I'm a new first time owner of a 95 sc300. The car has 122k miles with original shocks. I think the shocks still have a few more miles left in them but I'm sure I'm ridding on borrowed time. I don't see many owners here refer to Bilsteins. I'd like to drop the car slightly, about 7/8" . I have a set of B's on a Honda product and they have two different positions for the springs to rest on the perch , thus giving you the option of either stock ride height or 7/8" lower ride height. Does B make something like this for my 300 ? Not wanting to go to coil-overs or slam the car , just lower it a little. I found that 7/8" on the other car was perfect. It didn't lower it so much that I worry about tire clearance or road clearance and it improved the looks bunches. The B's were fairly inexpensive compaired to coil-overs and the ride and handeling are right there with OEM.

IMO, Bilsteins are up there with the koni yellows. They're for the supra (MKIV), so your gonna need supra springs too

have Bilsteins and Eibachs on my SC. Rides and handles great. Just a slight drop. I believe an inch.

This question is for those with Bils or have knowledge of Bils. As I ask in the OP , do the Bils for the SC300 have two different positions for the snap ring that the spring perch rest on ? I would like to keep my oem springs but lower the car about an inch. The bils I have on the NSX have that option ( stock height or 7/8" lower) and still use the stock springs. Since I'm going to need shocks soon , I'd like to lower the car just a little but maintain the original springs and ride quality and not spend anymore money than needed. Plus is there any other manufacturer that might have the two position option for the spring perch on the shock without going to coilovers ?

There are two snap ring positions. However, you cannot use your stock springs. The Bilsteins are MKIV Supra specific so you will have to use Supra springs if you want to do a standard shock/spring setup.
