~ Yes I’m on stock tires... but with the moderate lowering of .8” front and rear ... you wouldn’t have any clearance issues with a larger sized tire.
Appreciate the response.

Does look great!

Hows the ride?
Thanks!

As for the ride... many have said they like this set up and near oem ride.

I honestly haven’t driven the car since the install due to the bad Ohio winter weather.

I've noticed Eibach have two different part numbers available for lowered springs on the Supra.
Probably a dumb question but does anyone know what the difference is ??

As mentioned earlier, I was in search of an even subtle drop (.8” front and rear*) versus lower than some others prefer.

Here’s the breakdown in the differences of the most common lowering springs.

H&R (Sport) Supra 3.0 -
1” front & .75” rear

Eibach (Pro-Kit) Supra 3.0 -
1.75” front & 1.2” rear

*Eibach (Pro-Kit) Z4 3.0 - (Euro Spec)
.8” front & .8” rear
(These are only available out of the county -
not a US part number)
Part # E10-20-046-02-22

After securing the correct part number I purchased the set on eBay - shipped from Poland (arrived in a few days)

Do you think it's worth putting something under the bumper to prevent scraping (like SLIPLO) after the 0.8 drop or is it still plenty high enough that you have zero clearance issues? Just curious. Thanks for this by the way - I just ordered from that link and it says 3 day UPS Select even though its international - which is nice.

~ Being slightly lower than stock... I might add this for additional protection to the lower front spoiler.

I need these springs in my life. I assume the car has to get an alignment after getting these lowering springs installed?

~ Yes an alignment would be suggested after the springs settle. Perhaps within a 100 miles or so after install.

Some may say the alignment isn't altered with the spring install but I think it’s a good idea.

Looks great.. modest drop probably good idea for our Ohio roads. What all did this kit come with? Sleeves? New bump stops? Instructions?

Thank you... the end result was the perfect stance I was looking to achieve.

As for the kit... it just came with the 4 eibach lowering springs with insulators attached to the rear springs.

I trimmed the factory bump stops (one round donut / rounded side - see photo) front and rear and reused the original dust boots. All while retaining the oem look (front and rear dust boots and bump stops).

No instructions included. A rather straight forward install.

Hope this information is helpful.

I just installed a set of these on mine today. Its a fantastic mod, I too think its the perfect height. Ride quality hasn't been compromised at all.
Cheers for sharing
