Default Supra NA Kyb Struts and EIBACH Springs?

i found a really good deal for 93 N/A supra KYB struts(not adjustable) and EIBACH springs. for $400 brand new. would you recomend this setup and would this even bolt on. im fresh to the sc scene, and trying to make my ride clean. stock suspension shot.

the NA and TT suspension is the same. bolt will bolt up.

are you looking to have a stock(or slightly lowered) ride height or anything more aggressive than that?

I thought the TT suspension gave more of a drop than the n/a...could have sworn I read somewhere that they were slightly different

I think you're thinking of the sc vs. supra eibachs. The supra eibachs will give you a significantly larger drop then the ones for the sc.

in that case dont waste your money on the suspension you will install and later remove and sell.

do it once and do it right. get coilovers and call it a day.

Unfortunately due to lack of $$ I'm going to go with OEM for the near future. I've had a koni/eibach combo in the past. Shocks and springs should be matched up for optimum handling and ride quality. Get coilovers. They really are that much better from what i've seen.

Same here.

Any difference in the stiffness between supra eibach and sc eibach or is it just the height difference?
