I would check the rates the springs are vs what the factory rates are then go from there.

We used that same brand when we lowered my brothers merc before he sold it (Lowered ones seem to sell like hotcakes)

They were actually not that bad

Bonus is that j/uzz30 soarer and jza80 supra stz will interchange with jzs161 if you come across that gear instead.

I'm not so sure about that.
Rear of jzs161 is very different looking to 147 and jza80/jzz30 etc

Springs may well fit, but rear shocks are a very different animal

Supra suspension gear will not go in a JZS161. There are a completely different car.
I've already asked about that, as I was eyeing up some gear.

My Aristo has TRD springs and they're really good.

Yeah better to get a price on TRD or Tein S-Tech as they will really ride well :) Im using Eibach which came factory with the TTE susp.......supple but a tad too soft in the rear. Would like to fit harder rears sometime :)

TRD or TEIN springs with Bilstein shocks are the winning combo IMO.

I want to get some Bilstein shocks for mine..... one day
