Hi,

I have just purchased a set of eibach pro kit for Supra TT since the one for SC300 is backordered till next month. I have read many posts about the Supra TT's Eibach Pro Kit + KYB AGX setup in this forum. Since my stock struts still in pretty good condition, I'm planning on keeping my factory struts with just Supra TT's Eibach. Will this work?

Thanks.

 

No. If you bought TT part # springs, you will need to use TT part # shocks. From my understanding, the supra springs will not fit on sc300 shocks.

 

Thanks. I'll need to order a set of kyb agx then.

 

What about SC400 shocks?

 

Same problem...

The rear perch is too high I think.... that is what I have learned.

I think you can get away with just new rears....


BTW...if you have stock struts at stock height....you probably want to replace the struts when you lower it.... It is NOT because they will wear out quickly due to the lower ride height as many people say. It is the fact that the seals will break from wear in the tube from the time it spent shoving debris to up the plunger and not lubricating the entire length of the metal. When the added travel distance becomes frequent, the stuts seal breaks causing it to fail. I have stock struts on my SC300 with Eibach and not a single problem...not to mention a great ride.

You can install the eibachs up front for now but your going to need some supra tt rear shocks to go with the rear springs. I'm riding on one kyb agx on the front left and a stock sc300 shock on the front right because tirerack sent me 1 front and 1 rear supra tt kyb agx shock when they were supposed to send two fronts. Oh well, hopefully the seals will hold up on the stock front right shock until I get the other front shock in, but I doubt it because those eibachs sit so much lower than the stock springs.

 

How about the Eibach Prokit for the SC400. If I were to get those, could I use the stock shocks or would the same failure occur?

 

Stock SC400 shocks work fine with the SC400 Eibachs as they are made for the car.

 

lex400sc,

When you do all that work....either order new factory struts for $200 or new KYB AGX's for $400.

Personally...on your car...I would go with the entire Supra setup...Eibach Supra springs on Factory Supra Struts

edit> Wow...Supra Turbo factory front struts run $125 while SC fronts OEM are only $50.... Get the KYB AGX if thats the case

 

Hey Matt,

Hook me up with a list of everything I need again for my NA Supra Spring Set. Can you PM this as well as where you bought the stuff so I can get my handling taken care of?

Thx

BTW you better show up to the San Jose meet

 

Okay so KYB AGX, and the Eibach Supra Prokit for the NA or TT? I would like the lowest drop possible, which I'm pretty sure is the Eibach Supra NA at 1.3-inches front and 1-inch rear, correct???

 

Correction, Fremont meet. Don't want the poor guy getting lost now .

 

Yeah...get the N/A I heard it works the best.

And whats with the "poor guy" comments?

LOL

I will probably follow or lead the way to Fremont with Hermosa.

 

Hehe, I have no room to talk. I'm probably the "poorest" one on all of ClubLexus right now (financially). I have about $2 in the bank, $15 in the wallet, and living off my credit cards!

 

haha try having negative $900 in the bank. now thats poor.
