Well you all kind of know where my car was at until a couple days ago. I had a blown passenger side front shock so I bought some Tokico Illumina 5 way adjustable shock inserts for the rear of a second gen MR2. They are shorter than the stock ones by quite a bit and the stock replacement tokico blues that I had were even too short for the housings (see the spacers on the bottom of the blue ones?).
So I cut off the stock spring perch and cut a 62mm section out of the middle of the shock housing, then welded it back together, adding a steel ring around the body to serve as a base for the sleeve coil over.
So the car has a static (almost) 2.5" drop if the springs stayed where they are. It allows the car to be slammed and still have suspension travel, which might be what killed my old shocks. That or the scores from trying to hold the shaft with a pliers (like an idiot).
Anyway, I'll get these on the car tomorrow and see how low it can go. My plans for the car right now are re-do the exhaust so it doesn't sag, install an idle control motor so any dummy can drive it like it was a normal car, install the good torque tube I have for it, tune up the brakes, and for asthetics, get new front tires that match the rears better. Another muffler might be in the works also. So I will take some more pictures when those things happen, but for now the new shocks should be awesome, and the ability to lower the car another 3" from where it's at will require some camber plates and hopefully some roll center adjusters.
