    hi

    im in the process of reducing weight and eventually want to lower the ride height by about an inch. i want to make a healthy amount of horsepower and want to make her look unique.

    does anyone know if any other vehicles have similar suspension to ours?

    there absolutely no lowering kits online and im tempted to just cut springs but i also want to do it right. i also want a smaller tire profile. im going to stay a 16” (i think) and try to play around with tire fitment. i want her to look clean. i want to put a magnuson supercharger on it. the 3vz’s cams fit in the 5vz and bump the power and a little higher, at the expense of low end torque (im sure the supercharger will offset that). i know these engines weren’t made for power and it could get pricey but i would be doing most of the work myself.

    many suggestions on tires and wheels?

    if anyone could share any thoughts or information, it would mean a lot. (im also wanting to be kind of a guinea pig.)

    thank you
