Hi all !

First of all, I'll present myself.

My name is Benoit, I'm 24 years old

Since 3 years I drive Camrys and now, I just got my first Solara.. I really like it

I'm talking on toyotanation.com and camryman.org since a couple of years now.. so maybe some of you already know me.

As you can see in my signature, there is the history of my past vehicles

And here are the pictures of my new baby.. I got it 2 days ago

'99 Red Solara SE V6, 5 speeds

Oh, and how many Megapixels is your camera cuz your pictures are nice.

It's a Nikon Coolpix 5700 (5MP)
On the second pict, I used the Nikon Wide Angle lens made for the camera

I still have it

But I'm swapping the mods to the solara

Then, I give it to Ben-RR for the turbo setup.. the car will be used as a drag car

Yesterday I did the front coil springs (trd coil springs), it fits perfectly.. with a better drop than the solara ones. The wheel gap is about 1 finger instead of ~3.5

Here is a face-to-face of the two cars

I will never forget that

I'm preparing for this event since a lot of month

With the Camry in the hands of Ben-RR, the turbo development will be way faster

Hey mox,

1 finger gap with trd springs. Are those stock wheels and if so, what size wheels and tires? I've got an 04 Solara with about a 2 1/2 to 3 finger gap, rollin on dubs with 245/35/20 and if I have like 4 adults in my ride, I have to be careful on pumps or sharp turns cus it rubs. Have you had a chance to haul peeps in your ride after the drop? I'm real interested to know if you're experiencing any rubbing.

This is mainly the reason why I have not dropped my ride with TRD or Eibach's lowering springs. Also, can you give me a rating on the ride? 1-10, 10 being the smoothest ride of course, versus stock.

Thanks,
Michael
