500$ suspension budget
Hi guys i got a 87 supra turbo whith manual trany and stock lsd, i got 500 bucks to speend on suspension. My model came whith super moniter and TEMS. my main focus is for agressive street and some auto cross, i realy dont care about a rough ride (since im always on motorcycles im use to rough rides). I know eibach makes lowering springs for this model and tociko makes the illumnas 2 which are TEMs compatible i like them cause the adjutable levels and long life, if you guys got any shock and spring combos i would be glad to hear them

$500 will get you some decent lowering springs and a set of new mid grade struts. Add +$1000 to your budget if you want to make any significant upgrades to the suspension.

If you're really after an aggressive and predictable track feel you'll need to look for springs with a linear spring rate. ST's are the only ones I know of that are available at the moment; Everything else is progressive. I'm not a Tokico fan but they're the only TEMS compatible damper out there. If you don't mind manual adjustment (preferable as you can tune each to compensate for any bias) then I'd recommend Koni.
If everything on the car is stock right now then anything you buy will feel amazing. Also even just replacing all of the suspension bushings will probably make a huge difference for you.

i was doing a bit of shoping around and found that H&R makes race spring for my supra ( they say there great race springs and they lower more than eibach) ill probably go whith these springs but now i need a shock to match these stiff springs any sugestions, the Tokico are looking good but im open for any other shock especialy if its in my price range and offers better cornering performance
