I have been doing some searching and i can't find an answer.
How many suspension set ups did Toyota do for a JZA80 Supra?
I know Bilstein is one.
Was KYB another? |

There was another not listed cant recall the exact name. Possible REARS which used nitrogen accumulators and tied both front wheel together I think and both rears.
It is supposed to provide a smoother ride whilst maintaning greater stability through corners. |

I think that's called REAS and I believe it was based on Bilstein shocks anyway.

Thanks guys.
The reason I was asking is that a bloke near were I am is wrecking a Supra, and I am in need of a set of rear struts for my TT.
He doesn't think that his struts are Bilstein, but I am wondering if the springs, top-hats and bump stops are the same as the ones on the Bilsteins.
Matt, pity we can't get those ones out of Mainfreight. |

KYB and others make replacement shocks for the JZA80's and they would reuse the factory top hats and springs.
Try giving them a call Evan you might get someone who's having a good day. I think they were from Tauranga.
I also threw a set of JZZ30 rear struts out a month or so ago!
Sorry man. |

Yeah, JZA80 factory top hats and springs is what I am after, but will they fit the Bilstein shocks? |

Yes they will.
I have a set of new JZA80 Bilsteins and stock springs in the garage which I am going to fit to the Soarer with Eibach springs I think. |

Second thoughts Matt? May be Eibach or stock springs for sale? Hint Hint;) |

You want the other springs Evan?
I have Tein coilovers in there at the moment which are going to come out and I will replace the stock JZA80 springs with some Eibachs and fit those. |

Nice work Evan.
The set at Mainfreight are shocks and springs from a JZA80.
You can get the stock JZA80 springs from my other set if you want but I am going to use the bilsteins and top hats. |

TRD suspension was also an option on the A80, although this is extremely uncommon |

OK. It looks to me that the difference between the Supra rear and the Soarer suspension is only the springs.
Measured hats,same. Bump stops, same.
Will check front Suspension tomorrow. |

Matt I got a set of Supra KYB for not a lot, and a Uzz30 set as well.
The UZZ30 set has Bilstein fronts.
The Supra rear shock spring seat looks to be slightly lower, but the spring is about half a turn shorter.(and the bottom of the spring is smaller diameter)
The UZZ front springs looks to be slightly larger in size. (fatter?).
I should add that, the rear hats, stops and springs went on to new Bilstein shocks. |

So is the overall JZA80 setup shorter in the rear?
What springs you going to run? I am going to try a set if Eibachs I think. |

The rear is lower, prolly an 20-25mm max on the rear, with a 17 inch rim (TT).
Springs are stock Supra.
Are the Eibachs Low or Superlow? |

All done.
Supra Bilsteins front and rear.
No clunks or funny noises, drive is so much smoother.
All old shocks were absolutely rooted.
