Default 93 SC300 w/ Supra Shocks and Supra Sprint Springs

I thought a couple people might like to check out this combo. The drop is a little low in the front, since my tires rub sometimes, It also could be the size of tires heh. Anyways on to the pics!

You need to run supra struts to get this stance. I'm sure they would fit on the OEM Struts, the springs would be around .5 hire? someone else will have to chime in on that.

119 + shipping...how's the ride quality? So your using just stock supra oem shocks? did you use your original strut mounts and boots? if so are you getting any sqeaks? Thanks

No, Supra springs will not work with SC shocks OE or aftermarket. For Supra springs, you must use the Supra shocks.

Close, but corrected above. The OEM Supra TT suspension is .5'' lower than OE SC suspension, once settled, its actually closer to .75''.

Which brings my question, are you on OEM Supra suspension? Cause that looks lower than it should.

So if we get spring specifically for the SC, the only options are Tanabe or Eibach correct?

Are those stock SC setup?
My friend is giving his set of TT strut and spring for cheap, and I have the same 19" G35 wheels. Juts wondering what my SC will look like.

^, what do you mean? Are you asking if the OP is using OEM struts with lowering springs? No, OP used Supra struts with Sprint lowering springs to get the drop.

If your SC is currently on stock suspension, you will net roughly .5 - .75" of a drop using OEM Supra strut and spring combo, as Turbodremz had stated. Consider getting a set of Supra lowering springs prior to installing them on your car to cut back on labor.
