the previous owner of my car installed koni yellows, but im not sure what springs were used. i would like to get more of a drop out of the setup if i could. if i cant get a decent dop by adding springs or maybe adjusting the height with the konis ill just spring for some coilovers. if im not mistake you can only adjust the firmness and softness with these shocks right? heres a few pics to try and aid in anyone recognizing what springs were used.

i am running koni yellows for a supra with swift springs. i love my drop but im not sure exactly how much it is.
you can adjust the rebound on those, but if i recall you have to remove them to do so.

Swift springs lower the Supra by 1.2/0.8, although the springs above don't look like Swift to me.
Why not just clean the springs and look for the label?
I don't know how many variations of Koni shocks are available for the Supra, but I do know the current ones have 3 settings for the perches. The perches are spaced about 12mm apart form one another.

and yes i think you do have to remove them for adjustment.
this is how the car currently sits. the rear is ok but the front seems to be up a bit more based on the wheel well gap

That sounds about right. Once removed you can take that small ring off and lower it to a different perch.
