Yeah I'm waiting for someone on cs to tell me what stock mk2 ride height is. Ive seen anywhere from 25-26" so far, which means I am 1-2" lowered. That's a big gap in specs though, I'd like to narrow it done a little.

:sarcasm:

I just went out and measured and I'm at 23 3/4" all the way around.
Running Cusco Zero-1's (FOR SALE!!!!) and stock sawblades with 225/50/16 tires.

PS: Tires are going to play a factor here Boris. Say if you had a 35 instead of a 50 on a stock sawblade. The 35 is gonna make the car sit lower. As well as wheels play a factor. If you have 18" wheels that means that they are gonna be 2" higher on the bottom as well as 2" higher up top versus the stock 16", giving you a higher ride height.

That's what I'm talkin' about, but really the overall tire height. Wheel size makes no difference.

I'm not understanding why wheel size doesn't make a difference. If you have an 18" wheel versus a 16" why are they going to be the same height overall? The spring is not going to compress more if you run 18's therefore you will be higher than if running a 16. Think donks.

Switching from an 16 to an 18 will actually only raise the car an inch if the tire profile is kept the same.

That's what I'm saying. The "lowest" supra is relative to what size wheel AND what size tire profile you have.

I dunno how it is different than yours. It's been a while since I installed them. So I don't know how much thread is left over. Next time I go outside, I'll take a peak. I wish I could help though. Here is a pic when I first put them on and it was lower with room to go even lower.

Yup for lowest I mean how close the body is to the floor. So over all tire size is no difference. so... if you want to be lower go get smaller tires if you want lol.
