Just curious as to what you guys would recommend... I have a 95 ST with 16"Sportline Racing Brushed Aluminum Rims and Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 205/50 16 tires on it. My stock suspension with 90000 miles on it is starting to ride and handle like ass and i'm looking into doing it totally over. Any recommendations on a full suspension kit for the car? Like, which gas sgocks and what springs. I want the car to come down an inch and a half, MAYBE 2 (no tires in the wheel wells) and I'm not having much luck in finding a suspension for it. I'm looking to spend like 500, maybe 600 on it and it will be installed myself. Any ideas would be appreciated.

The front shocks have catridges for the shocks. There's a cap that unscrews and you just take the shock out. Apparently there are some, however, that can't be replaced. Somebody on this board had this prob with his 98 Convert.

6JenCelica: Since you have a 95, be sure to purchase some washers to go on the rear strut shafts. I just spent a whole month diagnosing a nasty knocking noise with the sportline's and the KYB's and it was a washer problem. Apparently (according to Charlie) toyota put washers on the rear strut shafts in 96 and above. Since we have no washers, it makes a clanking noise. If you don't put them in, you'll see what I mean.
