MSS vs HKS Springs.

Did you max out the drop?

Nah there’s still 4mm on the front and 8mm at the rear left.

Did your rears settle a fair bit? Just threw mine on and drove around a little but the drop in the rear is no where near what i expected while maxed out.

They did. I actually had to raise the car a little as I had started scraping everywhere.

Nice, thanks for the quick reply man.

So from what I'm seeing, a lot of people are recommending MSS for performance oriented springs. What about HKS are they more for daily use, softer? I've been looking at lowering springs and HKS lowering springs seemed really nice to me. I daily my car, and I'm going for a street build. I don't track my car, but a lot of street of racing. What would you recommend? And have you installed the MSS ones or HKS.

I think I would recommend the MSS over the HKS for HAS springs overall...

We have both in stock though.

You may lose the benefit of the extra front wheel clearance at the bottom of the spring if you go with the MSS style:

Thank you for this comparison pic. So the MSS lower perch is essentially identical in terms of diameter when compared to the OEM perch? You gain no additional clearance for a wider wheel/tire like you do with the HKS?

A friend of mine is selling a set of square 18x10.5 +38 wheels (275/30/18 tires), he has no rubbing at all but he runs the HKS springs, I've ordered the MSS springs. So I'm wondering if I'll be able to run those wheels/tires. If I have to make some minor modifications to the spring perch (https://apexwheels.com/blog/technic...8-wheels-on-gr-supra-choose-your-tires-wisely) and/or run a 5mm spacer up front I'm totally fine with that.

I've been running MSS for about a month or so, no rubbing at all.

My wheels are 19x9.5 ET22 and 19x11 ET35. Tires are 275/30/19 and 305/30/19. On the lowest settings, I have about a finger gap still. Manual transmission.
