Want new suspension but with no negatives.
Ok I have been focused on my turbo project but it won't be done for a little while. So I started looking at suspension because I am getting bored. I want to lower my car and improve the handling. I want the lowest drop possible with no camber, rubbing, or alignment issues. I don't want to spend to much on this, I want new springs and shocks. Is the supra tt suspension the best thing to do? What do you guys recommend. BTW I have the stock 16in wheels. Then possibly new sway bars, how hard are those to install? I can handle the spring/shock install with some friends

I was thinking of doing the TT suspension swap for my car. Cheap if I can find the parts plus gives you a good enough drop to noitce a nice difference and still a good ride.

from past experience.. coilovers are the only way to go...
shocks and springs just dont cut it if you want to drive 'hard'
i've gone the KYB AGX route with tein s tech springs on my old S14, drove a similar ride with coilovers and the difference was extreme...
sure the ride wont be as 'soft'... but if you really WANT to notice a handling difference, go with coilies.
other than that, save your money for other things, like bigger turbos
good luck

espelirs arent low enuff
i'm not sure how much lower the teins can go than the espelir springs but dammit i can't go over speed bumps without scraping, and im still not low enuff 
i just love a slammed car but if you dont want slammed or rubbing i guess go with the adjustable teins or tanabe setup.
Soarer_25GTT Espelirs ride nicely for a daily, but are too low for a daily (imo).
they do ride nice but u can never be toooo low
