New shocks always help handling, braking, and ride quality. A very necessary repair. They will not however change your ride height.

You can get that done at the ride height changement shop. Right next to the making your car go faster shop.

You would only be able to fit the AGX's on the front. You would need supra springs to put them on the rear.

the same place you found the shocks. That link is misleading by the way. even though it says its for the sc300/sc400 its actually the part number for a supra tt. So just look in the suspension section for supra tt. Might as get springs when you get the shocks. You could research over at supraforums to see what springs they recomend.

they are good struts but honestly having been there done that... ill keep buying full coilovers as long as i live ... by the time your done buying springs and agxs your spending what you can get a set of used coilovers for .... i had bout agxs new for my 240 with some springs i sold em to buy a used set of tein HR coilovers and it was the best move i ever made.... just my 2 cents save for coilovers... you wont regret it

but out of em all i would suggest a koni yellow setup if ur choosing strut spring combo... ( if they even make em for a supra) pops has them on his STI and they are very nice... adjustable damper too.... but the agxs are second

whats a good deal on used c/o's? $ wise, which models are good for city/urban driving, I'm in LA, alot of bad roads, and pot holes.

I have eibach and tokiko blues, not loving the ride, little rough, will c/o's be worse?
