I had eibach on my 94 sc400 with the original shocks and did not like the looks or the ride. The ride was not comfortable. I was bouncing a lot on the freeway. I'm not sure if my original shocks were bad or not. I went through a set of Toyo T1-S real fast on the rear wheels. Again, not sure if this was related to the eibach and original shock combo. Also the eibach lowers the car one inch all around. If you don't like the look of the front gap being bigger than the rear gap, then eibach springs are the not the way to go. You won't get that aggressive stance look if that is what you're looking for. $285 plus shipping and handling, $75 to have them installed and $75 for alignment. So for almost $500, I did not like it at all. Then again, this is my experience with the eibach with original shocks and not with tokico. I eventually got tein cs and loving it. Hopes this help and good luck! moony400

Hey Guys, Just want some opinion on the 92-00 SC J-MAGIC FULL KIT. Does anybody have this installed on their sc400? Anything about quality and fit problems? I see some pictures on websites and they look pretty good. Any opinion? moony400

Yes they are. 18X8.5 front on Toyo T-1R 235/40/18 and 18X9.5 rear on Toyo T-1R 265/35/18

Okay all done! The issue with the front right having more gap than the left could possibly be due to the fact that my garage my not be as level as it may look. When I park it outside my drive way which has a little slope towards the street, their gap level is almost identical. So I'm going to leave as is. Now for the tein cs review...LOVE IT! I finally got the stance I want. The front is lower than before while giving a more comfortable ride. The car is just steady on the freeway now. Before, I was having problem with the car shifting in certain lanes a lot on the freeway, test some of those lanes out and so far, no shifting. All I can say is that I'm very happy with the purchase. I've installed the EDFC also, but haven't play with the settings yet as I want the threadlock to really dry up first, so to avoid any possibilities of the edfc motor spinning. Here are some pics.

Need some help. I got the tien cs all in, but one problem. the front right has more gap than the left front even though their heights are set the same. I then jack the right side back up and lower it some more, buy turning the spring seat. Now the there is only one thread left available to go down any further and it still have a bigger gap than the left side by a 1/4 inch. Anybody got any ideas? I called Tein Support and they couldn't come up with anything and told me to double check the installation to make sure the springs on the tein cs are same number. Taking it in tomorrow to get an alignment and new front tires. thanks, Moony400

Okay, I got the rear put in and started working on the front and noticed my lower control arm bushing is all messed up, so I'm going to replace that also. I'm going to go with the supra control arms. Does anybody know what year range of supra control arms will fit a 1994 sc400? Will it be from a regular supra or the twin turbo supra? Thanks, moony400

Yep, I am unable to take the rear strut off last night. Even with a friend's help. I went out and bought a 300 in. lb. electric impact wrench and it didn't work either. Going to return it today and get a pnuematic one some where around the 500 in. lb.

Thanks for the tips. I haven't got around to taking the strut assembly out yet so I started on the edfc wiring first. I took some pictures and will post the whole project when I'm done with it. Moony400

Hi All, I just got my tein cs and edfc and ready for installation. Just wanted to ask those of you who has installed them to give any advice you can. Things to look out for, tricks to make things easier, how did you run the wire for the front edfc motor to the controller that will be sitting inside the car, etc. Also, how do you adjust the ride heigt on the tein cs? The instructions that came with the teins are not in english. I was searching for a post I saw awhile back where someone installed the edfc controller inside the ash tray area, but couldn't find it. thanks, moony400

thanks for the link, but that just takes to their main website and all it tells you to do is to email sales which I've done a few times now and still haven't gotten any replies. thanks for the info on the bushing. lucky i didn't order them. i just ordered the tein cs and edfc kit. i'm going to see how it feels after installing those and if it still not up to par, i'll probably go with the supra tt control arms. thanks, moony400

Hello All, Does anyone know how to contact TM Engineering? I placed and order almost two weeks ago and haven't gotten the product or an status on my order. I emailed them, but they don't reply. I called them and they don't answer. When I finally got someone, they say it should ship Saturday or Monday (last week). I called them many times and email also to see if I can get a tracking number, but no answer to phone calls or replies to my emails. Dissappointed! Moony400

Hello All, I just ordered tein cs with edfc for 1994 sc400. My question is, what is everyone who has lowered their car use to correct camber issues? I see that daizen has a camber correcting bushing kit, has anybody installed it? Is it hard to install? Does it work? Basically, I'm looking for some comments from anyone who has any experience with lower control arm, upper control arm (front and rear) bushings and ways they correct their camber issues. Also the Daizen Sport Tuning Replacement Steering Rack Bushing Kits All comments suggestions are greatly appreciated. thanks, moony400

All, just wondering if anything is wrong here. I started my car this morning and got a lot of smoke (normal looking smoke). I let the car idle for a little bit in the garage to warm up and I can really smell gas all over the garage. I've never really notice this before. I drove off and the car runs fine. Not check engine or anything. Should I be checking for something?

Thanks for the clarification on that JIBBY. Moony400

JIBBY, you mention that the dragon torque converter is great improvement for 0-30 mph and that is looses some power on the high end. Can you explain a little bit more on that? If you on the freeway cruzing around 60 mph and then decide to floor the pedal to pass some one, will you not feel the power? I see a lot of people say it's a good upgrade for better of the line start, but how much power our we loosing on the high end. Will the car be a slug trying to keep up with someone on the freeway? Thanks, Moony400
