Default My SC400 after suspension/wheels

Here's my 95 sc400 after swapping to supra TT springs and Koni yellow shocks set at the lower perch mount. Also I finally put on my 17" GS400 wheels.
I think i could use a little offset so they dont looked so sunken but im not sure how much i should go, i dont want to rub or roll the fenders.
FYI, the supra suspension is a little lower stock, the koni lower perch mounts are even lower, more in the front than the back, which is good because theres already more gap in the front. I think extra drop on the koni lower perch is maybe .75 inch front and .5 inch rear, but not sure.

I am very impressed with the koni shocks, great balance of comfort/handling, firm but never harsh. The handling is exponentially better.





Opinions, suggestions, questions welcome!

also, not sure how to get bigger pics without linking to an outside website...

it looks much better than stock.

i think you meant to say sunken in and not tucked. some 20mm spacers would be nice. i know, i need some for my SC as well

looks good. I see you need to black housing your high beams, I have the same thing going on.
