since im buying another supra and putting in a 2j
im keeping my black 87 as a DD and just as a showcar.
i dont want to throw a lot of cash into lowering my car, so what would be the cheapest setup, without cuting the springs?

Heat the stock springs. A couple of people I know of around my way did it to their supra. Never get a chance to get a ride with them so i don't know how it feels.

If you don't like that idea, Intrax springs and kyb gr2's.

The MK3 uses shocks, struts are basically the same thing, only they get used on cars with a strut setup, which we don't have.

OK WELL I FOUND THESE.
http://www.sportcompactonly.com/product.aspx?p=2089&c=128&l=2 <this is for the rear and front strut pairs.

http://www.sportcompactonly.com/pro...ource=froogle&p=1589&l=2&utm_medium=shop&c=29 <this is for the springs.

http://www.importperformance.com/store/341069 <front shocks.
http://www.importperformance.com/store/341070 <rear shocks.

so what should i get, the shocks seem to be cheap as hell and doesnt our cars run on gas shocks. also i have T.E.M.S in my car, yes it is a NA and it also has LSD, but do i need to disconnect my TEMS, im pretty sure i do need to but not quite sure?

NOYFB!
Drop is 1.3",both front and rear. I got'em too, and like them okay, although I'd like the front down a little lower. But they'll do for now!
