check toyotacressida.net....you can get springs from 935motorsport.....

from what i have been searching, everyone goes with agx shocks...they say MK2 supra springs gives you a 1in drop, but base on pictures the front spring dont give that much, but the rear springs do....check out 935motorsport they carry suspension technique springs made for a supra but also will fit on your X7 and give you a 2.5 to 3in drop....i might go that route....unless if it's for looks then you can cut springs....

some people used supra stock spring in the rear and it gave them like 1.5 inch drop from what i read...all depends on the stock spring due to age...it could be sagging.....pretty much everyone goes with cut springs in the rear and coilovers up front....other way is to play around with different springs...rear springs are 5.5inch diameter....i'll be running 5.5x9.5 w/spring rate of 500lbs...which will give atleast a 2 to 2.5 drop on the rear....

you need to join first on cressida.net and wait....but its worth it because there is a ton of info on there, thats why i joined.....

front mk2 springs will still give you a gap between the fender and tire....some people got .5 to 1in drop...rear might sit lower because cressida is heavy...just have to put it on and go from there..
