so it took me a little longer then I thought to get around to swapping out the eibachs for the b&g springs. (had a little issue with the timing belt jumping) But I thought I would post my first impressions of them MUCH stiffer then the eibachs the ride is not as bad as I thought it would be, with just a slight bounce, I haven't played around with shock settings yet but I will try some different settings over the next day or so and test on the same stretch of road.
So not only did I get a stiffer ride but it looks like 1/2 inch (maybe more once they settle) additional drop F&R good thing that my rear fenders were shaved and I have a slight stretch on the tires or I would be sol.
I will take a pic tomorrow of before and after for those of you interested in the additional drop over my previous set up.
Big thanks to Brian over at B&G for hooking me up with the springs and lending me a hand a long with a rack

these are for the Supra, here is the phone # if you want to get in contact with Brian (B&G main office/R&D location) (858) 547-9555 as for web site it's www.b-gsuspension.com I'll try and get the part numbers off the springs since I was under the impression that they were not currently on the site and they were a lower drop then the ones they have listed.


edit: pics

Before on TT Eibachs and AGX





after TT B&G and AGX





would have taken shots from same side but I'm missing the passenger fender. lmk if you want better pics/angles
