~ This is what was recommend to me from a good friend who knows his stuff...
“Bring the rear toe as close to 0 as possible, if not a touch toe’d in. BMW’s squat the rear a ton under acceleration and they go to massive toe out. Front toe looks ok. Since it’s on the street only, I’d take a little...
~ I use to autocross about 25 years ago regularly but haven’t done so since. I also had a secondary wheel and sticky tire set up I would swap for the events.
If you make it to the Columbus area... I’d love to meet up. Always fun to watch!
I also think people fall in love with its looks and make the spontaneous purchase... then soon realize it may not be the most practical car.
Additionally... I think some feel the car is simply a challenge for them to get in and out of.
I love mine with no regrets! The Supra is a daily driver...
Yes mine is lowered .8” front and rear via Eibach Euro Z4 Springs.
Along with Burger Tuning wheel spacers (10mm front & 13mm rear).
Do you all see any issues with my alignment specs? (all seems to be in the preferred green status now).
I would suggest talking with your local bmw dealers service department (a bit higher end option than your average Toyota dealer). They have guys that visit their lots to repair leather or interiors weekly. The professional repair would be around $100 and they can match the color perfectly.

The question I ask myself ... the Supra in stock form already has limited tire traction in first gear... when adding additional power... aren’t the tires spinning even more so?
I’m guessing the most notable gains (putting it to the pavement) are at higher mph (40 mph and up)... unless you’re...
~ Great question.
I feel the stock pads were very dusty after a short period of driving. Something I refuse to deal with on a daily basis.
The reduction in brake dust is indeed apparent with the change of pads. However, I’m on the fence with the comparisons between the Powerstop Z16 and Z26...
~ I do my best to avoid the freeways during the week... way too many construction vehicles and dump trucks carrying rocks (spilling on the roadway with every bump and bridge transition) in our area.
A touch off topic...
With all city spirited driving in sport mode and I get about 200 miles out of a full tank.
I know the tank is kinda small at 13.XX gallons. I didn’t buy the car for great mileage... just wish the tank was larger. Just seems like I fill up often.
Others?
