timely topic for me...
i recently acquired my sc300...
my previous ride was an e36 bmw with bilstein sports, short springs, different sway bars and camber plates ("old school" dinan stage 3 to bimmerheads) and a few other "goodies" massaged in...
i understand that i'm not going to be able to make the sc like the bimmer was (and frankly, don't want to, as i got older, it got tedious on our "well maintained new jersey roads"
) but i WOULD like to tighten it up and lower it a "bit" (not slammed)...
open to suggestions... i'm not looking to build an autocrosser, but i want to make it "better"... i really like this car, but the "WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!" factor isn't very high....

the "stockness" of the shocks is awesome... or, go to the KYB GR-2's or AGX's - both reasonably priced and fit the bill as well...
I'm extremely happy with ride quality and handling of my SC400 on supra shocks with Tein 1.1" lowering springs...

I think my way replace the shocks/ springs set up is CHEAPER and CONVENIENCE and either you want to be stiff or floating ride, here is my thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=286222 on the SUPRA KYB AGXs there is a screw on top of each shock to adjust the levels of the damper so ......... have fun with it. (sorry.. i took with my cellphone, not so clear).
Personally I like handling, real STIFF so I throw in TANABE GF210 springs ( I think EIBACH does custom spring rate) hopefully my ride will be like a race car, I will let you guys know how its feel on the soft adjustment, my KYB mounts are on the way here, so check back with the thread for updates later on.

I just replaced my GR-2's today with Tein SS's and I like them a a lot.
When I did drive with the GR-2's however, I was very pleased with the performance - moreso than my old stock shocks.
