Suspension on big powerrrr

Hi everyone, 

So since my Supra has been mapped and driving (finally!) the weight of the sound deadening, turbo, intercooler, manifold and slightly larger diameter wheels and tyres etc. etc. has made the car alot more 'crashy', I remember it being firm but not this much! It is currently or grey TRD coilovers which give it a lovely tight feel but I can't help but want the comfort that my factory TT Supra had on OEM springs and yellow Bilsteins.

Plus I need to raise the height a touch as the arches are catching the 285/35/18 tyres, but arches are getting rolled shortly. I did trim the arches hoping it would be enough but it was not to be.. 

 

So is anyone running 6/700bhp+ on Bilstein shocks and OEM springs? I can't imagine any downfalls apart from the slightly higher and softer rear end

Dont TRD springs have a high rate hence they are crashy ?

The Eibach Pro Sport Kit (Progressive) might be the way to go but would lower the car approx 30mm and 25mm

so depends how low your TRD set up is 

Sadly the register is a tad messed up

Yeh I did have a look at the register.. it seems most coilovers have a high spring rate!

 

Progressive springs are what I want, the car is just fast road driving, may do the one track day or runway event but not enough to warrant £2k coilovers.

Pasted a table in so it's more readable till the BBCode is fixed :)
