suspension question

Thanks for the info Nate!!!! After looking at your car you may be right 18s may be the way to go. I like the look of sidewall not all rim and no tire. As far as $ goes!!!! I have a house, 1st child on the way and all of the responsibilities of an adult. So $1k for suspension is not going to happen. My struts are fine. I was just thinking about springs. All that I can seem to find are 1.5 front and 1 rear. I like the looks of your car and I would be fine with that stance. I am unsure if 1.5 front and 1 rear will give me close to the stance of your car. Any other pictures or sugestions would be appreciated.

Thanks da soup

ive heard the eibbach give about a 2" drop...need to check on that. but if you are gonna change the springs might wanna change the struts too, unless they are already new

I put eibachs on my 89t with the stock struts, handled better and looked better. I think it was a little bit lower than my current setup(tien flex coilovers). I really like the adjustability I have now though. I can make it as aggressive as the eibachs or as smooth as stock. I also had 17's on that car. Unfortunately I only have one picture of it and its on my other computer that took a dump on me the other day... The supra tt wheels look great though, also look into tsw, they have some nice wheels 8.5 wide and 9.5 wide for the wheels. Thruxtons look excellent IMO. good luck
