See what I mean about the gaps....I think that part of the reason for the smaller gaps in the rear is that I have my brake package in my trunk (4 rotors aint light!), but another factor may be that they are just getting really worn out and sagging a little on their own. What do you guys think?
I think I want to go with the Supra NA springs/shocks, to get a 1.5" drop in the front, and 1" in the rear. What do you all think?

If you want it to look right wth the kit then you have to get 19's at a minimum, DON'T HALF STEP. Putting 17's on an SC is a complete waste of time and effort. Why step up a mere inch in rim size? What's the point of that? It will make no difference at all in terms of bettering the appearance of the car, in fact it will detract from the appearance if you have a body kit and some small rims. I saw someone with a body kit with 18 inch rims and I thought it looked weird, and you're considering going smaller than that?! Like I said man, you will regret that move if you go through with it....

Wondering how you guys think the JIC kit would look on an SC300 with only 17" wheels on it. I didnt want to go to big on the wheels to keep tire costs down and keep my ride comfort. I dont know if I want to go with the JIC kit, do a 97+ front end conversion, or just keep the body stock. I plan on lowering the car after I get the wheels on and can determine how much of a drop I want...
Would a body kit look wierd or would I be alright with my wheel size?
