Default Pic Request: Lowered/Slammed on 19's

Looking for some SC's slammed on 19's, preferably with no sideskirts or rear lip. But anything on 19's will do!
Found this SC while browsing the forums. Owner is TheKevin, although I haven't had any luck getting in touch with him.

Exactly the look I'm going for, just wondering how to get this low on 19's...

Start with the Wheel and Tire fitment "sticky" thread.... Lots of reading but you will soon get a feel for what is involved.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...300-sc400.html

I am on 19s with a body kit but not slammed (by design).

To get to the vehicle you have pictured above requires several choices from suspension mods, wheel/off set choices, fender mods (rolls and pulls) and rerouting the wire harness in the left front wheel well, along with a very skilled alignment shop. Among other choices....

Picture of where I got to; no rubbing or turning problems, no fender mods, straight forward alignment settings. Good luck on your project.

I apologize, I should have been a little more specific with my original post...

I realize coilovers, I am riding on Tein Super Streets right now, slammed on stock gs300 wheels. I have a set of 19x9, 19x10 AME AX Shallens that I want to run. I know I need smaller tires and will need to roll fenders and am fine with that, I have all the necessary tools. What I can't understand is how that SC is riding so low when the front fenders both have a piece of metal at the top of the wheel well which are already biting through my fatty tires on the gs300 stocks. I guess I could just cut it out somehow, and reweld...

But I'm really more interested in pics, I can figure out the fitment tomorrow.

Relocate your harness and hammer the part that hangs down flat. If you want to go even lower, cut it off. This has been covered.

Relocated the harness, attempted to hammer the piece down, but it's three separate sheets of metal that just won't bend. Again, I will figure this part out, more interested in pictures

I've looked through quite a few of the posts, but I really can't fathom looking through every single page when the majority of the posts are dead links. Plus, I can't always distinguish wheel sizes from the pictures. Just trying to see if I can get more specific and better results this way.

Not exactly slammed due to terrible roads and steep driveway. 18/19.

I suggest getting a kit if you ride on 19s or you will be high off the ground.

Old drive height when I was tucking wheels and I'm on air suspension.
