Your shocks and or springs could be worn out. It is an 18 year old car so it is bound to have blown suspension.

True , but it's just a bit odd since that place doesn't sell anything else to do with stand-alone systems.......

Im thinking Blisten struts and shocks with custom coilovers from JIC or one of the other major brands. I know of a person who has done it so I think I am going to follow along plus the spring rates I can get are insane.

mine does the same thing. But I don't plan on changing it anytime soon because I can get off the line like it's glued to the road. My back end will bottom out after shifting into second at full throttle. That shouldn't damage anything more should it. Also my front barely goes down at all

That's called
weight transfer and it's something every drag racer needs. That's one reason these high powered Supra's can't get off the line........suspension is too stiff , no weight transfer.

That's caused by weak springs , too.

on the Tokico rear shocks do I need a conversion kit to make them fit since I have the adjustable factory shocks
