I agree with Mr. Allen, the rear does sit a little bit higher but it doesn't annoy me that much lol.

I have the Supra TT Eibach/Bilstein combo. After I installed the springs, I took it to a shop to get it aligned. You'll need a camber kit from TM Engineering (http://www.tmengineering.net/suspens...zen/index.html)

The front sits a little lower than the rear.

Thanks. I had both the front and rear camber kits installed. You might be able to get away with only installing the front camber kit.

Um, I still don't see why you guys are needing camber kits???

there is a TON of adjustability on the SC's from the factory - enough that I can go from -.5 to -3.0 on the front with the stock adjusters...
same with the rear, except I can get about -3.5

My car is lowered 1.8ish... (see sig pic)

I measured the before/after ride height of my car. The Supra TT Eibachs/Bilstein combo dropped the front of MY car 2.5" and the rear 1.0". The drop can vary slightly from car to car, but I could definetely tell (visually) that my front needed a camber kit because it looked like this: /--\

I first asked the alignment shop to align my car without the camber kit, but they said my alignment was way outta wack. They installed the camber kit and they were finally able to get the car aligned.

If you can get the camber corrected without a camber kit, then great! If not, then you know what to do...

My car looks like that all the way around - I run -2.6 rear, -2.0 front camber... But there is more than enough adjustment in the stock bushings to get you back to spec, or even more aggressive...

on supra shocks and Tein springs...
