FYI, other spring rates
Supra TT.............430 front 219 rear
SC300 Eibachs.................514 front 230 rear
Supra TT Eibachs .............514 front 263 rear
...........Eibachs are progressive, the above numbers are the maximum rates

I just used my engineering conversion program and converted Ounce Force to Kilogram Force...
So the Supra TT would be 12kg front and 6kg rear..
SC300 Eibachs 14.5kg F and 6.5kg R
Supra TT Eibachs 14.5kg F and 7.5kg R

I disagree. My car with Eibach, Tokico and Supra sway bars handles great. On the road and on the track (road course).
As was explained to me by an engineer at Eibach ... our car is so heavy that the springs are almost always at the stiffer rates.
BTW, I am going to Tien Flex coilovers to get higher spring rates for the track

i had a 95 firebird with eibach, god it drove so horrible. I had so much more confidance with it on OEM springs. I swore to myself to never go eibach again.
The intrax are linear, and they are stiff as heck. Sometimes on the highway it can be annoying, but i love how the car handles and now solid it feels.

Do stock springs interchangeable for SC300 and SC400? How about Eibach springs? I have a 94 SC300, but mistakenly ordered Eibach springs for SC400. Should I send them back to exchange for SC300 springs? I notice the total weight for Eibach SC400 springs is 10lb heavier than that for Eibach SC300 springs. Anyone can guess how the SC300 would feel like if I just go ahead an install the SC400 springs on my SC300?
I would greatly appreciate your help.
Kevin,
