Got my car lowered Friday and put on 18's!!! Wow the car is sooo much more fun to drive now, handles like a dream, not to mention how bad ass it looks!!! I love it!!! Just have to be a little more careful!

Tein springs/Tokico struts
18x7.5 +42 offset ADR S-07R gunmetal
225/40-18 Kumho 711's

I've read here of some people talking negative about ADR wheels but I love them, the quality and finish is excellent!

Enjoy the pics, lemme know what you think!!

Hello fellow MIchigander,

I love the wheels and how low it sits. Do you have the TRD rear sway bar on it too? The rear sway bar will reduce the wavey motion and provide better handling for the Solara at higher speeds. So far so good keep up the great work.

hmm...looks like your springs still need to settle a bit...

but otherwise congrats!!!

No plans to get a TRD body kit. I'm not a fan of body kits plus that will make the car even lower...I would be scraping all over the place around here.

Nope, I don't have the TRD swaybar, just stock. I'm gonna be tapped out on money for a long time but maybe in the future.

Those pics were taken about 5 hours after the install. Hope the springs don't settle too much, I've already scraped the underside lightly twice, LOL.

Damn bro how steep are your driveways or high are the speed bumps over there. . . haha man remind me never to bring my car over there

Nice look. Planning to paint the calipers?

Looks good bro. Keep up the good work! What exhaust do you have?

haha, speedbumps are no problem but yea the slope from the road up to some driveways is a problem, I have to creep over them to avoid scraping, same at that parking garage I took the pics at.

Yea I will probably paint the calipers eventually.

The exhaust is custom piping into 2 Tsudo mufflers.

looks good man, your brakes look as bad as mine did, dam aftermarket rims show the rusty spots! I just painted the area between the back of the rim and then front of the brake, only the rear ones tho, definitly looked a lot better, and the TRD RSB is worth every penny, buy it as soon as possible, you wont be dissapointed!

looks good. it'd be better if you have the kit

Lowered on 18's!!!
