hmm, the daylights pix shows the drop much clearer. very nice.
i just realized that even though my height is stock, it looks a lil lower due to the side skirts?
I like the '97 tailight conversion on the gold.
Although I have to disagree with Hermosa because
Black should have '97+
White should have '97+
Gold should have '97+
Red should have '97+
The only color that should have '92-94 should be green

Project, my plan was to take step by step pictures of the spring-strut swap, but I kind of forgot about the camera while we were doing the job.
SC4oo, yep they are Supra NA Eibach Prokits with Supra TT Tokico struts. Keep in mind that Supra struts are required for this setup.

Wow Lex400sc,
That looks better CLEAN.
You didn't even offer to wash my car and Hermosa's car after we drove thru that crap.
Book some time next weekend and we can have a mini-meet and install day at that shop. That was a blast. I wouldn't mind paying the guy to clear off the other lifts.
The step by step will only need about 7 pics...
Step one...wheels off
Step two...unbolt 3 bolt upper strut mounts on all 4 corners. 14mm
Step three..unbolt sway bars are on all four. 14mm
Step four..unbolt strut lower bolts.
Step five..pull the rears out...
Step six...unbolt front lower arms from lower brake pivot.
Step seven...pull fronts struts out...

considering that the shocks and struts would go off and a brand new set installed... would this need to be done at a shop or can it easily be installed in your own garage with simple hand tools?

Sounds good Matt! Call me up if you and Mike are serious about next weekend. Maybe I can buy up some fiberglass, epoxy, MDF, some drop screws, and build a new box for my 12s as well as a quick and dirty amp rack above my gas tank. I'm off to the shop again to make sure we cleaned up the tools alright.

Thats what I thought, but since I've read so many people going to dealers/shops to get it done I just thought there might be something more to it.

sc4oo,
I say you would have a hell of a time on doing this one in the garage without a lift..
Tools you need, socket set, torque wrench, ball joint separator, spring compressor, and enough jack stands to get the car off the ground more than a foot or so.
