Any reason why you removed the bolt from the back of the rear spring control arm instead of removing the 2 toward the wheel? Most installs I've seen for the Supra - they don't touch that bolt at all.
At 11:22 you can see that there is a different bolt behind the assembly. It’s a special socket needed (six sided bolt, E20). On the initial installation of the white Toyota mk5 supra, i ran into the issue of not having that size socket and had to go on a hunt to find that in order to drop the arm. I figured it would be easier to loosen and remove the alignment bolts and drop the arm from the inside. I also went ahead and made 2-3 Marks indicating its original position. Hopefully this information helps and I do apologize, I didn’t think there would be a whole lot of foot traffic on the channel. So I never followed up to see if there were questions about the installs right away.
I'm installing mine right now and have the same thing going on. My rear bag is also really close to touching the strut and idk if that's normal (car is still on jack stands without suspension loaded or air in tho). Any input @Thatsteez ?
I ran the ignition tap into the 5 amp fuse at the back of the car, the fuse panel that provides an on and off ignition source to the cigarette lighter. The system may stay on for five minutes after the car is off, but should shut off without any issues.

great tutorial! what are the wheel and tire specs for the work wheels?
Thank you!!! That I’m unsure, it’s my buddy’s MK5. I personally ran 18x10 with a 0 offset square
