lowering springs

Can you simply buy a higher compound spring (tighter-sprung) that fits on stock dampers and Bilstein rears or do you need to match brand for brand, ie. HKS springs and set-up.

Any recommendations?

Not looking to slam it much, just to loose some of the height above the wheels and under the nose. Around 30mm

I apologise in advance for such a relatively easy/newbie question. Please forgive me.

any good ones will be fine edd, my eibachs were very good

edit, they were about a 25mm drop

Cheers mate.

I'll do a search.

"Eibach Pro Kit Springs for 1993-98 Supra

This kit lowers the front 1.2" & the rear 1.0" and dramatically improves cornering capability. No more nose dive toward the pavement under hard braking. Progressive rate maintains soft ride for daily driving but progresses to a stiffer rate when performance is demanded from the car. Compatible with factory & aftermarket shocks.

Note that this spring kit was originally designed for the Twin Turbo model Supra. However, it fits the Non-Turbo 100%. Eibach used to have a Non-Turbo spring kit but they discontinued it in 2003. They probably finally realized that the Twin Turbo kit was the same thing!"

Perfect SupraPL.

Much appreciated

Just to reiterate whats already been said, the Bilstein/Eibach combo seems to work well and most people I have spoken to find them fine for day to day use - though for some they are a little hard.

It's a cheap upgrade too I got my set 2nd hand for £60, fitted them myself (its easy so long as you can use a wrench )

...and don't put the springs on the wrong way!

Cheers matey

...and don't put the springs on the wrong way!

what,.. like horizontally not vertically?

In know,... front and back!.

I have the Bilstein/Eibach combo and its perfect for me. Not to soft and not to hard. A nice ride imo

Great

Where did you guys buy them from?

Can't seem to find them listed on our traders sites other than US and E-bay.

Another on ehere with the Eibach combo

AND I managed to fit them the wrong way round too. Yay me!

I'm pretty sure Envy supply them

Remember that, but thought it best not to mention

...and don't put the springs on the wrong way!

so,.. just to remind myself:-

The pair with the smaller diameter "tail" at one end are the rears. The fronts are a heavier gauge wire, too.

Sorry already came on the car. Think paul whiffin added the springs so maybe worth sending him a pm

Cheers mate.

Pauls site slipped my mind and he does list them for £171 + vat & postage.

I do like the idea of the middle brace for aerotops on that link. Just thought I'd add that!

so,.. just to remind myself:-

And just to make it even more difficult, Eibach cunningly put a "1" on the front springs, and a "2" on the rears.

Top tip: Scotch and Suspension don't mix

thanks

all sorted now.

Getting them sent direct to Turbofit and fitted whilst the car is having a service and Do-luck skirts from Knight-Racer.

Happy

i bought a set of these today too. should see them tomorrow or wednesday
