it all depends on wha you are aiming for. Drag, autox, drift, eve god forbid rally lol. Oh and welcome to the forums, and its customary for:ttiwwp:
Its a heavy car so its gonna take more than springs to keep it from wanting to go its own way.
I wouldnt get the Eibachs since theyre a progressive spring and it takes some getting used to, to find the soft spot.
Eibach does allow you to order custom springs if you want to design your own, but it cost a few hundred more.
If your serious save up and go coilovers If your doing mountain runs its what you'll want.

Upgraded Solid Sway bars made the biggest difference in my cars handling and left it compliant enough to be drivable.
Stiff springs and shocks leave a lot to be desired in a DD on public roads.
(having said this I upgraded to ext adjustable Koni Coilovers)

but i love my koni shocks. 
I have B&G's. They are a good all around spring with good handling, good ride, and good ride height. They are also about the lowest cost out there. You can get them from www.935motorsports.com.
i also have the B&G's and there ok, the only thing is the drop is the same all around, it needs to be droped alittle more in the front. but their progressive i believe and i like the feel. but i need new sway bars!!
Coilovers ftw.
Theres a few sets on ebay last I checked, and they were going for ~$500...
that's where I'd look.
Swaybars is what makes the supra come alive though.

Well I still plan to get the kit off suprasotre.com for 870 you get 2 sway bars, 4 tokico illuminas tems compatible struts, and 4 eibach springs, I don;t plan to do anything other than street drag, track drag, and a bit of highway pulling. So I figure these will give me aggressive stance, and decent enough handling I heard the sway bars will help, lets see I guess.
Kurt is correct the sway bars are very important in a Mk3 as it's a big heavy pig and the stock bars are hollow and not heavy enough in the wall to control roll!
ive been thinking about this but, if you change your suspension then the tems/ect what ever wont work.
Anyone have anny reccomendations on some Sways that arnt toooooo expensive? I would love to reduce my roll! lol
Big sway bars + new Tems style shocks would be sweet as it will be nice and compliant have minimal roll and can be stiffened with a switch!
Suspension Techniques will be the cheapest and supposedly they are of good quality. I can't verify this with any experience though.
The Eibachs hav a good drop up front, but the rear is to high, I think it needs to come down .5-.75". I had them with the Bilsteins, but I am now running the JZA70 Turbo R springs.
