I've got 19s and am a paycheck and a half away from getting bilstein supra shocks and springs...will this be a bad combo due to the size of wheels I'm running?

Default Supra on an SC400

I have the Bilsteins on my SC400 and I also have a set of sacked Supra stock springs. I look to be at least 2 inches lower than the .5 inch lowered SC with the stock Supra suspension. Rides a tad stiff around town and anywhere else for that matter.


I have a set of new Tien H sport springs for it. Rep said the ride height would be 1 inch lower than a stock Supra and the stock springs are supposed to lower the SC .5 inches. I think I am looking at being lowered 1.5 inches.....is that correct? I gotta be sitting higher than I am now. What do you think about this combo?

I also have a question about the rubber bumper. I have read where that bumper needs 1 or 2 rings removed after installing the Tiens. Sound right to you guys? That would seem to be removing at least a couple inches from that snubber.

Thanks for the help and guidance.....I need it

John
