no drop with supra mk4 struts
i just installed struts and springs from a 94 mk4 supra on the back of my 95 sc300. i measured the highest point of the fender lips before and after the change. NO DROP AT ALL ! it's exactly the same, about 26 1/4". now i'm afraid if i change the front ones and the front does drop even just one inch, it will make the car look even more jacked up than it already does. does anybody have any idea of what's going on here. here's what i got - http://www.ebay.com/itm/231086496793...9#ht_35wt_1090

I've got supra TT springs/shocks on the front of my car but haven't put the rears on yet. I forgot to measure before and after but I can only notice maybe a half inch difference. Here's a pic I just took a couple of days ago.
Stock SC springs on rear and stock Supra springs on front. It's not going to make your car look funny.

OEM TT MK4 Suspension only provides .5'' drop, possibly more if the springs sag.
OP if you didnt notice a drop at all, give it a few days and see if it settles in place. If not, go back and double check to make sure everything was installed properly, thats the only suggestion I have.

What he ^^ said. It took a few days before I noticed the small drop. Where you'll notice for sure is the ride. It'll be a little stiffer. Like I said, I've got the TT's on the front and it's an interesting ride going over wavy roads. I'll get my rear ones on next week when I have some extra hands to help me.

after not driving it for a couple days, i do notice a slight drop, and the ride is alot stiffer. i went ahead and put the front ones on last night. i'll update in a few days after everything has had a chance to settle. thanks for the input everyone.

Driving the car will help the springs settle a bit quicker. Also, a sure-fire way to see the difference, is find a stock SC in a parking lot and park next to it if possible. If you can do this, dont look at the roof line or hood level, take note on the side mirror levels. Hope it works out well
