Default Stupid Question: Lowest Available Springs

I'm sure this has been asked before, but what is the absolute lowest Spring/Shock Combo. (Supra suspension included) Pics of cars would be sweet and much appreciated!

Thanks.

dont go with supra tein s-tech combo if you want low but if you want stiff springs, tein s-tech is like 673/363 spring rate so its stiff.

Supra Spring / Shock or look into espiler ASD

Well considering theres multiple combination ranging from 1inch to 2 1/2 with springs and these combos. Your going to be closer to the ground so your going to feel more dips and its going to be more bouncy your on springs. Its decent its not like your on a roller coaster and getting shaken all around

search for espelir asd springs on this forums and you will find plenty of pictures. it's a sc400/300 application and they're about a 2 inch drop. they're discontinued in the US, but I just ordered mine from www.upgrademotoring.com they're 2 months out though because they're coming from Japan. i'll post pics when I get them.

gets you nice and low and you can have a nice ride afterward.

although a nice supra shock and supra springs should have a nice ride.

These guys have answered ur question for SC spec springs, anything else is SUPRA spec and the drop would be too dependant on different peoples setups and cars.
