Default New SC400

I'm a little inexperienced with modifying cars within the realm of Lexus cars. I've got an Automatic SC400 and I'm looking to get a nice rolling start to things. I'd like to start with stiffening the suspension a bit, but I'd still like to retain a relatively decent ride hight (the stock height is pretty low and I don't want to scrape), and I don't want to have any issues of compromising comfort. Any suggestions for potential setups?

Do a search for Supra TT suspension swaps, may be what you're after.

Yes, I've heard the TT suspension offers somewhere near close to a 1.5 inch drop compared to stock height. Do you know if they will allow for the opportunity for me to do aggressive driving? I'm not currently putting it on the track or anything (I might though if I get a motor and trannie swap) but I intend to put a good deal of wrath on the streets. I'm looking for the perfect balance of comfort, as well as function. I suppose the last detail on my heirarchy is ride height. I don't mind how it sits, as long as I can still get a good clean ride out of it. And I suppose cost is cool too.
