We explore the one-loop electroweak radiative corrections in the minimal $SU(5)$ and the no-scale flipped $SU(5)$ supergravity models via explicit calculation of vacuum polarization contributions to the $\epsilon_{1,2,3}$ parameters. Experimentally, $\epsilon_{1,2,3}$ are obtained from a global fit to the LEP observables, and $M_W/M_Z$ measurements. We include $q^2$-dependent effects which have been neglected in most previous ``model-independent" analyses of this type. These effects induce a large systematic negative shift on $\epsilon_{1,2,3}$ for light chargino masses ($m_{\chi^\pm_1}\lsim70\GeV$). In agreement with previous general arguments, we find that for increasingly large sparticle masses, the heavy sector of both models rapidly decouples, \ie, the values for $\epsilon_{1,2,3}$ quickly asymptote to the Standard Model values with a {\it light} Higgs ($m_{H_{SM}}\sim100\GeV$). Specifically, at present the $90\%$ CL upper limit on the top-quark mass is $m_t\lsim175\GeV$ in the no-scale flipped $SU(5)$ supergravity model. These bounds can be strengthened for increasing chargino masses in the $50-100\GeV$ interval. In particular, for $m_t\gsim160\GeV$, the Tevatron may be able to probe through gluino($\tilde g$) and squark($\tilde q$) production up to $m_{\tilde g}\approx m_{\tilde q}\approx250\GeV$, exploring at least half of the parameter space in this model.
