Nic Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Don't understand your post, what do you mean by 'super supra struts'. Also what have you tried to fit on the rear? Is one of the rear dampers leaking? What dampers and springs do you currently have fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprab1 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I'm guessing you mean super strut suspension like the levins ect? The supra doesn't have this, it most likely has bilstein unless changed to after market. You should easily be able to sorce what your looking for on here. Just get the proper info on what your looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) Post up some pics of the dampers and springs you have fitted so we can try to identify what they are. All MKIV Supra models have the same fit of dampers/springs. If you have tried to fit a new damper and it didn't fit, then it must have either been from a different car model or it was a front damper instead of a rear. This is a pic of the stock Toyota/Bilstein dampers for reference. http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1017/cimg00037nc.jpg Edited February 20, 2011 by Nic (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrisM Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 How much are a set of shocks Nick? Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 How much are a set of shocks Nick? Just curious Not trading at the moment and not sure what current prices are like but they use to be around £380ish a set delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I do German made Bilsteins for all Supras, in fact for any car they have a listing for, they are more sophisticated internally than the ones made under licence by Toyota. I can also supply them with custom damper valving to suit my own springs, or for particular usages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Don't buy bilstien shock from Toyota they will cost you twice as much for just having Toyota written on them. And as CW as said they are the old technology. Don't really know what u mean by super supra Struts though I thought all supra's came with the sam struts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcar Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 That's not true they use to be quite cheap from Toyota. you might be right i was just going by what i was quoted from Mr T where i live. They quoted me £750 for all four corners about 2 years ago so i went direct to bilstein and got them for either £300 or £400 With the updated internal and shorter rod to allow the car to be lowerd. Maybe they might have been trying it on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 UK spec are £820 inc vat retail for fronts and rears, i can get 35% off them so under £540 inc vat to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
