I've heard that the Eibach springs are very good and the KYB shocks would be a good match to go with them. What are your takes on the springs and shocks? Also, how much of a difference will I feel handling and ride quality wise?
Thanks for the help!
1) Why do you want to lower your Supra? Please note that it may not handle better after being lowered.
2) N/A or TT?
3) Agreed - Eibach springs are quite good.
4) KYB/AGX shocks are a good aftermarket choice for the jza80.
5) The oem springs and shocks aren't really that bad either. In fact, they've been effectively roadraced in OLOA (Reg Reimer).
6) The shocks will make more of a difference than the springs in how the handling feels.
7) Consider aftermarket sway bars to further reduce body roll

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
