hi speed...

id like to see pics of your car's drop.
btw, where are you from ? im in mississauga.

[speedemn]

Its only 1.25" and should be more noticeable after it settles. Darryl and I here in Waterloo are finishing up the rear on monday... so far just the front strut/springs are done.

My home is in Toronto but I am at school in Waterloo now. Are you coming out to the TTCC meet on the 14th?

Whuz up Speedmn, I'm assunming you got the mofo of a nut off. How's the ride now?

Whuz up Ratko!

[Ratko]

unfortunately im in holland right now until september but ill be regular at the meets after that.

i plan on doing suspension mods as soon as i get back. probably some H&R spring and koni shocks/struts if possible.

i hope the meet on the 14th goes good, and i hope CamryRR comes down from quebec so you can all see his badass S/C'ed Gen 4

Actually I went out and bought new stabilizer bar links so in case we need to break off the nut we will do so. Darryl an I are getting back into the rear on monday. He's busy until then and I need his help to do this. :smile:

Damn, you and Darryl are patent!

So how do you plan on getting to Darknight without a ride?!?!

[speedemn]

Getting to where?

My car is up and running. I'm not the patient one. I'm waiting because Darryl is occupied until Monday... no choice.

My car is still running now. Stock setup in the back though. The front handles like its on rails man! Its amazing! In a way it was good to do one end and feel the difference and then do the other end.

I thought your car was all stripped with no wheels :wink:

sounds sweet. Can't wait to drop that $h17 in my car!

How much did you pay for the stabilizer end-link? I think I'm going to need one of these...

[speedemn]

Got it from Toyota (aka overpriced) and it cost $112 each + $0.60 for 2 nuts for each... so total after tax was $260 CDN jus for that little 8" long rod... doesn't seem like it should be that expensive! :sad:

I'm gonna see if I can reuse the stabilizer bar link that's in there now. But if the only way to take it off is to break it then so be it. I took it to a small shop and the mechanic there was saying the same thing.

Its the Canadian weather... promotes rust like you wouldn't imagine! That's why its so hard to undo that nut!

you guys are scaring me with all this talk about needing a new stabilizer end-link cause of the suspension install. Give me some reassurance here guys!

[speedemn]

If the shop didn't quote you that in the first place then they shouldn't charge you for it. If they break it then they will have to replace it.

Even then, I think you got an awesome deal on the install... $120 for all 4 corners for springs AND struts??? That's almost unreal!

I don't think I'm gonna let SpeedTech go near my car. Everybody is saying to avoid them. They don't even have a Hydro Lift! Didn't believe it myself until I checked for myself.
