Hey guys,
just wanted to post a couple before and after pics of my setup.
So far, I've only been in town enough to finish the front springs and shocks.

Suspension setup I used is the Eibach Pro kit for the lexus, and kyb's (non adjustables). Total right height change wasjust a hair over 1". I'll take more pics of the car when I finish the back this weekend. Also, let you know how the feel of the car changes.
Enjoy!
Chris

OOOOOHhhh Ouch,

I had those KYB's and they rode like a JACK HAMMER.

Maybe yours are a newer version than mine 5 months ago....I hope so. I switched back to a new set of stock struts for $200 and much happier.

reminds me of what my lex looked like before i got rims

AzLex

1inch does not lot look low enough. Another inch and a half and i would look perfect.

Very Sharp Wayne! Gold looks so classy.
What rims did you decide to go with?

AzLex, I think it could be a bit lower as well. However, I didn't want to sacrifice ride quality. To each their own I guess.

Are the Blitz's?

Nope. Paradyne's. A no name brand that i thing looks really nice IMO

quikturbo

I'd agree wayne. I think they look great!

let them break in for a month or so and it will get a bit lower..

AzLex

How big is the lip on those wheels? It looks very nice.

I remember reading that some people have taken stock TT springs/shocks and put them in their sc... does anyone know information on what happens? The ride is suppose to be more sporty, do you know if there are any height differences? Thanks

Wayne, thanks!! That is what my car will look like once my springs and struts go in (hopefully this weekend!). I have the same Supra wheels and same color car, except I have the Eibach Supra NA Prokits and Tokico Supra TT struts, which will drop my car about half an inch more than that. So far from your pic, the future looks very bright for me!!

Phoenix88, stock Supra springs require stock Supra shocks (at least in the rear) because of differing perch heights on the strut. I think that set up drops the entire car one-inch.
