When you install them on your car, make sure to post a lot of pictures or quality and installation because I don't mind getting ARZ's kit for a few bucks more over the EBay kit since I know it is proven and have seen the quality in it.

No, getting them off wasn't bad at all. A couple of the bolts just spun; but, a set of vice-grips took quick care of that! :)

I know...I know... I've been slow going... It's just CRAZY over here! Kids in sports...work...work...work...wife...kids...wife...wife...wife...!! :biglaugh:

Good to hear. Mine were not so easy.

I totally understand that. My winter has been really crazy and hence I have neglected my car when I should be working on it. :( Didn't know you had more than 1 kid.

Ok. Got a lot done today. Here's the soup sitting on the new coilovers. As much as I like it this low, it's just too low. She'll be coming up about an inch or so...

Not the best pics I know; but, this was the best I could do since she isn't back together yet.

Since my dad has decided to by my 89, we started the motor swap. Here's the 7M Power Plant coming out of the 87. It will be going in to the 89 after we freshen up the gaskets and such...

We then pushed the 87 out of the garage and the 89 in...

Wow, it is really low. Its cool looking but i can understand that its not very functional for every day use. I want to slam my car low like that but theres no way I could get away with that with these crappy southeast texas roads.

It does look cool; but, there's no way my shine lip will survive at that height. The plan is to be as low as possible with zero rub! :)

Thanks. I'm glad my dad bought it from me because I would've hated to part it out.

Those are the three pictured. I have a red one with the 2JZ I was talking about and the one for my 1JZ, an 88 blue hardtop, is a not pictured. That is five total.

Middle Supra in that picture has a hole in the roof, previous owner tried to install a sunroof. I bought the car with Tein Flex and A1 Arms for a grand.

The 2JZ I was asking you about Mike is for the white Supra all the way in the back, that is a 91 Targa top. White with blue interior.

I sold the red on in that picture for a very shiny penny. Five digits, so that is where my funds come from plus part time work and it helps to have a shop, but customers come first, reason why my build is going a little slow.

Looks good Ken. I love how low it is. It really looks aggressive. But, I know from my own experience that it is not practical. I scrape my exhaust a lot. I agree with you raising it a little. It will still look great.
