Default Finally got some pics with new wheels and tires on the SC300

This is going to be my next long term project. GTE swap, singled, standalone, 6spd conversion looking to make about 950WHP and mid 9sec passes in the future.
Just got the 5 Zigen FN01R-C in gloss black with machined lips and tires put on today. Currently sitting on Buddy Club Race Spec coilovers. I could probably lower it abit more after seeing the pics.

thanks everyone
eye level the car sits good
from below like the shots its kind of high
i can probably go like a finger or two lower though heehhe
rear sits in abit due to offset but I am gonna spacer them out with
a custom 8mm made spacer 60.1ID to a 72.62OD all in the spacer
car is a 95 with 97+ up front and sides
i am gonna probably finish it up and do the rear bumper and quarter panels
then get the 92-96 flush spoiler with no 3rd brake light
really loving this car only wish it had my old Supra motor in it though...
