There is no Koni yellow application for the SC in the US so they have to be the Supra versions.

Not sure if this is applicable, but I used to run Supra spec Swift springs and Bilstein HD shocks. The handling was great and would have been better if my front lca bushings weren't shot.

I believe user Sly Guy Yu is currently running the Swift/Koni combo.

Im running Eibach (supra) springs with koni yellows (supra). The shock setting is in the middle, the spring perch sits on the lowest settings. I have 18 inch vr4 wheels and my front rubs sometimes when i turn.

oh icic.... i just set my rear on the lowest one, but on the front, i had to go on the higher one since i was rubbing like a mad man, but the drop seems very even actually.
How do you adjust the dampening on these shocks? does it really need to be off the car?

Unfortunately the shocks has to be off to adjust them, I don't know why they didn't add the adjustment **** feature on the supra ones because they did it for almost every other application. Theres a button you push in by the piston shaft. Push the button down and turn the piston shaft you'll feel the clicks, if you turn it all the way counter clockwise until it doesn't stop clicking thats the softest setting. Turn it clockwise makes it stiffer. Theres only four settings so theres only 3 clicks to go if you want it super stiff.
Mines in the middle, it's pretty comfy and at the same time not much body roll as stock. I'm going to have try raising my front, I cant turn fast :/
I was thinking also you might be able to take a spring compressor and compress the spring, push the button and turn the piston. But I would think that might be harder to do than taking it off.
