how to lower a 2000 solara 4cylinder

[20in2000solaraguy]

I have 20" rims on my 2000 solara. the rear looks great and doesnt need any lowering, but the front needs to be taken down about 2 inchs. What's the best way to do this?

since yr rocking 20's - i don't suppose to you're after performance ( but if you are, feel free to correct me) .. you can get by with ground control coilover SLEEVES with bilstein or tokico struts.

good luck.

damn i never thought of that lol, i dont remember what sleeves do?

[solara90]

you can take a pointy object and stab a hole into the side wall of the tire, and bam your lowered.


But on a serious note, coil overs would be the best option

so what am I looking at here?$400-$700 including labor?

[20in2000solaraguy]

well, so far as boosting my solara performance yes and no. I knoda thought about it many times, but the thing is I got the 4 cylinder version 2.2L, 140HP I think or something like that. I just dont think I can do much with it, thats all. and plz correct me if I'm wrong.

thats the first nice gold one i seen

Yeah, I kinda like it. The drop will be sweet on it. If you can find a set of used COs you can get a decent price, but I don't think you can hit $400 installed. Maybe $700 installed. A new set goes for about $1000-1500. I got my set of Coil on Struts for about $400 used. I also installed them myself.

If you don't really care about performance or anything, just toss some springs on it. I am usually one to recommend coilovers in almost every situation, but I bet your ride quality is already bad enough with wheels that big. A set of Tein lowering springs and some new struts should be exactly what you are looking for. I would be sure to lower both the front and the rear with the same suspension setup- not only is lowering only the front going to look weird, but it is going to mess up the way your car handles as well. Do it right and modify both the front and the rear, that's my two cents. Good luck!

Yes, it is a nice gold one.

I like the wheels a lot; it's nice to see
different wheels than stock on that color.
