Default Quick Photos--Supra TT springs/ Saleen Wheels

I took a few quick photos today with a crappy point and shoot to send to another member. I thought I would post them up just so you guys can see what stock Supra TT springs with KYB Gas a just shocks looks like with 18x9 +24 Saleen wheels.

Yes, I would like it to be lower but I don't want to roll my fenders. This is just about as low as I can go without rubbing on every bump/ dip.

I want to say the advertised drop from Stock SC springs to stock TT springs is about .5-.75" Not a "slam" by any means but it really tightened up my car and I love the way it rides. When I blow thrugh these tires, I'll get new wheels and them drop it more.

you know what a .5 to a .75 isnt too bad at all.

I have 20's on my car and they say i can go about 1.5 inches or so without a roll but i think a good three quarters of an inch would be fine as well.

I thought about getting chrome but I wanted the hyperblack. Chrome would look good though!

Thanks man! I have spent a pretty penny on making sure this car is up to date on all maintenance.

I really like that drop, Not to much and not to little. I have been looking for some stock Supra TT springs for few weeks now. I can always find the rears but not the fronts. That is the drop I want. As I will be putting a lot of Highway miles on the SC4 so I don't want to go to low.

Very nice very nice indeed. The hunt continues.

Check Supraforums.com if you haven't already. That is where I got mine at with only about 20k miles. IIRC, I only paid $60 for them.

Are you running hub rings, or just lug centric?
