Ha, so I finally done did it. Was as easy as I thought, but took longer than expected.


MR2 Tokico Illuminas... not a bad way to spend a couple hundred.


Cut right through the stock spring perch. Measuring for the next cut.


Cut down and ready to be welded. Compared next to the original height.


Mmmmm... arc welder.


Excellent fit!!


Add in some ultra strong DOM tubing for strengthening, and a spring perch(sleeve perch... haha)


Finished vs Stock


Don't be jealous...

In that pic it's resting on the inner fender liner, so I might be able to go lower if I cut it and move the fender liner up more. Just a quick pic I took at 3am... I will try the rear 8's on the front tmr and get some better pics. I will definitely be able to go lower if I didn't have the MK1 camber plates on the front... but then my camber would uber mega jacked... haha...

I need to do the rears.

LOL... lowest?? Maybe. I took out the fender liners to mod them up. I also rolled the fenders, kinda went a bit crazy with it... not sure if I like it, I miss being Herra Frush... but I like being Slammy McSlammerson better, I don't miss all that rubbing though... ha. I put the rear 8's(205/55's) back on, DAMN look at that clearance.


Less clearance than a $100 bill.


Miles and miles of smiles.


Rims spinnin'... girlies grinnin'


Seriously.

I raised it bout half an inch (12mm mates) because I tried backing out the drive, and I got mega stuck. Friend had to push me back up.

hahaha f*#kn sick!!!!!!

4FS mate... get on the right side of the road, :o the left side which is right... right :beer

Are the guards rolled enough, or do you need a wider widey???
And what about exhaust...?

Roads must be smoother in the good old USofA

that's so slammed haha, loving the gold on the rims. not quite digging the butchered guards (fenders) though :?

Yeah... I found some new fenders, besides the spares I have.

I'm considering cutting the flared out part...

LOL... or put chrome trim on...

should turn it into a DONK imo :pimp

looks like the front fenders only modded because of using 'rear' wheels up front ?
So 'front' 7s or 8s won't rub then ?
Are those illuminas for the SW20 2nd gen MR2... front or rear inserts ?
What coilovers ?
How does it ride ?
Looks way cool to me

Yep, only way for me to drive that low is to have modded fenders, even with a 7" +18 offset wheel. I "overmodded" them on accident with a fancy fender roller... steeringwheel wasn't locked and it "flared" a small portion... so I had to continue. Such a shame. I've got new fenders lined up to do it right.

SW20 rear inserts part number BZ3126 with Starion KYB gland nuts (M50 x 1.5mm) Coilovers are MK1 (Mookeh) units, discontinued. Unsure of the spring rate, but they're a tad on the soft side which is excellent for daily driving.

Body roll is pretty non existent as the struts are set to max (5). I haven't tried them on any other settings... I don't think I need to. Most roads are fairly taken care of here in Oregon... but there are the crappy ones, and you can definitely tell.

My wife likes the ride... so... that must mean they're golden. LOL... she also calls my car "cute"... she knows I hate that.

And the rims are bronze!!

Those pics are fricken awesome! BRONZE rims spinning, sunset reflecting off car, miles of road ahead !! Someone sure like playin with the cam as well as the Staz!
