Suspension is here! (56k beware)

[Rdizzle]

After waiting for 3 friggin months, i recieved my kyb's and tenzo R springs this evening. I will post pics as soon as my stupid camera charges. Then i have all of friday to install them with the help of the FAQ sticky.

Next week strut bar and floor bar!

[Rdizzle]

Here we go






Tenzo R 2" springs and kyb struts.


And like someone else posted, don't trust Ebay. I got a mismatched set of kyb's.
Does anyone know what the difference is?

Rdizzle,

Floor bar? - Forgive my ignorance but whats that ???

And what gen camry u got again?

[Rdizzle]

A floor bar is just that. A bar that goes on the floor just behind the rear seats to stabalize the pillars. It probably doesn't do tons but every bit helps.

And i have a gen 3.5 5spd coupe.

is it me or is the black one looks blown ???

floor bar does stabilize the car alot ... Especially during hard/high G's corners.... I use on on my echo ...

Thanks for educating me Rdizzle

I will search for availability of a floor bar for my gen2's.

Oh, if anyone knows if a floor bar is available for gen2 sedans please let me know.

floor bars ... you can just get the universal ones on ebay ... they are adjustable ... I mod it alittle to fit my echo and it was originally for a civic...

[Rdizzle]

yeah, just get one of the arospeed ones. They are pretty cheap and easy to install. You may or may not have to cut your carpet.

cool man, can't wait to see it slammed to the ground

and yeah, did the black one not come with the compressor band around it? it does look a bit odd, being the band isn't around it.

[TheWhiteKnight]

Thanks again guys, will get one asap.

[Rdizzle]

I will have to post better pics of it tommorow. It looks weird to me and i don't know whats up... I figure someone here will know something.

[TheWhiteKnight]

I must admit from looking at the pics some more that black strut's piston should be a lot further out than that seeing there is no band around the whole unit. It does look as if it's blown.

Sorry to suggest it, I sure hope it's not blown.

dude is it full extended ??? or thats the highest the shaff goes up ???
to check if its blown... Pull out the shaff as far as it can and see if it drops... Or push it down and see how much resistance it gives you ... if there isnt then its blown...

[Rdizzle]

problem is someone wrapped a big piece of brass wire around the top and hooked a little bit to the collar. It looks like it is barely holding back, which could be a good thing. Right now i am afraid that that thing is gonna shoot of if the shock is actually pressurized. All in all im pissed that i even have to deal with this.

[Wraith]

ooohh ok I see it ... never mind its not blown...
just push the shock down just make sure you dont bottom it out totally and pull it out...
