I want to keep stock ride quality, these are my plans.
Hello, I just bought my SC400 two weeks ago, it's got oem LS chrome wheels in it, which I plan to change in a couple of months.
I love the ride quality and I want to keep it like that as much as possible, I want to get 18 inch rims but I don't want to go too thin on the tire so any suggestions?
Also I want a 1.5 inch drop, would that sacrifice ride quality too much? What springs, are any supra lowering springs compatible with the SC?

Supra springs and shocks are compatible (93-98 Supra MK4), but must be used in conjunction with each other, no mix-n-match on the shocks/springs (no Supra to SC, only Supra to Supra, SC to SC). As for ride quality, everyone is going to have a different opinion on what springs and shocks. My suggestion from personal experience is the KYB AGX shocks (for MK4 Supra) with the Eibach pro kit (again for the MK4). Gives a tad bit more than a 1.5'' drop, but rides very nicely, and dampening rate is adjustable with the AGX shocks.
Bottom line questions though, are what are you plans for the car and what is your budget like? Are you going to want to go lower/higher later? Is the car a DD, weekend toy, garage queen, or combination?
Hope that helps out a bit. Hit the search function up top and search a bit for more sping/shock combo information. There are tons of different setups floating around here, and all with different results and opinions.

Thanks a lot for your help, I'm going with the setup you just mentioned as it sounds very much to what I want. I'm not planning to build a race car, I like the luxury aspect of the car and I want to keep it like that, I'm not doing 20 inch rims or bigger, I think 18's are good enough, some nice paint and that's it.
My budget is kind of tight now, but I have time to do this, no rush, once again, thanks.
