Lower without other types of springs/suspension?

Blow your shocks, put alot of weight in the car, cut your springs...none of rich I recommend.

pretty much the only thing you're going to have to do is get different springs or invest in a set of coilovers.

Without buying new springs is impossible, unless you want to cut them but thats just dangerous. I agree with Black_SC, Espelir springs go the lowest. That or you could go air.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To reuse your current shocks, you should use Espelir Springs. They take the SC about as low as it can go on a shock/spring combo.

There are many options that go low in the Supra shock/spring market, mostly due to the fact that Supra springs drop the SC ~0.5-0.7" even at stock ride height. So, if a Supra spring advertises a 1.4" drop, expect to get 2" from the spring.

I have RSR springs on Tokico Illumina shocks (both for the Supra), and the drop is absolutely perfect for my liking. The Swift springs I had before (in sig picture) left more wheel gap than I wanted up front. These RSR springs have given me a drop identical to my goals, something I could have spent five times more money on going with coilovers (I got the springs used on the classifieds for $115 and the shocks second hand, but new in box, from Supraforums classifieds for $260).
