if you wanna lower your solara you dont necessarily have to adapt other parts for other cars onto it
for example im gettin some Ground Control coilovers and im pretty sure they make them for gen1 and gen2 solara

Dude if you want a 2 inch drop my springs made for a solara did that. If your going for 3 in then get coilovers.

thanx!
yes i forgot its a 2000 i actually wanted to make it like VIP style but im not sure..... is anyone here familiar with junction produce, well that style is:
low with rims with camber and tossels
its not like baller style no no its a more clean older style.
I have a really hard time looking for camry solara pics from overseas i seen LS GS SC mark2 and sum other toyota/lexus in VIP style.

i had a aristo gs300 but a older person hit me and the frame was damaged
and so it was taken away.

well gents tell me if thats a good idea or if u know the JP style then let me know so we can share ideas.

thank you again.

Going VIP is gonna be a bit harder to pull of on a car like ours expecially because its a coupe. Heres what you'd probably have to do to achieve that VIP look that you want.

Custom Air Ride (to get that slammed look with the crazy rear camber)
JP Scara Staggered Wheels (Gotta have lip)
Modified Fenders (To fit the staggered wheels)
Fusa

Also the only other cars with suspension parts that could fit the solara is the Camry and the ES300.

Going for that VIP look definitely needs air. Coilovers could possibly pull off the look but the car will be almost impossible to drive being that it's so low.

The rims might fit. It all depends on how agressive the set up is. G'luck with your project.

Whoever said that bit about ground control coilovers...dont do it. You're gonna be driving on the freeway then all of a sudden KAPOW and your car is gonna die and so will you. In other words, if its too cheap to be true its too cheap to be riding on. Get Tein's
