Default Supra springs and shocks

I was wondering if anyone knows for fact, not just "guesstimating", what kind of drop in height to expect if going from a stock 1993 SC300 suspension setup to a stock supra suspenion, shocks & springs. Thanks.

The exact amount is impossible to say since every car is different. Expect .5". Buy the Eibach or other brands (KYB) supra TT set-up and get the 1.2 to 2.0" drops depending on what you want. It will cost the same in the long run buying new parts.

thanks for the reponse. I actually need a subtle drop. my garage is too damn steep and with a 1" drop (eibachs) i hit the underbody at the top of my driveway. But i liked the tighter feeling with the eibachs so hoping the stock supra setup will be a good compromise.

You won't stuff the spoiler-lip on curbs,and parking lot dividers either with that setup,handles the same as the Eibach,just not as low-down.
