This should give you a good idea, looks 100000x better than without the spacers!

i believe they are the custom spacers done by tm engineering themselves directly. you can email todd@tmengineering.net about it

the ride is perfect. the car is lowered and i drove it and it was awesome. no vibration no nothing

I have the 25mm H&R spacers from Opt Auto I think, but, TM Engineering is really the go-to-guy, you should get them from him.

Here's a pic for reference.

Adam2562, can you tell me what i need again for the front either spacer or spacer with studs to clear my Supra TT? What does the installation involve? Do the front brakes and rotors have to come off? How easy was the install in the front? I know we had talked about this but i forgot what was needed to do this? I just want to do this the safe way

I beleive you have the Supra brakes also in the front... You can PM me if you want or write back to this thread.... Thanks again

Tony

No its just if and when i go back to stock i really want to leave the supra brakes on there So i figured the spacers or spacers with extenders would be good for the front end to clear the brakes. Thanks

no pull the wheel off and pull the caliper and rotor off then hammer out the original studs and replce it with the new ones.. but u need to force them in place .. i used an extra lug nut and torque it in by using an impact gun... its a job u need a shop for.. unless u have good tools at home.. like an air gun.. or strong portable impact... then put the rotor back on then ur caliper then...then put the spacer on.. ur set... better if u have a lift to lift up the car so ur at eye level with it.. andsorry it was 20mm not 200mm lol

One very important item, if you use an impact to put them in, be sure to use at LEAST 1 washer so the surfaces don't gall up, and also use at the very least some WD40 or something like that.

This is very very important!!!

Yeah rides nice, it has H&R springs and Bilstein Sport shocks, but I think I'm going to change it to some Tein CS's. Just a little bit too stiff for what I want on that car. The tall stock sidewall luckily takes up some of the jolt, I'm sure if I had shorter sidewalled tires it would not be very tolerable.

The van, yeah that's our pickup/delivery shop van! 02 Astro cargo with 20" custom painted L-Sportline Model 4's and 245/275 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's Also lowered a little over 4" - what a pain that suspension was and still in progress!!!

This sounds like the easiest way to do this... The adapter has no studs on it i assume? I have plenty of stud left right now with my 20's on the front end.... Actually more than the rear.. 15mm isn't that big so i should be ok with driving etc?... right Henry..... Hey, thanks for the reply....
