Don't know where to post this but was woundering if we could compose a list of how low certain suspention set ups make Aristos
Mine looks to have some kind of generic shocks and lowering springs, 310mm from wheel center to the top of the gaurd.

What does everyone else have?

brand new TIEN super street coilovers mate....

unfortunately when you have a big set up under the bonnet, you cant be rolling around showing it off.

plus 3.5" pipe underneath is fkn hard to tuck up.

ground clearance measurements on coilies is a bit redundant isnt it?
You just wind them to whatever you want..

Fitment is still important though!

I don't mind the look of those Supra rims, what are the widths of those?

Bengy I can go about another foot an a half lower on the tiens mate...

Like said tho, as it sits in the first pic I have to raise it another 20mm to be close to legal

fk that it looks like shit as it is lol

I'm even thinkin about gettin a set of staggered 19's and 20's just so I can actually be happy with the way it looks...
