Default supra springs and shocks

can anyone send me a link on where i can find supra springs and shocks to lower my sc? I want the best drop for my SC without buying coilovers. OEM supra shocks with aftermarket supra springs im guessing would be my best option?

What do you mean by "best drop"? Height? Ride quality?

So does that mean, you want to be LOW, or you just want something that is subtle?

best height? so you dont want to lower the car...? Or do you mean best drop? Ride quality? How much do you want to lower the car? how do you want it to handle? how much do you want to spend? Those are what you need to ask yourself first..and #1, what are your plans for the car overall??

how hard is it to understand what im trying to say? i want to LOWER my car as much as possible but without coils. soo im guessing the best way to do that instead of getting tanabes from ebay is getting OEM supra shocks and aftermarket supra lowering springs. did anyone else do this and if soo whats your setup?

It's hard to understand what you are saying because you are not being very clear.

When people are looking to get OE MKIV shocks and springs, they just want a subtle drop, NOT be as low as possible without "coils".

Falken springs will slam your car. I just put them on my SC and it's the lowest drop I've seen without coilovers.

If you are trying to lower your car as much as possible, then get Espelir springs made for SC. Or do you want to have Supra suspension on your car so you can tell everybody you have "Supra suspension" on your car?

Cool 89 supra turbo shocks/springs fit SC400??

I have a set of new teins adj shocks and springs that would lower the 89supra turbo.. Havent seen them in a year or so ,, they are buried in the back of the garage, BUT if i remember correct they will not be a direct fit for a 1992 SC400,

the springs looked twice the thickness as stock spring found on the 1992 SC400..

keep in mind they were purchased for the 89supra turbo. but can I make them fit properly with a plasma cutter and a welder...lol

Just throwing it out there
