We're driving together because Jager's 7 is unbearably loud. What do you have left to do on your car? It's almost spring man time to pull it out!

On my old car, JIC coilovers, I think 2" lower all around.

I have no clue what springs my TII has on it, they're brown and the car rides LOOOWWW and fairly stiff. Tough to get it up the driveway, and I can't get a jack under the front bumper.

I can't get enough of the motegi's. Maybe it's because the color of the car. I don't know, but I like them.....I will get your rims/tires.

No i dont, its called a targa roof, think Supra, Delslow (actually thats what the latches are from), and Corvette. Only on teh uber 7. And yes welcome to last year. JK

I know my car has to be lowered at least an inch on the Tokico hardware, b/c my black '91 sits significantly higher. At any rate i think the height is alright, another half or full inch would be a little sleeker.

There's nothing wrong with cutting springs, end of story. Read a decent book on the subject and you'll find it's a recommended option for those on a budget.

You need stiffer shocks to go with the increased spring rate, that's why the car is so bouncy when you only cut the springs.
