Folks:

Can anyone provide an overview of the installation requirements for struts/springs?

thanks (this forum is great!!)

optauto.com I could have sworn they were $225-235 beginning of the year. I got mine for $220 but that was from a friend who sells parts.

*** is $215/set for the springs and Spartan sells the matching struts for $25/ea. If you can beat that, let me know ....

I want to go with the supra tt setup to get the front and extra 1.3" lower. From what I've seen, you also need to use the supra tt stuts to match the tt eibachs (correct me if I'm wrong).

If you can't use the sc300/400 struts, then what kind of ride differences will the tt stuts give you (or are they the same ride, just a different fitment?)?

I will be using the eibach/tokico setup BTW

The NA Supra is 1.3" drop front, 1" back.

TGRich

I understand how much it lowers....I just misworded my post. I just need to know if you can run sc300 tokicos with the supra tt eibachs (will they fit or do you need supra tt tokicos to mate)?
I also need to know if the ride will be different, and how so, by going with the supra tt spec drop. I'm assuming the supra tt components are slightly more stiff?

Do a search on this with PCMW as the member and you wil find the answers. He has tried many combinations and reported on them. Either the front or the back are the same as the Supras and are compatible. Regardless of this, you do NOT want to put lowered springs on your old struts. You need to buy new ones anyway. Might as well get the full Supra upgrade. I don't know if you have driven a lowered car before but it is not as comfortable IMO as stock but it seems that perfomance and comfort are inversly proportional to a certain degree. Of course there are always exceptions.

lex400sc

The two rear Supra struts have a lower perch than the SC therefore Supra-modelled springs require Supra-modelled struts, otherwise you'll have a lowered front end and a raised rear end.

TGRich

So now I realize that to go the extra little bit lower in the front with the tt setup you DO need tt springs and struts all around.
The only question left now is how is the handling different vs. the sc300 1" drop eibach/tokico combo?

Hermosa

The handling will be stiffer but surer on the Supra combo. If you want handling go for the full Supra application. If you want a little more handling than stock but want to retain a more comfortable ride then stay with the SC300 application. Also remember that the Eibach spring set for the NA Supra is a little lower at 1.3". The Supra TT is a 1.2" drop in front.

Supra Non Turbo JZA80 93- 1.3"front/1.0"rear 8234.140
Supra Turbo JZA80 93- 1.2"front/1.0"rear 8222.140

TGRich

Well, that kind of sucks. On one hand, you can get a smooth ride, but sacrifice looks by only having a 1" drop. On the other hand, you can get the bigger drop, but have a stiffer ride. Why can't we get the best of both worlds!? Someone needs to contact eibach and tell them what we want (I'll probably end up doing this).

hey Soarer gents...

have you guys considered JDM Espelir Springs from japan? here are the specs:

F:40 mm drop, 7.0 Kg/mm
R:35 mm drop, 6.0 Kg/mm

the co makes ONLY springs in japan. it cost more than the Eibachs, but def worth the $$$

TGRich

Can anyone give me a link to the stuts for $25.00 page? I searched on spartan, but cannot find it. I'm looking for the supra NA struts.
Thanks
