I'm planning on upgrading my suspension from stock...
I'm not looking to dramatically drop the car.,,
neither am I looking for a hard/bumpy ride.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know of anyone who wants a hard and bumpy ride! For starters get a system that is purpose-oriented. If you are going to track your Supra, you will need height adjustment in addition to preload adjustment. If all you want is slightly lower stance, you don't need to tie-up $1400 or more in a coilover system. Lastly, make sure your bushings are in order before you start.
Once you go to a descent set of complete coilovers I doubt you'll ever consider the lowering spring/ stock style shock combo again.
With as cheap as the TEIN basics are or even some of the more adjustable types out there I don't even see the point of spending $700ish on adjustable shocks and lowering springs anymore.
If you're really tight on $$ you could always to a matched set like the tokico illuminas w/ springs for under $600 but...
Even if you prefer stock ride height I'd still do a nice coilover set for the added body control, better turn-in, etc.
After I have installed all the new seals, BCsprings, retainers, locks and buckets,
with T-belt off, put crank at -10 btdc so all pistons are slightly down, install new BC 272 cams, install cam gears, torque cams as per manual. Then turn CAMS clockwise to tdc notches, and than turn CRANK to tdc...

I will post after pics when I have some ideas.

Recently acquired a rhd supra and slowly starting the process of swapping things over. Got myself some glass headlights and wanted to swap bulbs while I’m at it. Been told jdm lights differ from usdm. Hard finding more info on this. Thoughts? Trying to find a quality hid system, seems LED isn’t...
I came across asking myself today, do you need a igniter when you go to a aftermarket ECU and Harness? I noticed my friend is running a MOTEC and does not have one for his car.
