Help needed- installed Mark IV supension, now looks like an F-150
Is this a bad install? Incorrect parts? (purchased from a forum member)
2 1/2 gap in front.
Drives great.
Easy fix?
I like the shop that installed them and do not want to create a problem until I can explain what is the problem.

This is the issue. All Supra TT components have to be used. You cannot mix/match SC springs/struts with TT springs/struts. Or...you don't have TT components. I suppose you'll have to take that up with the seller.
Could go rock crawling though

Hello!
I had the same problem on my 97´SC400 with a Bilstein-Supra Suspension. on the rear was lower and ok, but on the front, i had the same high as with the original suspension!
The good was, the Bilstein-damper have rings and i maked a new groove for the fixing ring of the spring disc.
I think, you have only the normal damper, or?
greets

I ordered lowering springs. Regardless of how my setup turned out I want to go lower than the stock MK IV. It would have been impractical with my front lip. I broke that for the 3rd and last time.

you have been sold soarer suspension.
sell what you have got and get some coilovers where the height is adjusted with a movable base bracket, so the spring seat only needs to be adjusted to keep the spring captive and damping adjustment.
mmm nice front brakes

I bought these from a forum member. I tried to contact him to confirm they were from a TT. No reply.
I am having TT lowering springs put on the car Monday.
