How low can I go?....I went LOW!
Well I put my suspension in today. Took about 4.5 hours with 3.5 hours being working on the front end. Supra TT shocks and Supra TT vogtland springs. Man is the ride night and day. So much more responsive not very harsh at all. I'm happy.

There's a point when you overextend the suspension and it ends up being worse than stock at handling. (responsiveness will be better but overall handling will be trash). You my friend, are pushing that limit.

in regards to what OLT said, it's true about the roll geometry. the control arms get bowlegged and that throws the suspension all off in terms of handling. A good way to fix this is to get some Ikeyas like I did which would compensate and maintain a proper control arm geometry. But yea, if you're already used to driving low, then it's not that bad. If you've seen my car in person or in pics, then you know I was low, but I went lower after the ikeyas.
Other than that, I'd say lower isn't necessarily better unless you're just going for looks. If you're going for looks,
. If you're going for handling... work on the suspension geometry.

it is a 1.7" drop all the way around. It's the aero that makes it look like its sitting on the ground. The stock 16's make it look super low as well. I purchased some staggered 18" Sportmax 006's that will raise it up a bit. Oh and there is no fender gap all the way around. I had to roll and minorly pull the rear infact because of my 1.5" spacers
