Tein Flex Coilovers

At this height I can pull into driveways without ripping my 3" downpipe or exhaust off. I do want it lower in the front.

hmmm the tire gap looks great but i dunno about the height off the ground... how bout a pic from the front ?? either way its still an improvement

I need all the ground clearance I can get dude. I have a turbo back 3" exhaust, and I don't know if you've ever seen that on a supra before but it is like literally 1.5" from the road at all times right now. And I'm talking about the downpipe and test pipe being that low, the muffler is actually the highest part of my exhaust. I still have 2.5" to drop in the front and 1.5" in the back if I had the undercarrage clearance. Trust me, it is low as hell, getting out of the car is a totally different experience, like "whoa the ground is right there!".

I adjusted the backs perfect, but the fronts are being a bitch. When I lower one side the other side lowers by about 10% of the distance the side I actually lowered. Its a confusing mess, my buddy warned me of the hassles with a totally adjustable race suspension, but I don't care its fun taking my wheels off about 30 times each.

And as far as how they ride, well that depends on which setting of the 16 settings you select for the stiffness. I have it on the 8th click right in the middle on all of them and it is rough as hell but tight, can't even push the car down by hand.

I'd suggest waiting a few days before you lower it any more. The springs in coil overs settle less than conventional springs, but they do still settle a bit. Then when you're trying to figure out how much you need to adjust a specific side, have someone who weighs about as much as you do sit in the driver's seat.

Looks good!

why is you dp and test pipe so low? is it a custom job or brand of exhaust? anyways didnt mean any harm

[IHateHacks]

It's ok dude. They are name brand parts Titanmotorspots dp and testpipe, its just how it bolts on. Any 3" downpipe will be low to the ground.

I just lowered the front some more, another 1/4" and now the exhaust scrapes rocks when I pull in my driveway. It sucks, I want it lower too. I also noticed that when you lower one corner, the opposite corner actually raises along with the opposite side lowering its a confusing mess. But I managed to get the front dead even but now the rears are off by 1/8" from rear right to rear left. I spent 3 hours today adjusting the ride height and then I just gave up.

The real test will be if I can pull into my work driveway without scraping.
