Lowest Car Options

[trdproven]

I was planning on getting my coilover kit, full kit. and I was wondering who has the lowest drop. More particularly with an SS-III kit on. Anyone? I wonder because our cars seem to all slant lower towards the front, making the rear look like its tippy toeing.

[GotToyota]

Most coilovers will have adjustable height, and most can even get to the point where your whole body is scrapping the ground.

Any of the popular makes (D2, K-Sport, Megan, NEX, Tanabe) will be able to do this.

that can easily be solved, drive with mre patrol in the tank and more people(Fat?) in the back this with help

[purplegt4]

you've seen my it was even all around. but, now i have the front slight bit higher to clear speed-bumps. the back is still lower and no problems. it looks good too. love the adjustable coilovers.

[bloodrain]

I really wish I could lower my car, however in south florida the roads are HORRIBLE. Pot holes and speed bumpbs everywhere

same here but I just deal with it. I got a little more meat on my wheels to cope as well.

[Razgriz]

sounds like AIRBAGS FTW!!

[tim86]

i would def say go with some nice adjustable coilovers and then you can drop the car as low as possible... I loved bein able to raise the celi a little with the new ksports, now I actually have clearance for speedbumps

travel is suprisingly sweet .. but it all depends on the settings you set at the top of the struts

[an02]

lol's heres a quick photoshop job of your car .. hope ya dont mind



i think this would look really clean

[808celica]

thanks man. i dont mind i think i would go lower than that, maybe like covering half of the tire that would be sick.

yo trdproven throw some pics up of your car and maybe i could p/s it

[Tigawoods]

lets just say its not gunna be a comfortable ride! haha but u will look good

[808celica]

lets just say its not gunna be a comfortable ride! haha but u will look good

i could care less about the ride comfort if a girl wants to ride with me in a comfortable car i'll just borrow my dads gs450h when he gets it

[trdproven]

AN02, yours looks slammed on your sig.

[Cuts_the_Pilot]

mine would have to be one of the lowest i reckon.

when sitting on flat ground there is about 10-12mm of tyre (around half an inch for you people ) up under the guard.





in my opinion its too low, when my shocks arrive in a couple of weeks ill be re setting the springs about 20mm longer (well it will only be 15mm higher because i made some strut cushion tops to raise it 5mm ). Its on king ultra lows now, and suspension travel isnt sufficient for some of the driving i do .

thats is probably one of the cleanest most nicest 6gc on this forum. mad props

[GotToyota]

That car is ridiculously low! I thought my 1.5" all around was low. Can't wait to get a set of Tenzo R springs which are 1.8".

[trdproven]

1.8's won't make a big different compared to your 1.5, that is only a .3 different. , you'll see it at first for the first few seconds, then be disappointed. Get at least over a 2" drop for looks.

[Rusty]

then bigger wheels to full the guards and sideskirts to make it appear lower

[808celica]

[mkernz22]

so how much of a drop is that...

[Tigawoods]

i dont really like how the back looks with that drop. maybe it is because of the camber

[sunwukongg]

lol im getting camber bolts soon for the rear, gonna raise the rear a little and drop the front a little too. then i gotta get an alignment

[block]

holy snitz! that's hella low lol. now it looks like a low rida

with nice wider rims and about 2" drop, your car would be dope my asian brother.

DSRT-FX, he no longer visits. our setup is similar except for the fact i have different rims and the wing.

[azian_advanced]

[bizzerk]

Does anyone know what size DSRT-FX wheels are?

[jordisonjr]

Look like 17's max, but I could be wrong.

[Lil-Joe101]

[bizzerk]

yeah i thought it looked like 17's I just wanted another set of eyes to see whether it looked like it or not. The wheel gap seems to be around 17.. Dang thats a steeeeeeep ass drop haha inspiration car for me indeed.

trust me even with my 18's i constantly hit the bottom of the control arm plus everything looks lower on a white car

well.........just got tagged by a cop for fraudulent reconstruction. Meaning car has been modded too much and will not pass allowed regulations approved by the State of Hawaii

now to get it legal.................so enjoy the pics cuz the car will probably never be set like that again : P

Damn, that looks sick, now i now im getting megan racing coilovers!, right now im on newpoint sleeves on stock blown struts...this is how low i am currently, i could go lower, but my struts will bottom out over every little crack on the road,

[Box]

Have the Tein 1.5" drop myself. More than enough, considering Alabama back roads are hard enough on the 3.6" ground clearance as it is. I can't imagine being another 1" lower, around here anyway. Would like to go up to 16" rims though, 14" just looks way too small. Very nice cars you guys have.

We have pothole season here in Rochester. Lmao. I sell so much fix a flat around this time of year because the potholes are HUGE!

[Box]

Between potholes, uneven pavement, just crappy roads in general, dirt/gravel for roads, and that most residential areas decide they need speed-bumps... Everyone else drives lifted trucks, doesn't affect them so I guess they don't care enough to complain to their local government.

[WhipCreamCelica]

Thanks!!!! Where can I find one?

[jordisonjr]

Search everywhere.
As far as I know they're very rare, thats why not many members have them.

[808celica]
