    7th and 8th gen Suspension pic thread.

    In addition to the thread that details all the information regarding different lowering springs manufacturers, i think it would be a great idea for people to post pictures of their cars ( preferably profile/side pictures ) so that anyone inluding myself can see the different options of lowering springs as well as a visual end result for the future buyer.

    For example:

    TrdCorolla 7th gen corolla with KYB Gr-2s and Tein Stechs.


    --->> Insert picture(s) here.



    and so on so forth.


    So if anyone wants to start please be post a picture of your car and detailed suspension info.

    Thanks

    quick pic of mine. Its not exactly the same at the moment, some of you might know that the car was in a accident and had some frame damage. The front end looks 90% of what it does like stock since the headlights and corner lights dont allign up perfectly. Also took the led strip out
    I am on ksport coilovers

    yea i did, its not perfect, well with frame damage, its hard to make it look perfect without shellin out some serious $$$ or havin some real good hookups but ive come to terms with it and am happy with the way it sits right now. Ill take a few updated pics. I did sell my wedsports and am gonna drive this car down to the ground lol

    im sitting on KYB GR2 struts, and Sprint springs..
    sprints give a very aggressive drop, and with the KYB GR2, the ride is stiff as fuk.... since prizms dont have sway bars, with this set up, body roll was greatly reduced.. very happy... just saving up for the cusco zero2, or ksports... not sure yet.

    also im rolling on SSR TE37 15"rims..

    nice stance...

    In my personal opinion, go Cusco or Buddy Club. Ksports don't have very accurate dampening.

    Don't go D2. It's the same as Ksport. Cusco is very precise. And yes, Buddy Club makes full coilovers for the 7/8th gen.
    http://www.rhdjapan.com/buddy-club-junior-spec-coilover-toyota-51672
    You can also group buy for a discount.

    Here's even more. Take your pick. TEIN's are overrated btw.
