Lol thanks, Cheela. The car was the dirtiest that I ever let it get in that picture and that picture was taken minutes after it was lowered. I only had it lowered 2 months and I never took it on any photoshoots, so that is literally the only picture I have of it when it was lowered. Just so you know, on Sportlines, the roofline of a Celica is lower than that of a 350Z. That doesn't mean anything at all, but it just makes the Celica look a little bit lower when you're parked next to a Z.
Presure's car, SwissFerdi's car, _Jim_, lagos, and several others, are lowered 1.5" on Sportlines as well. It's a very common drop. Pictures of it are all over the place. I cite Presure's car because he has 17" rims filling the wheel gap and you can easily see his drop in his sig. If you're looking to get rid of the wheel gap yet still have a comfortable ride and not worry about scraping, the Sportlines are a great way to go. Other springs will get you lower, but will sacrifice ride quality. Edit: mikew04's car. His pictures are better than mine. ![]()
