Hi

I just got my nice new Braid Interlagos rims fitted to my jap tt. ?They are 18*10 rear & 18*9 front with 265/35 & 235/40 tyres fitted respectively.

They look the dogs balls ?http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

The thing is that I now want to lower the car slightly as I'm not happy with the way it sits. ?The std shocks seem to be in good condition & the ride is quite firm in std trim.

I was wanting to know the general opinion on whether the tein street racer coil overs or just putting on a set of eibach springs would be the better option?

Also, has anyone got any photos of a supra on 18's with either of these options fitted?

Many thanks,

Jamesy

?900 was a bit richfor me after buying the rims http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/down.gif thanks anyhow.

Got a really good price on the tein street racer kit though...

I have just fitted HKS hypermax2. For the local "dug up by someone every farts end roads" around here its very good. Traction is miles better, nose tucks in nicely, and easy to adjust. I am well pleased. Might be worth a try if you dont get worked out with something else?
