should look ok with an inch/inch and a half drop - just make sure you have clearance with your guards ..

As a note - my gt4 was dropped 1.5 inches - on 16's - and looks great - not too overboard - bot to " rice " but tough ..

especially from the back

No idea. But I got quoted $880 or there abouts for coilover conversion kits for my RA40 struts, King springs and boge inserts all fitted and the struts painted or powder coated.

I was going to do it in flash, that would have taken me all of 15 mins. But I realised I don't have Flash... so I had to do it in Java and CSS. That took me a little over an hour and a half.

And as you can see, it's not perfect. When you enter a value, it doesn't come back with the same value. Sad

I haven't got the conversions working perfect yet.

Well I just hope it's apreciated. If it is, I'll create on where you can enter your own graphics in. Smile

Okay, seeming as everyone likes it so much I'm gonna re-do it a little better with the option of having different cars.

I'll do yours first CrUZsida. What height is you're car riding at the moment? Go measure it. Smile

Oh and 114 is still legal.

Heh heh heh. Okay, the new version of the Ride Height Simulator is up. Now it has two cars and works much better.

Okay, enough wasting time, I do actually have work to do.

Anyway, for your entertainment...

Shraka's Ride Height Simulator version 2.0

Next version will (perhaps) be able to adjust front and back springs independently.

Yeah, it has a max height. Otherwise you could just make the car fly off the top of the screen. Very Happy

And Rob, you can just type in a number in there and press "set" if you like, rather than pressing up and down. Smile

Oh, sorry I meant the distance between the ground under the front door (You know, where the car starts). That's how the program is set up to work. To give you some idea of if your car will be legal at those heights. Very Happy

TSR are pretty good, but the trick is getting them to actually DO something for you.

I had my Supra done there for a great price... now that I've been recommending them to people for over a year, I've returne dto get a second car done and they're about as unhelpful as you could imagine.

If you want to get work done by them you'll have to pester them as they never seem to follow up on phone calls/emails as promised.
