They're not NA specific, and should be beneficial on an SC car as well, though the car may sit a touch lower. Assuming there's an extra 300lb in an SC, compared to Skaughtto's '86 that I am using as a photo model, and maybe 200 of that is over the rear wheels, the front would sit 0.31" lower than Skaughtto's, and the rear would sit 0.35" lower. I kind of doubt there's that big a weight difference, but I like to play it conservative.

For $279 shipped you're getting springs that fit properly, don't rattle or fall out (like my front ST springs do when the car is jacked up), are built to Toyota's high standards of quality, and are tuned by Toyota's own performance arm to work with this particular chassis. I don't know what other drop-in options are readily available, but these are a known commodity, and I think the price is very reasonable.

Excellent questions!

Yes, they will, beautifully. Check post 14 for some links to pics of an '86 on them. I've driven that car on a track, and the handling is simply superb.
