OEM Ride Quality Lowering Springs

[What2JZ]

Hello all, I am am asking for the folks that are on springs how their ride is. Granted I am looking for 1" in the front and 0.75" in the rear. For folks with similar setups, what springs have you found the be the closest to OEM ride stiffness. I understand the lower you go, the more stiff the ride will be because of physics but are there any brands yall have found to have better ride quality. I do not want to do coils as I want to keep the dampers. Thanks in advance.

Hopefully I can assist…

I personally wanted a slightly more aggressive stance than stock but without a pitch (lower front & slightly higher rear). Hence the reason I went with the Euro Eibach Z4 Pro-Kit Springs with an even lowering of .8” front and rear.

The look is oem plus and the ride very near stock but with less body roll and less wheel well gap.

I also added Burger Tuning wheel spacers 10mm front and 13mm rear to complete the look.

Also be certain to trim the rubber bump stops front and rear when installing lowering springs on the Supra.

Zero regrets… the perfect stance imo.

CLEAN! Thanks for the reply!

~ Thank you!

Here’s a link to the Z4 Euro Springs I was referencing… many Supra forum owners have purchased from this Poland Seller. No affiliation.

Awesome sauce sir, i think i will go with those. Have you experienced any clunking with the cut bump stops?

Running H&R springs.. don't remember the drop but definitely a little more aggressive than @Andrew4Supra . This is for if you want that teenage stance boi look or if you wanna look obviously lowered. The comfort is a tad bit bouncier than stock, but overall comfy since it is a progressive spring design. You need to incorporate the Tein Spring Silencers or you might get some clunking sounds. Other than that, no issues. I'm on H&R trak+ 13/15mm, same specs as @Andrew4Supra , definitely agree this is the ideal OEM+ specs for spacers you can run.

The exact specs you are looking for, 1” Front & .75” Rear, can be achieved using H&R lowering springs.

I have them on my Supra 2.0 (lowers the car an additional .2” because OEM springs are taller), and I am very happy!

Thank you all for the replies! I love your setups!

What spacers are you running, and you have had any rubbing issues?

No issues, clears fine even on 285's. My buddy is on the same setup on 295's and he clears.

I went Eibachs, supra fitment, not euro, which came with replacement bumpstops and everything needed.

Love the ride and love the drop. No complaints here

I just didn’t want the slammed look & to affect the ride quality. Oem plus I call it. ?

does it really ride like OEM? I had the adjustable HKS setup to around this drop (a bit less) and they do feel kinda stiff; I can feel the land markers “crashiness” in the cabin - stock felt sublime, even in sport mode
