No, n/a shocks will not work.

Any Supra TT springs require equivalent TT shocks.

All this is covered quite well in http://www.intellexual.net/faq.html#028 suspension area

Eibach ProKit for the Supra TT and shocks (either stock or aftermarket) for the Supra TT will work. Will drop your car about 1.5 to 1.75". You just can't use TT shocks with SC springs, or vice versa.

If I read this right, then Supra TT and Supra NA struts are the same heights, just different valving..

"OEM Supra shocks made for the Supra NA are slightly stiffer than OEM shocks made for the Supra TT. Note that the rear perch heights on both Supra NA and TT shocks are higher than the OEM Lexus SC shocks'. You are required to buy OEM or aftermarket springs designed for the JZA80/MKIV Supra when using these. OEM Lexus SC shocks, made by KYB, also function well with moderately lowered (1-1.5-inch) springs."
