did you buy the Goodridge lines made for the SC, or for the LS?

from my experience, stock SC lines dont quite fit right on the LS calipers...

I used the kit for 93-98 Supra, and they worked out great.

I experimented on a height drop today...Not sure if I want to keep it this way, I scrape my lip way too much and I haven't relocated my wiring harness...

I lasted about 2 months being that low before I had enough.

Ya, I couldn't stand being that low either. I lasted a week. Harness was relocated, but the inner metal fender lining was chewing up my tires in the front on every damn bump. How the hell do the slammed guys do it? smh...looks good...just not functional.

I had rolled fenders and hit that lining on top completely flat. I would rub but it wouldn't do any damage. What did most damage was speed bumps and bumps in the road that would hit my under carriage. That was the main reason I raised it, was to save the tranny or oil pan.

Also, when the sc is that low, it handles like crap. Not functional one bit. I track my car, so I saw a HUGE improvement when I raised my car again.

Can I ask how you flattened the metal lining? I've tried heating it up and hammering it, but it still shreds my tires when I drive. I wish they were more tubbed like 240's

A metal mallet and a lot of elbow grease

I prefer the tubs on my sc rather than my s14 just because I'm able to get more angle before I need to get tubs done.

I got the car over to my local shop and had the power steering pressure hose replaced today. Since they were already in there I had them install my Daizen steering rack bushings, got an alignment and had them steam clean the undercarriage.
