On a note about the suspension, if you are serious about 'dropping' the car for looks, try a coilover system rather than just drop springs.

what do you recomend i have been looking at the APEX WORLD SPORT DAMPER SYSTEM

I wish I could get the apexi suspension.

It's one big pile of #@%#@%#@%#@% so who cares anymore...

It really depends on your goals. They way I look at it there is the cheap suspension coilovers and the serious suspension upgrades. To me the best of the cheap coilover systems is the Ground Control's with Koni's for 2G's and Ground Control's with AGX for 1G's.

There is a huge price jump after the GC/Koni combo. I mean the difference is $1000-$1200 for new GC/Koni's versus $2000+ for a Apexi or Tein or JIC system. And even those aren't completely to my liking.

If you want to go super nuts, its not hard to spend $2000 A CORNER on really good sh!t.

Right now I am on GC/Koni combo and I am decently happy with it. It's 'good enough' for me right now. Hell I won the Race Tire Unlimited class at the SO on these things. I am researching my next upgrade and I am leaning towards the JIC's or the Tein's but I haven't made up my mind yet.

$2000 + for Tein? I found the SS coil overs for $950. Granted they arent top of the line full race but they do work well..

Yup. They may work well but they aren't the specific Tein's I am talking about. The ones you run are in the GC group. Coilovers are just a bunch of perches with springs, for the most part. It's the shock that's worth it's weight in gold.

OK...

Big update, EVERYTHINGS done.........and this MFer's AWESOME.

Recap....my friend and I installed H&R race springs, Koni's, and SP camber kits front and back.
At first, had some problems.
1st was tires were to big for the drop,
2nd the A arm hit fenders,
3rd back tires hit inner fenders seam and
lastly I lost my Supra SMIC on a 1" ledge in a parking lot ( back to the tiny little stock smic).
So I got new tires in front ( for now ).
Took it to get alignment ( not everyone can do 18" rims, lesson learned) and my camber was PERFECT ( got lucky when we installed ), but the toe on the front tires was out 4 degrees, aweful.
But, now it's done and it rides really great. My A arms don't hit anymore either and I rolled my rear fenders. This is not as easy as everyone makes it sound, I had to beat the hell out of that little seam to make it roll over, but now it's fine and doesn't hit anymore.
I took it out for a drive and it doesn't bounce anymore then my friends H&R sport drop. I've waited a long time to get it drop and I'm so happy with this setup, it's tight as hell and it's AWESOME.
I can't wait to run threw some twisties with some supposedly big dogs.
