A drop is not going to make your wheels flush, you'll need spacers for that. If you're looking for a decent drop go with Supra struts with Supra lowering springs. That combo seems to yield more spring options.

You cannot interchange springs and struts. You'll need both from the same car. Supra spring, Supra strut; SC spring, SC Strut.

apVAPES00: you can use the tein lowering springs for supra but like 3Rotor said you need to use Supra shocks. Supra suspension on our SC's yields a lower drop because of the perches on the supra shocks. The supra struts with supra Eibach pro kits is a good combo.

Btw. I just change over to coilovers and have my OEM Supra TT shocks with Eibach Pro-Kit springs for sale. Just letting you know. They drop to about a one finger-ish gap.

Check out: http://www.intellexual.net/faq.html#029 and go to the suspension section.

These guys nailed it. No mix-n-match on shocks/springs. But be sure to factor in an extra .5'' drop when ordering aftermarket Supra springs. Ex: if you order springs that lower a Supra 2'', it will be closer to a 2.5'' drop on your SC possibly more after settling.

Although if you want to be flush, there is much more to it than springs/shocks/coilovers. Offsets, tire size, camber which brings much more to the table. But just search through some of the threads and get feedback from other members on their experiences on which spring/shock combo is "best", but also keep in mind that coilovers can now be had for a couple hundred more than a good spring/shock combo.

Me personally, I love my KYB AGX shocks and Eibach Pro's for the TT Supra.

alright so did some lookin around found some supra tein struts and springs for bout 480
or some tokiko struts {for sc** and esplir springs for bout 470
the esplir springs give the car almost two inches a drop
the tein springs did bout 1.3
....decisions decisions i like em both but driftin towards the esplirs since the inch drop is greaterr... BUT id like some opinions or more info i know u guys got em...

Just search on here and on Supraforums and you can easily find something used for pretty cheap. I got my setup with eibach springs and tokico illuminas for 250, and I just saw a set up shocks and falken springs go on here for around that price too. Who knows what you'll find!

The Eibach setup OneJay and turboremz have are pretty good and can be found cheaply on Supra Forums if you can get a set of used ones. I just sold my OEM Supra TT strut and Falken spring combo for $280 so that should give you an idea on how much to spend. I wouldn't spend more than $500 on a strut and spring setup since you can get used coilovers in the $500-$800 shipped range.
