hey.......what eibachs do you have...sc300 or supra?
i used the eibachs for the sc300, they seem a little high still, but clearing bumps and dips isn't too hard so its good.

simonsays - i am using magnaflow SS 14289's

and how low is it?
how loud or low? well the exhaust isn't too loud, but it drones around 2200 rpm, and the car has been dropped around an inch but will settle in the few weeks.. and yeah they are 18's staggered.

heres a couple more pics of how low it is right now, but these springs are still new, so it will get lower.

....

- the offset looks perfect ...

like the setup!

yea, i think i learned it the hard way, especially for a daily driver. when it comes down to it for me, it seriously is all about clearing the bumps and dips. lol

back on my old car the drivers side was very scratched up so i just used some black sticker material and put it on with soap and water....squegeed out the bubbles...trimmed with a razor and it looked pretty darn good...it would be the same way witht he CF sticker...just a CF look instead of black
