Eibach or Tanabe?

The Tanabe's give you a "firm factory ride". I currently have OEM TT springs and they feel great. But the GF210's will give me a 10%-20% "firmer" ride... Keep in mind, "firm" not "stiff".... I've heard for other people that the Eibach's give a "stiffer" ride... But that's not facts that's just personal opinions...
OP, if you don't know yet; you cannot intermix springs and struts from a Supra and an SC. You have use both from the same car, i.e. TT springs/struts, SC springs/struts of course.

Ashtray keep in mind, if you want to go very low like 2" you dont want your suspension to be soft, because youll be scraping all over the place. You want it to be firm so the spring doesnt compress enough to scrape fenders or lining.
Seeing that you have aftermarket wheels if you go with eibachs they are firmer yet they are comfy and less chance you will be scraping. Now for the g2 springs that you already have, I dont know how firm or soft they are, so I couldnt tell you what your ride quality will be with eibachs/g2's. I used tokico shocks with my eibachs on my mk3 supra and it was awesome in every aspect of handling/braking compared to stock and other manufacturers out there.
