Pic Request: TCs on SSR Professor
Hey everyone,
Just like the title reads, I'm looking for pics of TCs running SSR Professors. Preferrably 18s. Please also share/provide as much setup info as possible.
Yes, I'm aware of HKSpeed's setup and have seen numerous pics of his car - visually, it's my ideal wheel/suspension setup. Fortunately, he shared his setup info with me. Unfortunately, its not what I'm looking for in terms of everyday drivability. I would just like to see if there are others running similar (slightly less agressive) setups.
I've gone through all the "Post your TC with aftermarket rims/wheels" and "Post your lowered TC" posts and did not find what I was looking for. Hopefully, someone out there has pictures that are rarely posted.
Sorry for the long read. Thanks in advance!

And I quote HKSpeed:
Trust me, I would like nothing more than to just take his exact setup and duplicate it on my car. However, I still need a fairly reliable car that I can use everyday. IMO, I think this means that it should ride comfortably (not on some Maybach-type comfort but not an "angle-for-every-dip-in-the-road" ride either) and be capable of seating 4 (rare but still happens).
My setup now consists of the stock 17s on TRD springs and I'm content with it. I know that there will be some trade-off in drivability and comfort if I upgrade but I would like to make every attempt to give away as little of that as possible.
My initial post was a little vague, hope this clears things up and makes my end goal more clear. So, any pics/suggestions?
the ride is bumpy, noisy, and i rub alot. i cant have any rear passengers since it'll make the rubbing worse. i'd like to go lower, but i'll rub even more. i had to roll the rear fenders to fit the wheels. despite the negatives, i like the look.

his set up is pretty close to mine, i have had 4 adults in my Tc.......as long as your not running some super slammed springs you should be ok.
his set/ my set up is very reliable for daily driving, very comfortable, and a good solid ride.....nothing harsh, nothing too soft. i think with the TRD drop your fine......just add some nice18" rims with 225/40 tires and your good, that is what most people run, very reliable.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm actually kind of relieved to know that I can still bite (yes, I'm considering some un-originality here) the look without sacrificing ride comfort.
HKSpeed - thanks for the pics. They were nice but still don't cut it for me. The only one that came close was the Ptuning that was sitting on 19s.
