Supra springs and Bilsteins
Can anyone that has or has had Supra springs and Bilsteins tell me what spring perch , lower or upper they use. If the stock Supra ride height (upper perch) lowers the SC .50in then the lower perch position on the Bilsteins should lower the SC an additional 7/8in for a total of 1-3/8in. Is anyone running this set-up ?

This probably isn't the greatest news, but my fronts I had to take apart and move to the highest position to avoid being lowered. The car handled like crap when it was low.
The back is a different story; the grooves provided had the car raised way too high. I had to place my own grooves into the new Bilsteins, was not pleased, but at least it could be done on my lunch break.
This is with '94 Turbo springs.
I also wound up using a rubber coil spring booster to block one of the front coils. This was done to balance the over-steer I was getting with the stock Supra springs, '97 rear Supra sway bar. It's all good now, car handles awsome.
