eibach springs , the cheapest that i know

you mean cutting springs is what you don't recommend.

that lowers your car but the ride is bouncy and no "spring" action.

i know you can cut the springs but im not going to do that is why i was asking about the springs

you can pick up eibachs on ebay for about $200 + shipping.

also suprastore.com has some for about the same price i think

If you want performance, adjustable ride height, adjustable spring pre-load, and adjustable damper go with TEIN Flex. Best coilovers I found for our cars.
TEIN also makes an SS (Super Street) for our cars. Somewhat less expensive and not as true performance oriented but if your not going to the track it's probably very good and adjustable too.

One good thing about adjustable is you can tune your suspension set-up, plus, if you mess around with different wheel sizes and tire profiles you can adjust your ride height accordingly.

Well he does want the cheapest. And Tein is definitely not the cheapest. But they are one of the best. I dont recommend going cheap on the Supra because it will bite you in the ass later on.

if you replace the springs you might wanna replace the shocks also

I didn't really pick up on the 'cheapest' part. Yes, TEIN are not cheap and I 100% agree going cheap usually cost more money in the end. I just waited longer while I saved my money to go with TEIN Flex and after my first day on the track I was sure glad. I'm sure TEIN SS are great too. By the way jp3z and supradrift...TEIN coilovers are springs AND shocks. If you still have the original shocks on your MKIII they probably need replaced anyway.

So basically for US $1,000.00 for TEIN SS you get high quality lowering and adjustable springs AND shocks. Worth saving your money and being patient.

(just so ya know...pronunciation TEIN is Tane)
