Matt, how did you get the rear wheels straighten up? Is it because you have a camber kit or did something to the alignment? Eversince I put on the JIC coilovers, my rear camber looks terrible. My GS is currently riding on stock Supra TT wheels. I need to put new tires on my 19" Volks Racing SF Challenge but too lazy. The reason I delaying it because I want to see what I need to do so I can adjust my rear so it won't wear the tires with camber problem. I like how your rear are line up with the front. Oh secondly, I wish we did that exchange back then. Bad timing I guessed because I really like the Tein CS. The JIC is too rough for daily driving, even at the lowest setting for damping. Beside that, I like how it handle though.
I didn't do anything to the rears, just a simple alignment. The fronts I got adj. control arms so the fronts are corrected, but he rears actually stick in about an 1-2" more then the fronts. I'd like to get to the bottom of this RCA thing and see if I can find some. Maybe it's just the right height, wheel width, and offset that are making yours look more cambered. Just for reference my rear wheels sizes are 19x9.5 +38.
As far as the coilovers, I still have them, and for sale too. I was going to wash them and put them in the classifieds here pretty soon so shoot me a pm if you're interested and we can talk some more.

Took the wheels off to do some things so I figured I'd get a picture of the new coils/UCA
and the 1/8" lower ride height. Also need to make a license plate bracket

Would it work considering the Japanese plate bolt holes are further apart? I was just thinking about making a simple one. I have access to a MIG so it shouldn't be anything more then a hour project while I have some beer right?

Finally got pictures of the new wheels. 19x9.5 +18 19x10.5 +18 Rays Victrix Graicys. Having issues getting the front driver side coilover to adjust so I haven't been able to stance it correctly yet. Had it apart 2 weekends in a row and no luck yet. Need to move the upper ball joint in a little/camber more (mostly the fronts) and lower it more. Wheel's aren't in the greatest condition but I threw them on just for the summer (the few WEEKS we've had in the NW) and I'll refinish them differently over winter.

New-to-me used Nardi wheel. Using temporarily while I send an OE Aristo wheel to american stitches to get redone. Just got promoted at work and a nice raise followed so I look forward to alot of changes over winter. Wheels get refinished in 3/4 weeks. Also have Aristo tails with the all white turn signals/chrome trime and 1 piece, all chrome grill with the thicker upper bar. trunk lip spoiler is here and Im waiting for my friend to paint it and shave the rear emblems. Also ordering another identical aristo grill and having it painted black. wheel refinish, exhaust, and indash are the next priorities. Original motor is at 224,500 miles right now and Im thinking maybe its time to finally go GTE. debating whether to tackle a paint job before motor swap or vice versa
I've been real busy for a while and havent made it on here much, but I've had these sitting in the garage for over a year now and never posted for sale. PM me if interested. Tein CS version 2
