Was 4×4? 8


goinglower

This is pretty crazy.  I tried putting the tires contact with the ground in the same place.  I don’t think my car was particularly high before, but it’s much lower now.  The rear spring is only half an inch shorter, and the front coilover got wound down about the same (8 turns).  Still… most of it came from the new 22″ tires versus almost 24″ tall tires.  195/60 is silly.

Front splitter went from 6″ above ground to just under 4 inches.

    needs more low… JK ;p

    I’m kinda torn between 14″ and 15″.. 195/45/15 on 8J looks sooo good but is ftl without power to break traction 🙁 solution.. crazy entry speed

    195/50/14 supra SPT’s on the front and 185/55/14 old winters on the back was the most fun i’ve ever had drifting. Q, the new ride height looks awesome btw

    195/50 Supra SPTs? Must be discontinued.

    A lot of baseball bat work happened in the rear. Fits pretty tight and gets full travel, but there is gap which ruins my cred.

    Crazy entry speed? But you need power to find that…

    For street and fun I think I’ll be happy with 185’s. I’ve got some 15×7 +20’s in Japan that should tuck 205/50 slicks for challenging S2000 through cones.

    Looks rad!
    Ever since your motor land mikawa post, I have been thinking of federals.
    Recognized the tread pattern on the front tires, and well, if they are good enough for Masaharu.
    Can I ask where you ordered them from? I was gona ask Kyle from specR for a price.
    But I have bigger fish to fry, tires for 86 can wait.

    I got mine from DirectBuyTires. http://www.directbuytire.com

    They’re surprisingly hard to find. Kyle can get them for a good price (about as good as Direct Buy once UPS sticks it’s brown foot up your ass), but he was telling me I had to wait until May. I wanted to get it all taken care of so looked elsewhere.

    Damn ups!
    Thanks, I found em on Tires easy. But sometimes a listing dosn’t actually mean they carry them.
    I’ll probably get some from Kyle, but……mango
