wile e coyote Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 If you don't race or track then stay with the stock shocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Chris Wilson revalved Bilsteins seem to be the way forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Top mounts etc are getting old now I originally swapped my stock suspension like for like on my old car but given the chance to do it again I would go coilovers and a full set of new droplinks.

SupraLEDrears Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I changed to Bilsteins and love them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I just changes my shocks and selected the stock Toyota Bilsteins which are more expensive than the Bilstein B6's which are often web site listed as suited to the Mk4 Supra. I did read on a US website that the Bilstein B6's ride an inch higher than the stock Toyota struts which makes the car good for off roading but clearly spoil the ride height look. That's why I ended going through a Toyota dealership for the stock parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'd go with a set of the optional Toyota/Bilstein dampers and perhaps a set of Eibach lowering springs, perfect setup for fast road use IMO. 2 x 48510-09016 Toyota/Bilstein Damper 2 x 48530-09016 Toyota/Bilstein Damper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellie1966 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Rider, Out of interest how much were the toyota shocks? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 £165 a corner, that's with a discount as I was told that the retail through Toyota is over £200 a corner. I did see specialist sites offering them for £10 cheaper but figured that for the sake of £40 I'd go direct to Toyota to ensure they were OE parts. What my baby needs my baby gets. Or in the case of the shocks, what she doesn't need she still gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
