Banpei's new TA60 family cruiser

[banpei]

After a week of looking for ways for lowering, I found the following options:
1. Make AE86 lowering springs set fit the TA60
2. Dobinsons coil springs (from Australia) are available for the Celica RA60 (with live-axle), lowering about 3 to 4 cm
3. Some homemade coil-over setup from AE86 parts
4. T3 coil-over set for Celica RA60/RA64 (from the US)

I have a set of Apex springs for the AE86 and I can make them fit if I can find the right top mounts hats (KE25) for my struts. The problem is to find those top mounts hats.
The Dobinsons coil springs are probably the next cheapest option for about 400 euros (excluding shipping & import duties), but they only drop the car a little bit.
The homemade coil-over setup using (secondhand) AE86 parts and some mix-and-match will probably set me back a similar amount of money as the Dobinson springs, but I need someone to do the cutting and welding for me.
The complete T3 coil-over set for the RA60/RA64 will most likely fit, but it will cost about 1500 euros excluding shipping & import duties.

I think I'll first try the Apex lowering springs on the rear and see how much they drop compared to the Carina springs. This could be a good indication how to proceed from here.
