too low or just right?

what kind of springs are you on senna?

[Senna27]

Eibach springs, Koni shocks, Turbo front bar & Dinan rear bar!

[72BMW2002TII]

is it the pro kit? And how stiff do they get while turning? aswell as daily driving?

Not sure exactly what you mean by the pro kit! Besides the urethane bushings I installed this summer all the other suspension work was chosen by myself and installed in 1986.

Not sure about now but back then but as I recall there was only set of Eibach springs and one set of Koni shocks available for 2002's. The front shocks are adjustable for stiffness. Simply open the hood and turn the screws located at the top of the shocks. You can go from pretty mushy to rock hard.

There's way more choices available now as far as spring and shock combo's go. I went with the Koni's because the fronts were adjustable and never wear out!

I've got 195/50/15 Bridgestone S-03's which have very stiff sidewalls (and amazing in the rain) but all in all I'm very pleased with the setup I've cobbled together for my daily driver.

Kinda makes me want to go for a drive today but she's all put away for the winter!

I've seen several that have been lowered and some look OK. Mostly the Colorados. I personally favor a higher profile. How does this handle/ride when its set this low?

[TobyB]

you'll bottom your front shocks and the rears, too.

And gawd help ya if ya bottom a rear in a hard corner...

Unless you shorten both, and then life is good.

My street car sits almost that low, and eventually I'm going to hoof it back up 3/4"- frankly, I need the ground clearance!

heh heh

I think it looks sweet! But I am a young (23) hoon... if the ride height is comfortable, you can get in your driveway and havent scraped on anything you normally come across on your standard drive, I would leave it!

someone in the bay area has a mint malaga roundie thats slammed. i have seen it twice at palo alto and its as low as ive seen. looks great to me and i wish i could get mine that low. i spoke to him briefly (forgot his name) and in the back he had cut springs but i forgot what he had up front. i like your stance

[TMK-001]

BTW, what are the wheels?

[cowlum]

More free parts

They are just some generic toyota mag from the mid 90s i think. The offset is not quite right and requires a spacer in the front.

Ive seen them on many corollas here in NZ.

They are good for now but I do intend to find somthing thats really period.

[TMK-001]

Do they foul? I think they look great!

[cowlum]

It rides very well. The springs and shocks were designed for heavier cars so its pretty stiff, i have no worrys about bottoming out.

[MOESPEED2002]

IMHO, These cars look soooo sweet low. I would either lower the front, if possible, or raise the rear. Other than that great job.

Dont forget that second shot is under accell. I think it looks spot on!
