Marty Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Oem skirts and spats with active spolier lip and you're on to a winner Few pics of my mates old car as an example .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Love Monsween's car, I really do. Even though I've done bits & pieces to mine, I'm in agreement with leaving it stock and lowering it a bit. For me the Oem skirts and spats don't do it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm totally confused now! To make matters worse, I bought a complete active spoiler setup a few months ago then had a total change of heart before fitting it and sold it on again! God damn! I think I might just see if I can get that sexy laydee and drape her over the car...masterpiece!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si_s Supe Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Leave it totally alone, put some really nice suspension on it (mine.... ) and enjoy. Front lip only, if you really MUST fiddle with the looks. 99% of "body kits" don't fit properly, make no means of using all the excellent front underbody ducting and flooring, and rub the bottoms of the doors starting rust off. Plus so many look comic book OTT. Chris, I've been meaning to call you for a while now (as you may remember) about suspension for my car but been putting it off until I have the funds as I didn't want you to think I was wasting your time! My car sit stupidly high at the front on the stock Bilsteins and I want to level it out a bit when I lower it. Unfortunately I'm not in the market for coils ears at the moment so just some decent springs that lower a bit more at the front than the rear. Eibachs?? Also, I hear what your saying about the doors rubbing. That was a worry of mine as it looks like the doors rubbed the skirts on whatever they were last fitted to! Being a bit of a perfectionist (fussy bastard) that would annoy the hell out of me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 If you have the yellow Bilsteins on the front I can machine the spring seats to lower the car to whatever height you want, at very modest cost. I'd need either the dampers and springs complete, as they come off the the car, or to save carriage costs, just the dampers if you want to take the springs off. If you can't get a good price on carriage for them complete, and you don't want to remove the springs yourself, I can get them collected for a lot less than you may think. Cheers.

I can get them to and from you very reasonably through work! When you say machine the seats to lower it, do you mean keep the stock springs or machine the seats AND fit lowering springs?? What sort of cost are we talking about then? If there is one thing my car needs more than anything it's lowering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If mine sits too high once the new wheels are on, would the car need to be left with you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I machine the body of the damper itself. You can re use the stock springs. I would need the dampers for one day. Only proviso is the alloy seats can't be corroded beyond release onto the dampers bodies. Josh: If I had a car here it would be possible to do it within a day, but would much rather it were left with me in case anything is seized. Ideally the geo needs resetting, depends how MUCH lower you want it. This can ONLY be done on the yellow Bilsteins. £25 per damper plus return carriage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let you know how it looks once the new wheels are on (may not be until the new year, due to the damage that may occur during winter). Also, they are yellow Bilsteins, yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 All I would say is don't rush things body wise............i was never going to mess with her, but I also think the stock skirts and spats look, looks good with the right after market wheels.........I just realised that for all the Supra's i've had none actually had oem skirts or spats!

Can you only do this on the fronts or rears too? If it can't be done on the rear, perhaps I should fit Eibachs (or another recommended set or springs...Tein?) let them settle then get you to machine the front shocks if I want it lower!?

Si_s Supe Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 When I started this thread, I totally expected everyone to favour the skirts and spats. Although there are plenty of people who, after taking in all the views and opinions, I have made a bit of a U turn and quite fancy keeping the clean stock look of the body! I do however think I'll colour code the plastics as I really think this finishes the car off. I personally think the black plastics (especially on my silver car) just break up the nice lines! Will also help to make it look a little lower! Trust me Scott...I won't rush it! Those skirts have been sat at work for at least 3 months while I've umm'd and argh'd over fitting them! Ha ha.
