No problem my friend.

Tanabes will lower it 1.8 and a lil more because it will settle.. Eibachs only lower 1.25 and it is not worth the drop in my opinion if your going with 20's..

I would go with Tanabe's..

PM Carson Toyota, aka " SUPRATRD" and see how much they are. There is always tirerack.com.

Hey LexAristo man-How are the Tein CS's ride holding up? I love the ride height and fender gap (minimal) you have now. I might just have to go that route now also! Here is how my Vogtlands look after a couple thousand miles:


Another related thought to anyone getting springs/struts,coils, etc. should consider getting the Aristo front strutbar. All by itself, it tightens the front handling, particularly the steering response/turning. Would you guys w/ bars agree?


Great thread by the way!

Very nice Leo!

The ride is great and very comfy even on 3 setting (1 is the stiffest - 16 which is the softest). You may want to consider some spacers for your car so that it will be more flush with the fender as well as giving it a more aggressive stance. Speaking of strut bar I need to get those 14mm washers.. Were they 14 or 13mm? hehe

To be honest the strut bar only gives the car about 15% more stability, but it's a mod that makes the car look damn good.

YaYA-Yeah, take your time on wheels/tires...they have the largest impact on your car after your engine.

Bryan-What spacers are you talking about? I have hubcentrics going now, will spacers effect that? Also, 15% stability in the front handling is noticeable for these "luxury cars" (I think).

Does your friend happen to be the one selling those body kits on ebay? That same car is always pictured.

What kit is that and is it a copy? I actually like the kit minus the wing becauseit reminds me of the cap I wore during highschool graduation. It is unique and I admire him for adding it, but not my cup of tea.

Whoa! That is his car pictured on ebay but he is not selling the kits (I emailed him on that). I don't know much about the kit. I will try to get him to chime in here. His car looks pretty cool when its rolling though! Sorta VIP?

Here is another couple angles next to my (dirty) car. I just drove in from those mountains in the picture to meet him! Very dusty there.
