Ok fellas this is the deal? i need to switch from my current sprint springs because when i got the car in dec of 03 there wasn't any kit available so the shop i went to insatlled the spirnt suspension kit for an 03 solara instead of 04. it worked great with my 20's but now i have 22's and the 1.80 inchr ear drop is lil bit too much that it rubs.(front is just perfect) so i need to switch kits ,wihout losing apearance, so i was wondering if i got a 1.70 or 1.6 would make much of a differance. in rubbing and apearance i don't want my solara looking like a donk.... since i'm on 22inch rims staggered fiti already feel higher when driving it?your input would be greatly apreciated thnx... pic's would be appriciated if you have either measurement.

Then put smaller wheel on your CAR. 8) 18's with tein/tokico would be an awesome setup.

Take Milt's advice and just swap out the rears. Also get those rear fender lips rolled or shaved and put a camber kit on it. :up:

Post some pics - would love to see that setup!!

THANKS!!!! for the replies i apreciate it..... i'm going with the trd 1.5 rear drop just to be safe. so i'll let you know how it goes tommorrow! as far as pics i have 1 on cardomian. couldn't get the rest downloaded. and some on dubpages...... check it out tell me what you think. but if you have pic's of the trd spring drop let me check them out.... pixel : does your rear rub because my rim and tire are as big as your together since i 'm running 22x8.5 rear and 235/30/22 nittos i think it's equal to your 18's including your tire in height...right? camber kit done, fenders shaved. what's rubbing is the fender on the lip of the rim since it' tucks completly you can't see tire right now........

Damn - you've gone though a few wheel choices over time, eh?

I think your 22's would look badass on a black ride though... think I'm more fond of the 20's you had previously, but that's just my opinion (and we all know how little THAT is worth!) :lol:

Good luck with the ride! :up:
