phone pic of mine.

and like the op asked DETAILS.

mine is TEMS shocks, with king springs, i would assume "lows" as they dont sell a super-low for the soarer, but mine could have been reset before i got the car (will have to check part no).

handles quite well, while still soft for cruising or launching, havnt bottomed it out, rolls a bit but thats more to do with stock sway bars than shocks.

Nice one Nat, I reckon a bit of Scratch-X on the headlights and it's perfect! I've been told toothpaste works quite well aswell as it's mildly abrasive

Get good quality coilovers. They are height, spring and damper adjustable. No more worries.

This is what happens when you don't adjust your coilovers to the correct height...

Kidding, check my profile. Lowered on 17" inch rims using Buddy Club adjustable suspension. Just wind the damper down to soft for weekdays and it's fine. Spring rates are 12kg front, 8kg rear but I did tighten the spring load up a bit before installing for a more firm ride as they are meant for a Supra so the barge still rocks a tiny bit being heavier that the Supra.

I have 20s on mine and deciding a good ride height.

With 20" rims, theres only so much you can lower it due to the top guard and rubbing when you turn. There are ways to overcome this with correct rim width/tyre profile combo.

Lowering your car is quite a guessing game unless you have coilovers. My car at the moment is pretty annoying. Driving on the freeway, any change in surface will cause my exhaust to scrape and make sparks. Just a heads-up. I'm looking to raise it a bit, not worth getting holes in my exhaust... again.
