Default Coilover Advice / "What's this bumer?"

Hey err'one.

Just got myself a late model 1J manual soarer with the aim to slam it to the ****house. First, are Tein Flex coils able to go mad low enough?

Also in this picture (this is my desired low) is this a late model bumper with a lip - that's what I'm thinking - or an aftermarket bumper. If it's just a lip, WHAT IS IT AND WHERE DO I GET ONE?



Cheers,

Idk the answer to your first question because I haven't owned a set of flexes. The front bumper is a 97-00 oem bumper with either a big win lip or a big win replica. The authentic big win lips are fiberglass... Not a good idea if your planning to go waaayyy low. A good replica is rideskinz fujin lip, it's a polyurethane lip and can be had directly off rideskinz website or if you search fujin on eBay, its there too.

PBM has good coilovers, along with Stance, & BC coilovers. I have JIC's on my car currently and love the way they ride...I can lower my car an inch more in the front and almost two inches in the rear on 19's but I want 18's to go even lower. How low you sit will depend on tire size as well keep that in mind

I would go with all the above name brands, I have Ksports they actually go really low and I have 18s and probably go 1 inch lower up front. Only thing spring rates suck, but the ride is pretty smooth.

Pbm coils I can literally put my frame on the ground plus the spring rates and ride quality are great.

Good luck

Thanks for the advice everyone...

One more quick question though,
What suspension parts are interchangeable with the Supra? As far as I know, coilovers are, but what about camber arms/toe rods? If they are interchangeable, it would make searching for parts easier.

Control arms, toe rods, differential, struts, shocks, front strut bar...pretty much everything
