maybe it's the angle...looks like the photographer is really low to the ground and 'looking' upward. i think maybe detailing the undercarriage may help.
B/c you probably got the TRD race type springs. There are two different TRD springs, ones that are very low and ones that are very high like the HIBACHS. I think from those angles, the car actually should look lower. I know mine does when I take pics from on the ground like that.

Nice! Very Nice!!! So, when are you taking it to the Dragon? I'll be back in about 3-4 weeks... I might have a 75' celica here soon, and that's very old school!


I'll bring my "New lawn-mower" if you bring your "New ditch-digger" hahaha!!!

I'm just going cheap for a while until I buy my big farm with a big barn, so I can buy more MR2s.

Let's do it. We're going to have a barn party whenever we find a place. Of couse, Asiana is a good alternative.

Don't suspensions settle a bit over time? Maybe it just looks a little high because it's so new.

Just a combination of the angle, light and eibachs. Here are some pictures from the autox Saturday. Whupped up on nearly every car there, most of them being 911s.
