Default Decent Coilovers...?

Hey guys, I just bought a 1997 SC300 and was wondering what coilovers are good for a decent price. Another question is how do i get negative camber for "Stance"? Im new to this and still trying to grasp the concept hahaha. Im trying to get pretty low and have a flush look. Thanks. (This is the look im trying to achieve)

stance and flush look doesn't come from coilovers.. coilovers will only allow you to lower the car which increases camber all around generally as the controls arms swing up.

you will need adjustable control arms and wheel spacers or properly spaced wheels to get the look above.

if you are just trying to go low then cxracing or megan are the cheapest way to go in the 650 range, 1000$ range are things like BC racing. for going low the cheap ones will work fine.

Are any kind of adjustable control arms and wheel spacer fine? If not, where is a good place to look to get some? Thanks.

any wheel spacers that fit your bolt pattern (stock is 5x114.3) will work. but you cant just go and 'buy spacers', you need to figure out how much spacing you need for your wheel/tire combo.

control arms you just need adjustable ones, research what others are buying i'm not into the stance/slammed scene so stock arms are fine for me.

it sounds like you need to hang out and read up some more, you are probably in over your head based on your questions.. enjoy the car stock for a little and you will appreciate the mods more later.

PS. also use the search function, there are many similar threads in existence already for you to gather ideas from.
