I imagine you could clip the springs a little to lower it. I'm not gonna do that to mine however...

The problem with just clipping the springs is that the rear suspension isn't straight up and down, and when the springs compress, the wheel actually tilt in. If you clip the springs, you will get the same effect and your rear wheels might look a little akward.

lol i was thinkin about this mod the other day. if u could take out the springs and replace them with some device that would expand and then contract while staying in the suspension slot, it would be like mini hydrolics. of course this would be a show mod and u wouldnt be able to race it anymore. im not even sure if the device would even be effective, but if it was then it would be a pretty sweet mod.

Heres a pic of cut springs on my supra. Handling was a bit stiffer, but I had hardly any travel in the suspension at all. BTW, this was with 2 or 3 coils cut out of the stock springs:
Looks good, but I prefer the aftermarket springs over cutting

Thanks guys!
No, those are the wheels from the wheel upgrade kit, they come just as they are. The only thing different about them is the aluminum locknuts I ordered from Tower Hobbies.
