TRD86 - My New Whiteout A/T

Hello all,
I finally picked up new whiteout A/T after more than 4 years long waiting since the concept I & mkII. Car looks stunning in pearl white from any angle in real person. Car have eibach spring install. This car now feel as one of the best handling and steering among all the cars I have ever driven. Few words to say about this affordable sport car for daily drive is "Best steering, handling & balance in class - Great engineering design". I just can't find any better sport car on the market for same price at the moment.






At Longo parking lot for LA 1st tour event on Sunday morning 8/5/2012

List includes all my favorite cars with the most recently driven 05 350Z, 08 335i, 08 M3, 08 ISF, 09 IS350, 10 G37, 10 328i, 11 528i, 11 535i & 13 GS350 Fsport. My thoughts in few words to say about this affordable sport car which is used for my long daily commuting. It's a genius in car engineering !
That's one beautiful looking ride.

Do you mind sharing the details about the springs and how much you had your car lowered. That distance between the tires and the car frame looks perfect. I will appreciate if you can elaborate on this.

Cheers
~Imti

Great drop with the springs. Should look good with better and wider wheels. How much for the springs?

To all, I have the spring installed at eibach as a nice gift . Spring has about 1.5" drop. Car has even better handling and aerodynamic at high speed w/ instant passing and corning at freeway ramps.

Yes. the stock shocks still fit in for the spring. The ride is solid and firmer to the ground. You can do F1 cut passing mood no problem.
