+10000000 for John and adjustableairride.com (with pics!)
After ordering lowering links from them, I ran into a problem during the install. the rear end pretty much bottomed out and completely sunk to the ground! needless to say this scared the S*** out of me!! My first thought was o great I effed up my car messing with the airmatic knowing how fragile they are to begin with. I started thinking about how much it would cost to fix as well.
Before I did anything though I shot John an email. This guy truly stands behinds his product! within 10minutes I received an email back giving me some trouble shooting advice. He didn't make BS excuses or blame me for installing something wrong, he worked with me and the problem was remedied. Turns out the swing arm on the sensor was not pointing up and that caused it to fault. I can't thank John enough for getting back to me so quickly as I was freaking out haha. Anyways I just wanted to let everyone know about the this great product and EVEN better customer Service!!
here are the pics of my drop

That is the definition of slammed. The only thing is you are going to have to watch for bumps and whatnot on the road constantly when you are lowered, but that is the price you pay right?

Wow...that is low...looks impractical to drive?
Tell me more about your Carina..I am an old Toyota guy and love all the old '70s Toyotas (especially the pre '75 RA Celica and the AE86 - of course!).

honestly the only problem so far is that the ride is a bit harsh compared to before.Ooooooo man where do I begin with that car!! it's been under construction for the last 4 years. I found it in horrible shape awhile back and couldn't stand to see it go. I think there is only 1 more person in the bay area that has one besides me. long story short I did a semi-restore, now its going to be my drag project. fully built 3tc/efi conversion/t70 turbo/ford 8.8 rear in a 2100lb car
the biggest hurdle I see now is the tuning as I will be tuning the car myself and it's my first time tuning 
but the goal for my TA12 is 550rwhp and mid 9's. maybe ill start a build thread here hahaahahahahhaha LMAO
thanks!

Alignment?
There isn't going to be any aligning that car. No need to worry tho, as it's going to go through tires so fast, you might as well save the money for them....

you are quite mistaken sir. Ive owned multiple cars that have been even lower than this. Alignment shows only -0.6 in front and -0.7 in the rear camber. that equates to barely noticable if any camber wear that will show on the tires
Just got to know what you're doing when slamming a car THE RIGHT WAY!

camber was not adjusted from what my buddy said. he got the car on the alignment rack and and gave me the printout for camber/toe/caster. that was the results after the drop.
