i want to slam my car, and i heard the best way to do that is get coilovers, but i've also heard that lowering mk3 to much causes really bad alignment problems. So would you have to camber or anything? What's the best way to lower my supra as much as possible, without hurting anything else?

Coil overs & camber links.
The supra wont really lower enough to cause suspension issues its not like the hondas.
Supras just tend to go from weak 4x4 suspensions to about what it should have been from the factory.

Its just when you change your suspension you should get it aligned afterward anyways.

I run H & R lowering springs. Sits fairly low and no rub at all with 18" wheels and a 40 series sidewall. I have no uneven treadwear anywhere.

Offset, not stiff enough of a suspension causes rub.
Last resort you could take it to a pro to roll the fenders.

Cutting down springs is not the best way at all to lower a car its unsafe and that does hurt the suspension just get a good set of coil overs (real ones not the ebay cheap slip on spring collars).

Megans & Tien RAs are an examle of the most aggressive set you could get you could slam it until the bottom of the car drags on the ground and the wheels will not rub.

im running tockicko blues with apex springs and 18 inch rims, and never got an alignment, and drives just as nice as it did before the swap with no wheel play or anything. But everyone says you need an alignment, so perhaps with coil overs you do.
