Coilover help
Im looking for a drift spec coilover for either an SC300 or a SC400, could anyone tell me a good coilover kit for drifting because all the ones i see arent drift specific?

if you have the money kei office coilovers are some of the best coilovers you can get for drifting. Also silk road coilovers, HKS has a drift spec coilover but you have to call and special order it. they're all around 2k.

As far as I know, Tein Super Drift is not available for the mk4 supra's. What is available I believe: Silk Road, Zeal Endless, and the more aggresive JIC Magic, Kei Office. I am currently running Tein Flex for drifting and it is not stiff enough, you can always get bigger sway bars that would help with body roll.

I talked to a rep from TEIN and here is what he said: If you are going to try drifting, you may want to
try the Flex coilovers, which would be a closer comparison to the Super
Drift. It would make a great entry-level coilover for drifting. But in the
future, if you would like a different setup, we can revalve the Flex
coilovers for a drift setup, and also provide you with different spring
rates if you prefer.
With the Type Flex coilovers, you will be able to set up spring preload
separate from the height adjustment. This is a feature that the SuperStreet
coilovers do not have, and you may even find it critical when you are
setting up you vehicle for drifting.....Thats why i too am buying the Tein Type FLex....I hope this helps others

iirc silk road coilovers dont have that stiff of a spring rate, unless you upgrade them. i believe they come 16/14 or something of that nature. if you cant get your hand on kei offices go with zeal and upgrade the spring rates to 20/18 or somwhere of that nature. the rsr i-shock sports would also be a good coilover combo for the sc. but when you buy coilovers most brands have them listed under the jza80 model number. also it owuld be wise, unless you have alot of money, to get something with good u.s. support that way if you need to rebuild or feel the spring rates arent working for you, you can deal locally to get your desired parts instead of overseas. also when you upgrade more than +/- 4 kg then the shock should be revavled.
