i had to roll all the fenders. i was running 18x8 + 40 before with no issues. i had 225-40's on there. if i had to do it again, i'd do 18x8.5 +25 or +35.

I've been daily driving my Supra on H&R Sport Springs with Tokico Blues for a year and a half now and they're beautiful. The ride is smooth and forgiving on the highway, and stiff enough to be confident in the turns. Mind you a suspension overhaul is desperately needed on my car seeing as it just crossed 320K KMs (200K miles) the other day on the stock suspension bushings etc. So handling would be drastically increased with a healthier suspension system. I'm thinking of switching to KYB GR2s or Bilstein struts cause my Tokicos are starting to go.

OP,

If using TEMS is not problem, you could:
-take some measurements of your struts
-Call Bilstein
-Ask them to valve your shocks to the springs you would like to run (they have all kinds of options).

or

you could ask them what rate of spring rate will work with the Supra application as the pogo stick effect usually stems from unmatched spring and dampers.

or

you could take a ride in lowered local Supras to see what you like. Let's be honest, firm and stiff is relative so what may be bone jarring to you, may be firm to someone else.

I had them with tokico blues and it was a rake set up and the front sagged after a few years. I switched them out for Eibachs and I liked the eibachs wayyy more. Still was a rake set up but it was so much better overall.

Yeah my Springs have sagged a ton on the driver front. Probably cause I'm 230 pounds but still.
