Looks nice Steve.
Are they Supra Bilsteins or Soarer? What springs?

Ali after trying all settings on height controller this gives the best ride and saves the air bags from damage. |

Damn that looks tough. Got the stance just right. Seeing my Bilsteins rebuilt/valved with new spring rates is something I definitely need to look into. |

No point in posting pics with out letting us know what the set up is. This site can be king for people posting pics of setups of differant things with lack of information about what it is. This is where the Americans are awesome. They document everything.
This list should consist of, shock/springs or Coilover brand model. Also the diameter width and offsets of the rims and the tire specs as this all effects the appearance. Just asking for pictures isn't going to help much.
Copy and paste this.
SHOCKS:
SPRINGS:
WHEEL DIAMETER:
WHEEL WIDTH:
WHEEL OFFSET:
WHEEL MAKE AND MODEL:
TYRE WIDTH:
TYRE PROFILE:
WHAT BRAKES DO YOU RUN:
GUARD MODIFICATION OR OTHER MODS TO FIT?:
Don't mean to sound like a nazi just trying to get more useful information.
Soarer central needs something like this:
http://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-400-300/290699-official-wheel-and-tire-fitment-guide-for-sc300-sc 400-11.html
But a lot of the information does not apply to us as a lot of the suppliers for the parts are based in America. |

well i thought about it a lot and the best thing on a soarer was a 97+ kit + BIGWIN lip on the from. but because the lip costs 600USD and the 97 kit 1500+ AUD, i think i might opt for the AC kit with a delete of the horizontal bar in the middle or black that thing out. |

bit steep hey. I may get an Ac kit so at least we could split shipping to WA if your keen. But all I really need is a front bar.
Dude msg me i got a soarer badge you can have it man.
PS: Keep your mum away from your soarer. My mum has done something stupid to all my cars. |
