So Dave those bilsteins you sell definatly wont lower my car?? Do i then just grab a set of front from toyota and get stiffer springs??
No, the modifeid ones will not lower your car unless you move the circlips that are supplied with them. Stiffer springs wont raise you car, as most aftermarket springs that are stiffer, lower your car at the same time.
Damien- Ill double check, my OE shocks I swear had KYB on them. Maybe mine had been changed at some point. Either way tokico are very good, but KYB is the largest manufacturer of OE shocks anyway.
JZA80 Monotubes in KYB $173ea per corner. (this price will inflate as there is a price rise in 3 days) ZZ Twin tube KYB $139ea per corner. (this price will inflate as there is a price rise in 3 days)
king springs are $140 pair, PM me for a package deal.
Modified JZA80 supra Bilsteins are $295 ea (fixed price atm) These require a few little modifications, one bing extra circlip grooves, these allow you to lower the car also, $35 ea shock New spring seats are supplied with the shocks to allow them to go into soarers with no modifications, but there are none in the country atm, I have been told 3 weeks in the air shipment. These may incur a fee, they never used to, but budget for $50pr (only 2 are needed) It would technically be cheaper to get the OE toyota ones modified to do the same, but they are valved slightly softer which cant be changed cheaply. I beleive the OE ones are $165 ea or so.
Stechs I can do for $350 a full set
freight will varies per brand, but $50 all up, or under covers you to Victoria.

Dave S Tech come in 3 levels of spring rate....Soft F10 R4.9 /Medium F12 R6.3 and Hard F15 R8.....do you have have access to all types? All seem to have a drop of F 36mm and R 42mm ....I would be interested in medium rates. If I ordered medium S Techs with JZA80 KYB Monotube shocks would I need the supra rear springs and NOT Soarer ones?

Thats great Dave ill go with a set of bilsteins all round to keep my ride at stock height, I'm assuming you can supply the front pair with the valving to make them harder as well. What springs should i use if i want to keep it stock height then?? I rang eibach and they dont do one to keep it stock height. After something firm enough to match te shocks.

Re KYB shockers not fitted to Soarers, I have a rear set off a UZZ30, and they are KYB with Toyota written on them, and a Toyota part number. 48530-24140. And I can get new KYBs for my car from Autopro. Listed in the KYB cattledog.

Ian, so you are agreeing that the factory shocks are KYB? Sorry its hard to comprehend
Also as I said, for any package deals etc, PM or email myself, and I'll work a price out.
We wont always be the cheapest price, but we can try. I can list all part numbers up, they are available online anyway, as long as you guys get a good deal some where, thats all I want to hear.
just make sure your not sold something with bad advice I.e. kybs aare good for 50mm lowering jobs . WRONG
