The drop looks amazing. How much of a drop in inches did it actually do? I didnt like the Eicbach springs for the front. Wasnt low enough. I have the same shocks also and love them. Thanks for any info.

You need to ADD camber instead of aligning to zero then, if you drive crazy, your tires will wear less.

Almost 2in I'd say. Google the springs to find the exact drop.

Contemplating the same setup, looks good on yours though, still clean as can be.

im going with the espelir/tokico setup...just need to correct the negative camber issue...wondering after my alignment if I should get a camber kit (bushings, etc.) or get lower or upper control arms (for the Supra)...i'd like to do it all at once but not real sure what to do about the camber...should i get a camber kit or control arms, etc.?
