i think you need some more camber in the rear, that pull is rough

car looks great i'm looking for the same ride i have an AE86 as my project/toy...but if i had an unlimited bank i'd turbocharge a 1uzfe...but i'm poor so wheels and springs and decent audio will do for now to get away from my bumpy ae86 ride lol

Car looks great after the drop.

Thanks for sharing wheel specs.

Imo, the UCF20/21 look just right with 20's,

so 2 days ago we drooped the spring in the rear to get a lil more tuck and even out the car. i was feeling like it was "raked". so now the tire is tucking and the car is level. no rubbing issue still so i think im going good lol

Those pics don't really do it justice. It's alot lower than it looks lol. I would go lower but with the 20's I won't be able to turn. It's a battle already lol

Love the car. I have the same exact one. 99 - same color inside and out. I'm just not sure what it is with the obsession to lower the car. Is it a West Coast thing? The car barely clears large speed bumps with 4 adults as it is. I want to put nicer rims on mine at some point but I really doubt I will lower it at all.
