I'm gonna rock the Top Secret coilovers on my SC. I'm not trying to plug my work or anything but we use custom valved Aragosta coilovers and Swift springs with custom spring rates as a package for each car. I wouldn't put them on my own car if I didn't believe in them.



oh yeah...they're much much lighter than the stock setup...

uhh maybe those top secret coilovers aren't the best choice. they're listed at $3,931.00 for the supra!

http://www.topsecretjpn.com/coilovers.shtml

for that price i'd much rather go with tein and the rest of my suspension setup as well with money to spare!

there are soarer specific ones as well....same price....but yeah, it's expensive...

...then again, you have to think about what you're getting. Aragosta are extremely high quality dampers and Swift are the absolute best springs available. Each of these kits are custom made to your specific car....you can specify dampening and spring rates when ordereing or give an idea of what you're doing with the car and we'll give you the best setup for you.

Suspension is one aspect of a car that I wouldn't skimp on. Tein are waaaay too soft unless you're building a show car...in which case they're probably ideal. Good suspension isn't cheap but you will notice the improvement when driving....and isn't that the goal here?

lol, if i had that kind of money just laying around i'de already have them on my car. I save up for parts just like anyone else and buy parts little by little as I can afford them. My whole point is that putting more money into suspension than your engine or your body parts is money well spent.

we have 3 basic setups, circuit, drag, and street. The specs vary between each setup and each vehicle but I can assure you, they are custom tailored to your specific car and purpose for the vehicle.

If you have TEIN or other brand coilovers already, you can get Swift springs seperately for them. They're not cheap but like I said, they're the absolute best available. They just set up office in the US actually. Check them out here: http://www.swiftsprings.com/

The guy to speak to is Yasu, tell him roo from Top Secret sent you.

I'm running the D2's. Def great for the money. A little too much bounce for my taste, but i have yet to get it up on the lift and mess w/ the settings/lengths.
