Default If you are planning on adding Eibach springs...

Pro Kit you may want to go ahead and purchase them... I recently bought a 94 sc400 and with any old car Ive started fixing it up (4,000 and counting) and wanted to lower it an inch w/ the Eibach Pro Kit springs but was having trouble finding anyone who had them in stock...

Today I finally called Eibach and they said they had discontinued making them due to demand.. I mentioned to Eibach rep that I saw on ebay a guy who was selling them for 305 w/ shipping... The Eibach rep said that may be where I have to end up buying it but he pointed out that if they were not an authorized dealer then the 1 million mile warranty would be voided...

So after looking at the ebay guys feedback and weighing the no warranty I started searchin gthe internet and then calling around... These are all the places I called all the shops here in Athens GA, plus Nopi, Directtire, Howbarmotorsports, Perfomance center, Shox.com, AJUSA and finally the guys at drivewire.com had 5 of them in stock (now four ) The price was 311.69 & 14.95 shipping so it only cost me about $20 for the warranty and not having to worry about some guy in hong kong shipping them out...

Now I just have to get my buddy to put them on for me along w/ the new shocks... Oh and the other big thing Ive learned is dont screw up your carpet... Lexus wants 759 for new molded carpet... Thankfully I found some on ebay for 125.

Yeah, but those are for a GS, not an SC.

i believe you can get the tokico illumina set for around 500 shipped. that's both shocks and springs (5 way adjustable damping settings too). drops ur car around 2" and has a lifetime warranty. i defintely would not pay 315 plus shipping for the eibach pro kit. you'd have to get supra shocks too i think.

Not sure if this thread is in reference to the eibach pro kit for the Supra or SC....

I have a set of eibach supra springs They seem to run around 150 used on Supraforums
and readily available.... Didn't know they were discontinued...
I also picked up a set of shocks springs from there...

Actually there are at least a couple SC sets in the classified too, so you were right. Also 315 for the set is alittle high, but he wanted the warranty and theyre new. I paid less than 400 for supra HKS springs and KYB agx shocksfor my SC,and very happy with it, but i did alot of research and was patient. Im sorta cheap and dont mind having to hunt for good deals myself , and you can get used parts for great deals if you take the time. But you take the good with the bad. Theres alot of junk people try and pass off as quality and still new parts.
