Default New 18s" on my "now" Lowered Car

Opitions? I like it! I think they will settle a bit, so it may get lower.
hmmm, looking at my own pictures just made me realize that they put the back wheels on the wrong side... lol...gotta get that fixed tomorrow.

Update: Tire rotation fixed

I am COMPLETELY happy and thrilled with how my car looks and drives! No sagging on either side and no spring noise (I did the rubber hose trick)... I WILL NOT lower the car anymore than it is. I love the 97+ body and this is now a reason to keep my car for another year or so!

System:
SC300 Eibach Prokit. (1" drop)
TOKICO HP Shocks/Struts
18" 8.5f 35mm and 9.5r 35mm RUFF Wheels

Man what a difference!

And that just a one inch drop, or are the struts/springs for a tt supra?

Looks good, anyways.

I'd have to say it looks perfect just like that (for my tastes)
........now Im REALLY excited to get my 278's

The Distribution center is in Florida...and they have no power.
looks like a few more weeks.

Your car turned out lookin VERY NICE
....the color of your car in contrast with the gray centers is awesome looking.

That looks juuust right. After doing any lowering...don't forget to get the alignment/camber checked.
I'm kinda partial to Eibachs myself

Oh, and tips look good too.
