Beautiful car!

I wish I could do the same to my SC400. However, between saving the front lip spoiler and coilovers, I opted for the first.

I would say that it is a 2.5" drop in front and about a 2" drop in the back. *In theory* the coilovers will let me drop it about another 2 inches, but that would be beyond the limits of the dampers and I have a feeling I wouldn't be able to turn because the wheels would be tucked about an inch

Glad you guys like it. Up next is Supra TT brakes and an auto TT torsen diff

I have to get everything just right so the car will be ready to support the 2JZ-GTE

the front of everyones 92+ sc has a nice clean front with no holes or anything my SC had one of those plastic liscence plate brackets and it was broken so i took it off and now i have 4 holes and 2 dents in my bumper it looks so bad. your SC looks real sleek and clean keep it up.
