haha sounds like the ride height you were at with cut springs is close to what my megans are at now. my rears are as low as they can go (still not low enough IMHO), and the fronts are a tad lower than that. i need to put 2x4's under the front wheels to get a jack under that car :biglaugh:

from the pics you posted a lil lower after the springs settle ought to be nice. i cant imagine how terrible of a ride the car had with cut springs i drove on old stock springs with blown struts before and i can only guess at how much worse the cut springs were.

I agree with you on the ride being good too. except for when the weather is good my supra is my DD. i love how a nice set of stiff coilovers feels, only downside being the lack of ground clearnace :)

I don't mind low, but with the cut springs I couldn't really drive over anything without scraping bottom. With the new exhaust on, I have no interest in being that low.

That turned out awesome, beautiful car for a weekend's worth of work. I would be driving the wheels off of that thing now.

I must say the polished saw blades looked pretty cool though!:biglaugh:

I would being driving it right now, but I am having a bit of an electrical problem. In the midst of installing the radiator and fans, I took out the switch which was used to turn them on and off (simply a switch in the cabin). When I took out the switch, I must have taken out a wire that ran from the fuse box to the ignition by accident (not a stock wire). The owner before me must have had an aftermarket alarm because the ignition wires have been spliced into. It appears that there is no power going to the starter, but I am not 100% sure. Anyone have any great ideas?

I was going to use toyo's thread to back my way into it, but if anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it. I should have paid a little more attention before taking out that wire. :nono:

-Glad you like the polished blades, but they will probably collect dust since this car will never come out during the winter.
