I hate to be the one to tell you this but searchy searchy...this has been discussed a billion times over.
...and if you're gonna spend $490 then just spend an extra $100 and get Tein basic coilovers.

two words: LOVE 'EM... do it right, or be prepared to be droppin' $$$ for tires every other month,.. the 1.25" drop is for supra's... it's about 2.25" on a SC3/400.

im running the tokico illumina shock/spring setup and i'm satisfied with it
i've got a nice drop and handling has improved dramatically with negative camber but if you don't like the uneven tire wear, we can always go with a camber kit.

why would you need to spend money on tires every month?? do the tires rub the inside of the fender???or is the camber just off ???thinking of getting thesse thats y

My experience with them was with my old civic, asoon as i put the rears in I stopped because the back end of the car was stuck in the air. Springs are real stiff and wont settle for a while. Otrher than that They were fine. But spen the extra and get teins.

I have the Tokico Illumina on my car for the last 18 months. Alignment was not a problem.
I have mine set on the highest setting front and rear. You will feel every bump in the road with this setting.
I paid more for my set, but the extra cost was worth it to me since I got a lot of good advice from this Club Lexus sponsor.
