Giddy up! Suspension has arrived..

[Ratko]

My H&R Sport springs and Tokico strut inserts have arrived and i just brought em home !!

After I pick up some hi-temp paint, Im taking a drive down to Windsor this Saturday (about 3-4 hours drive depending on the driver - Daks, wanna come?) to visit my uncle who owns a shop down there to do the suspension install, brake cleaning, and caliper painting.

My uncle also said he can do a tranny swap no problem. He has around 10 parts suppliers (new, used, and aftermarket) and he says that he can get all the parts required no sweat. So thats a big thing i can look forward to in the future.

BTW - Dickson, the colour of the springs is red.

Ratko get a tranny install estimate and i will get my swap done by your uncle.

Wow that was really quick. Yea I knew your springs are going to be red because that's what Phi has. :grin:

Now I think my Camry is special (in terms of suspension).... :razz:

You guys better order the swaybar man... it makes the suspension upgrade COMPLETE!

[Phi]

That was REALLLY fast delivery
Hell, you should drive down to Windsor now and get those bad boys installed. You won't regret the purchase.

That caliper paint is gonna look nice behind you're stock wheels :grin:

Yeah, you're special Dickson. Keep believing your Mom :smile:

Yeah my H&amp;R Sport springs were red as well... not like you get to see it after the install unless you look under the wheel-well.

We should get the group buy going again. I am in for sure... I know CamryRR is and a few other guys who had their money in... lets do it!

Maybe I can come with you and do my brakes whil we're at it... I can help you with struts and springs too since I did the same thing! :smile: Will your uncle be around for professional advice/assistance? :smile:

Today i did my struts and springs and lets just say my car is mega droped (10cm off the floor).Im still in for those sway bars im sure that will help handling even more.

[Ratko]

yeah i know the caliper painting is useless on my doggie-dish hubcaps, but i just dont like the idea of driving 4 hours JUST for one thing :smile:

as for the tranny swap, i will humbly take the position of guinnea pig and see how well it goes, in the future of course. He through me a number of like ~$1200 to do it for me, his nephew, so i assume thats like all parts fee's... I dont know, sounds like a good thing to do in a few months (about the time the Hytech headers should be out)...

latez.

Hi ya Ben,

How is your ride now that you have the new struts/springs setup? I was thinking of TRD lowering springs and Tokico struts to save cost and since so many people seem to prefer this setup. Also I think TRD struts maybe too stiff. Another question, when you change the springs/struts can you save the OEM parts to be use later when I'm older and need softer suspension :razz:

[Jzs147-RR]

Hi T2000 the new setup is realy amazing its like when i drove my friends M3 Bmw.Now my car has very minimal body roll and at good speeds it seems to be much more stable and responsive.One day i will give you a test drive if you want i should be going down to TO in late Sept so maybe we could meet there.As for all my Oem parts i still got them all here and they are in the same shape as when they where on my car, so i could always go back to stock.Only problem now is a dumb engine light that will be fixed tomorow hopefully.
