Lowering 2023 Supra

[squid]

hey guys I have just purchased a 2023 CuLater Grey A91 M/T Supra and I’m looking to lower the car and put some aggressive wheels on. I’m looking at the Rays 57CR’s and wanting to do an aggressive +12 offset AND drop the car more than 2 inches. The problem I’m running into is I don’t know how to calculate the clearance to make sure the calipers will clear and I can’t find coilovers that drop the car more than 2 inches. Can anyone offer help? Thanks

2" is a huge drop for this car. A 1" drop basically gets the car a zero finger gap between the tire and fender. I could be wrong but I don't think you are going to be able to find coilovers for this car that gives you that much. I think your only option to go that low is to put it on bags.

+25 and +35 seems to be the common offsets for wheels for this car for a flush/near flush fitment.

I have 1.5 inch drop right now (not on purpose, working on raising it) and have more than a finger gap. I can drop it even more, probably to 2.25 inch total. I am on MCS coil overs set up with swift main and helper springs, 18 +40 wheels and have a lot of camber. You better have some super stiff springs there if you are gonna drop that much.


Oh and news flash, 2inch drop, super stiff springs, 12 offset wheels…its gonna drive like shit but something tells me your intent is more stance/show than functional.

It makes me so sad to read that these are your intentions for a purpose built two seat track toy

good luck.

My A91 MT on the HKS adjustable, this is prob 1.5 inches give or take from stock.

How do / did you like the HKS adjustable? Are they the Hipermax touring springs? I'm considering them with a 1 - 1.2" drop.

I'm kind of curious about this as well. You are going to sacrifice an awful lot, is it just for looks?

Aesthetics is definitely the main factor for me. From what I have read thus far, the HKS Hipermax Adjustable Touring Springs have pretty good reviews for ride quality. I don't expect them to be the same as stock, but I'm willing to sacrifice a little of the ride quality for a better stance.

Back spacing is a tricky thing to check caliper clearance. The shape of the spoke ultimately determines whether the manufactuer's specified backspacing works with your calipers or not.. my STI has wheels with like 2mm clearance.
