than 1.x" drop)

your best bet would be OEM tt supra springs.. it'll drop your ride at about .8" nothing else for a supra set up will give your car a good 1" drop... hope that helps

tein basics are height adjustable, and they probably cost as much as brand new set of TT's and eibachs. just a suggestion..

I used tein H-tech TT supra springs for my SC. Drop was about an inch all the way around.

specs if i remember right, the dropped the supra about .4"front/.5"rear. That would equate to about an inch drop on the SC.

got em from mvpmotorsports.com
