That choice would be left up to you.
But it isn't necessary.

I just had my Eibach (the version which lowers the car by 20mm front & back). I have driven the car with it for about 100kms+ and here is how I "feel" about it...
When the car is set to normal mode, the firmness is almost close to when the car is on Sports mode and the car is slightly but noticeably "bumpier" and it definitely wobbles a little less. All not very surprising.
When the car is set to Sports mode, it gets even firmer and bumpier to a point where I no longer feel like I want to leave the Sports mode setting on unless I want to have some fun and driving it faster around the corners. With the OEM spring, either normal or sports mode doesn't bother me much.
Overall, I think the ride quality probably degrade by about 20% to 30% (maybe even a bit more) from the original depending on how sensitive you are and what mode you are on.
in terms of the handling change, the rear end is now less tail happy. When I try to let the rear wheel skid by going hard on the throttle mid corner, it's definitely less willing to slide (meaning more grip?). One thing I noticed though is that despite it's more difficult to make the car slide, when it does slide, it's slightly less "stable" and you can feel the rear wheels are bumping a little. With the OEM spring, it's buttery smooth when it skids. I guess that's not too surprising still since it's a stiffer spring.
As for the look, it's fine. It doesn't give you that super sexy low look like the other Eibach version, but it's sensible and I think it does the job well without sacrificing the practicality much at all.

looks great! just ordered the eibach euro specs as well (thank you) but wondering would 13 mm front and 15 mm rear would poke out the wheels too much on this spring setup for oem wheels?Hopefully I can assist…
I personally wanted a slightly more aggressive stance than stock but without a pitch (lower front & slightly higher rear). Hence the reason I went with the Euro Eibach Z4 Pro-Kit Springs with an even lowering of .8” front and rear.
The look is oem plus and the ride very near stock but with less body roll and less wheel well gap.
I also added Burger Tuning wheel spacers 10mm front and 13mm rear to complete the look.
Also be certain to trim the rubber bump stops front and rear when installing lowering springs on the Supra.
Zero regrets… the perfect stance imo.

Do you know the measurements from the ground to your fender above the middle of the wheel? I'm trying to decide if I want to get these or the Euro Eibachs.Just installed AC Schnitzer lowering springs:
lowering FA ca. 15 - 25mm
lowering RA ca. 15 - 25mm
Mild lowering and OEM ride quality
Basically I'm looking for the closest to stock possible but with a 1/2" to 3/4" drop.

I won't be surprised if ACS springs are the rebranded Euro Eibachs
I was considering them as well, but then decided going with ACS springs together with their aero components

Thanks for posting those. They're close but it looks like they might be very slightly higher than the Euro Eibachs.
