Is There A Way To Raise A Strut/Spring Setup On My SC?
I just had Supra TT OEM struts and brand new Falken Supra TT lowering springs put on my SC and the car dropped so low that the wheels tuck into the fenders now. It's basically slammed now and it's a little bit lower than my friend's coilover setups. While the car looks great, I can barely get out of my driveway without scraping it. Is there a spacer that can safely raise the car slightly?

Do the Eibachs have pretty low mileage one them? The Falkens have 130 miles on them. Can you post a few pics of your car too? I've never seen it outside of your signature.
I wanted to wait until Wednesday to post pics, but I don't have a choice right now....

I think your car looks great like that. As for my Eibachs, I think they have less than 500 miles on them, but dont know for sure cause I havent kept track of it, but I did get them new. as for pics I only have one fairly recent one, and its not too great:
This is 2 days after the shocks/springs were installed, but were not fully settled yet:

Thanks! I love the way my car looks but I hate my driveway. Your car looks pretty sweet. I thought my car was going to come out like yours since I had 18"s, but it's even lower than I anticipated. I was hoping it would come out closer to yours. I'll think about trading. I'll need to roll my fenders first and I'll see how it turns out. Do you have any trouble with rubbing, uneven tire wear, or daily driving?

Thanks to you too..as for rubbing/wear/DD issues, none. Tires wear very evenly in the back, very smooth but very responsive ride, haven't rubbed once. But before a trade is a agreed on, might want to check to see if there is a difference in perch height on the shocks. Im on KYB AGX TT shocks, and I think they may sit a bit lower than the oem TT shocks.

what exactly are you rubbing on? like gsteg said, blisiono rolled his car, but rubbing isn't really eliminated because it's hitting the frame up front above the tire. I didn't think isx50 wheels would be flush enough for there to be fender problems.
Another thing is with spring/strut combos, they compress so much when you hit a bump, the body just comes crashing down on the tires, so get stiffer springs, spring spacers, or just suck it up and accept that rubbing will now be a daily occurrence. i don't think I have a friend who's car doesn't rub every once or twice a mile.
