nice cars guys, LOLthxkbye your car used to be almost exactly like mine haha, dope. Love the steering wheel
To those that are dumped, i know some of you cut holes in the engine bay for more clearance, less UCA slamming into the fender. Are there any other solutions besides raising the car? I'm not as low as some of you but the UCA hitting the fenders sucks! I'm used to dumping hondas and not slamming UCAs.

^^^^Thats exactly what I did on my GS400, however now my uca ball joints clear but now my control arms are hitting inside the fender well.
I am selling my tein flexs to order a set of VIP Coilovers that just came out in Japan. My Flexs have a spring rate of 16K up front and i think 12 or 14K in the rear. The New Vip Coilover Setup will have a stiff spring rate of 24K up front and 22k in the rears.
Heres a quick pic of the stance that Im at.

i can agree vipnewb, i am on 12k 8k with like 15mm preload and 3/4 hard damping. when i first put the 12/8 in it was soft as hell. if i wanted to run just 'snug spring' type preload and higher rates, i reckon i would need 16-20 front and the same rear. my rear really sits down and thats without passengers!
Toyos really seem to lever with the way the suspension is designed... the stance is sweet on the white GS but the wheels look a bit too big to me..

i used to tuck rear..but couldnt drive ANYWHERE in cali..id like to drive my car everyday..so i raised it a lil bit..i was more on the lines of resting rim
but i was like this for a lil while
then i raised it to a reasonable drive height
ofcourse its all in the rear..cant do it to the front with coils..u can only go so low before u say "i cant take it anymore!!"
