Default Supra Bilstein ANd Supra Eibach Pro Kit Drop

Heres some quick pics of the Supra Bilstein ANd Supra Eibach Pro Kit Drop. I had to roll the front fenders. The rears are ok for now. Ride is a little bumpy as expected but handling improved. BTW I got the wheels like this. I dont go around driving on the curb lol/.









Front Wheel


Rear Wheel

That is THE PERFECT drop just enough drop so that the top of the tires are almost flush with the fenders That's exactly what I've been looking for. "Supra Bilstein And Supra Eibach Pro Kit Drop" So this is blistien shocks with eibach springs? Your tires aren't any taller than stock are they?

I like it This is on my to buy list

I think it will look pretty decent with the 19's. What do you mean by hipped?

By hipped I just mean that the rear wheel wells look flared out a bit, you can tell by the reflection on the paint that there is a definite 'hip' over the rear wheels. I was wondering if you had to do that as well to make the suspension not rub your tires on the body.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. Regarding the rear wheel wells, I did nothing to them. I will eventually have to roll them if I want the wheels flush.Sorry about the pic size, I didnt think that pics from a iphone would be this freaking huge. U are right about the brakes though. My search for the supra rear calipers is over so I will just buy somehting basic for now, but I definatley want to try the ls400 conversion upfront.

Like I said man, I got the wheels like that lol
