Question that's it.. i'm keeping my SC400. AND... i'm UPGRADING MY SUSPENSION! WHOO HOO!

decided to keep my SC400... was going to get another car...

was thinking about a GS300/400... nah.. too many on the road in northern california....
was going to get an Audi A4 (B5)... nah... TOO SLOW.....
was going to get a LS400... nah... TOO BIG...
all other makes are not as reliable or not to my taste...

so now im going to beef the hell up my SC400....

i am the 3rd owner... so here are the questions...

was going to upgrade my suspension and decided on just doing the tokicos for now... my car is really low for some reason... when i pull up next to other sc's my car is about 1-2 inches lower...

are my springs stock?



there is a picture of them.. i couldn't tell... counted six coils...

then looked at the struts...



they say KYB on them.. they look stock... part number 48510-24150... i am hoping they are not supra shocks or springs... cuz i was planning on just gettng regular tokico hps for the SC400...

so... are my springs and shocks stock? i dont want any problems while buying equipment...

also... does anyone know where to buy generic dust cover boots for the shocks (for the rear and front)? mine are all ripped and stuff...

any help appreciated!

Looks stock to me. It's not the Supra TT shocks.

Look stock to me too, maybe they're just worn out and that's why your car is a little lower. New shocks can increase your ride hieight a little. New springs can too.
