Supra Koni yellow, Supra Intrax. Please note, the spring cups in the rear have been flipped to raise the car til i can roll the fenders and change tires to rubber bands.

Eibach springs (supra TT)
KYB Struts (Supra TT)
The springs and struts were already mounted together, so I installed them myself. I think the front was lowered about 1.8", and the rear was lowered about 1.5". The front doesnt even have a 1 finger gap, and you could barely stick a finger in rear wheel gap.
Only paid $300 for this... from a CL member
The ride is stiffer, but definately not bouncy at all. It handles much better than it did with stock suspension. Overall, I have no complaints.

i'm currently running espilar active super down drop springs and tociko blue shocks. set up ran me like $350 or so...
the drop is very nice... but i think the back of my car is still kinda high... the fronts are slammed tho. surprisingly, i have no pics.

I currently have a 92 first gen LS400. I am running the Tokico Blues with the H&R springs. Overall drop was about 1". Couldn't go too low, live in MD and all roads are not very good. Stance look is very subtle. Actually can hardly tell that car was dropped at all. Do have a small rubbing problem at top of wells over large bumps, however I think it is due to larger tire profile in size 16 (225/60/16)<Turanza LSH. Thinking of scrapping suspension and going to coilover setup, haven't made up mind yet. Just ordered EXXE LDR rims in size 18 and am not looking to go below 40 profile< Ilike rubber on road and no dents in rim>. Car as of now is stock, except what I described above and tint windows. Gathering materials to do makeover in summer. I paid 300 for shocks alone and 295 for springs. Still need to couple setup with all new bushings.
