Hey Ryan, the N/A setup just bolts on exactly like the TT. In fact, the shocks are the exact same 4 way adjustable for either model. Same part #’s even. One other myth is Eibach does not really make springs especially for the TT model. They only offer the Turbo and N/A. The turbo is what Eibach recommends for the TT though. The turbo is 1.0-1.2” drop and the N/A is 1.0-1.5.” I’m sure the spring rates are deferent but Eibach won’t release that info. I think Clint started, or was one of the first, to use the Turbo “TT” springs and everyone else followed. I got my springs off ebay and the shocks at coximport.com. I was very close to purchasing the Tein HA’s but this setup has everything I wanted for half the price.

Could you get details and post them.

I think it was the canover brand pistons, dual compressors and dual air tanks. By the time you install 4 pistons, 8 valves, and the compressor/tank setup, it is pricey.

How much is the KYB AGX + Eibach Supra NA combo going for retail? Just to confirm this with you EvoTuned, you said this setup fits the SCx00 perfectly?? Thanks.

Aside from eBay, this is probably the best price your going to find on KYB / Eibach. http://www.coximport.com/hotsheetd.html Yes the N/A bolts right on the same as the Turbo. The only difference is the springs and I choose the N/A because of the extra drop. While it ‘looks’ amazing it may actually hurt a little on the performance side as apposed to the Turbo Springs. I purchased front and rear TT stabilizer bars to help this and I’m looking for polyurethane bushings. For any setup you have to decide what you want from the suspension and how you going to be using it. Coilovers are incredible for the track but most suck as daily drivers. They just weren’t made for street conditions.

Default Hey EVO>>

when you installed the new suspension did you have to use the top caps of of your stock suspension(the part that bolts up to the shock towers) or does the kyb package come with new ones?
thanks yet again ..hehe

The KYB’s come with a bolt for at the tops but that’s it. Every other component is what you already have. The only modification you’ll need to do is to trim the shock dust covers at the tops. I don’t see the need to replace anything on the car unless it has very high mileage or has had suspension problems in the past.

If Din’s still reading this, what’s the SC Eibach/Tockico setup’s ride quality like?

No modifications neccessary, the springs fit like a glove, many people here already have Supra springs in their SCs.
