Default finally dropped it

here is the first pic i took since i got the alignment. i dropped it with some espelir springs i got off ebay. matched them up with the eibach shocks and i got a much tighter ride. plus, since it was getting close to spring, i threw the 17s back on.

i threw in a pic of the before and after drop so people can see what a drop does...didn't find too many side by side photos before.

Looks good man. Do the springs have to settle a bit (did you get them brand new)? And you sure those were eibach shocks??

I know that if the springs are brand new, you will have a bit of settling to do... at least mine did- if you dont mind me asking, how much were they?

eibach shocks? what was that fool thinking.

i got tokico shocks...i guess since i see eibach/tokico together so much i just threw in the first word i thought of...went out last night and that ride was rough. i think it was a combo of new struts and the lower profile tires. guess i just got used to the 55 profile snow tires...

not a bad drop. hope it settles bout another half inch. i just put on my tanabe pro ss for the supra tt today. does anyone here know how low the tiens can go? because the tanabe's seems to only let me get about, now i'm guessing here since i got a kit, 2 to 3 inches off the ground, and thats the lowest. the ride is great though, i can set it to soft, and it feels like stock. ;] or turn it to hard, but damn, it feels like i'm geting motion sickness.
