Default 1st gen es250 lowering support

i bought my 1991 es250 about a yr and a half ago, and the very first thing i did to it was replace the suspension because it was blown. the after market coils i bought were a lil too short and my axel would slip out even while the shocks were max height. i took it to a local shop to get a longer axel fabricated but that was like $2000. anyway, it all works fine now but after a while of ownership it MUST go lower and i dont wanna go thru fabrication hassle again so i need other solutions; like another car i can use an axel from. anyone else go thru anything similar?
any other owners at all?
honestly even unrelated help abt part sourcing or like groups of owners would be sweet cos i cannot find any support for these and everything i do to it is a shot in the dark lol


before coils

after coils, lowered it overall abt an inch and a half i think, still have like 5 inches of threads to go down


ive been staring at it and thought about squatting it like a truck lmao but thats kinda stupid, just a way i can avoid ****ing w the front end again

also unrelated to the lowering stuff but i also need a better alternator for it, when i first got it before molesting it would struggle if i had ac maxed, cruise on, and my brights. and then being the genius i am i put two 12 inch subs running 800rms in there and it hates it lol, ive had the alternator rebuilt 2x but id like a more permanent solution

thnx

For lowering look into Celica kits although I think you're going to regret it in the long term you'll get the lowering bug out of your system and be left with a car that is compromised. My 2 cents.
