7) What brand do you suggest going with?
1) The primary ways to reduce wheel hop are:
....A) Don't drag race with street tires or roadrace tires (i.e. use drag radials or slicks for drag racing), and
....B) Reduce (or eliminate) the play in the subframe bushings.
....Coilovers and/or shocks will have a near-zero impact on this issue.
7) TRD used to sell a good combo, but I don't think they're available anymore. I'd suggest these:

P.S. Fwiw, I honestly think a non-lowered Mkiv Supra Turbo looks just fine.

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.
