SC enthusiasts......What springs do you have on your car....and how do they feel?
Attention all SC enthusiasts.......i'm getting 18's with 40 profile tires. I don't want the lifted look on my SC either so what recommendations to some of you have in regards to having a lowered look. Will the Pro Kit Eibach or heating the springs do any justice? Appreciate any response from you guys......SonicSC

How much does the springs/struts for supra TT? Where is the cheapest place to get them from web? If anyone has toyota P/N that would be great.
What about the a-arms, should i get the ones for the supra TT? What type of bushings should i get?(i'm dont want the rough/stiff ride from the other bushings mentioned here)??
Will these fit on my sc400 1992? Should i get'em from the toyota dealer?
I'm looking for a smooth ride while being able to eat corners on frwys and streets.
thx

ive had two sets of springs/shocks on the car...
(1) eibach/tokico - stiffer than stock, not the lowest drop in the world, but lower than stock
(2) tein ha full coilovers - badass suspension, im currently selling them just because theyre a bit overkill for my needs, 16-way adjustable damper + height control.

Thanks for the info...are you selling your coilovers?
If you are selling your coilovers....send me a pic and a price if possible.....I have a shop and lots of "grave shift" time to mess with that kind of suspension....SonicSC

they're $1200 or so for a brand new set, they're in good condition and have about 4000 miles on them. one thing to note, when i received them, they were for a GS300, while the SC300 and the GS300 have the same suspension, the spring rates are a bit different... so all you would need are a pair of rear springs from TEIN (~$200) and you're good to go. for the whole time ive had them, the rear height was set to the bottom, the drop looks like this:
the front, when lowered all the way down is LOW!!! the ride quality is 2nd to none with the 16-way adjustable damper. anyway im not sure what to ask for the coilovers... i was asking the GS300 guys $700 + shipping. email me at bng@alltel.net if you have anymore questions!
