I say you should get 15mm spacers front and rear and lift the rear just a hair. Besides that, the drop is excellent.

The rear is factory setting , I went down about 1" of threads in the front. The front was crazy high compared to the back.

I was thinking of moving the 19x9.5 to the front and putting some 19x10.5 on the rear.

Looks good! I like it. I just ordered me a set of BCR's. I cant wait to get them. You have another pair of 19x10.5's??? What do you have up front right now? and what would you do with them if you were to move your rears up to the front?

2 more of the same wheel just a different width. Moving the current rear wheels to the front and putting the new wider wheel on the back. Current staggered set up is 19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 rear. The new set up would be 19x9.5 front, and 19x10.5 rear.

I just need to test fit and see what I would have to do clear the Supra TT brakes on the front.

Default Update Coilover's adjusted

A couple of pics with the coils adjusted to the height I am going to run them.

I also found I need new upper ball joints/ control arms during the coilover install. They were pretty loose. I am going to give the SPC arms a shot. Much cheaper than the OEM and since the ball joints bolt in I should just be able to replace ball joints next time around instead of the whole arms. Or at least that is what I am hoping for.
