Wagon progress.... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Havent been on here in a while, and I have some progress on the wagon!

The wagon is going through bodywork (the car had a lot of small damage here and there, and it didnt make sense to touch up those areas, since there is so much damage) SO the car is gonna be repainted the original color. Bumpers, door handles, and rear license plate overhead trim is gonna be painted body color as well.

I also am thinking of getting these wheels.....Old school looking 14 inch Enkeis

Sorry for the size of the pics, but these are the wheels I want to get. I already test fit the wheel, and it clears the front caliper, even when i turn the wheels and corner hard. The center of the wheel had to be sanded out a little bit to fit well around the front hub, but its all good.....I wanted to paint it gloss black with BFG G-force sport rubber all around.

But heres the thing...

When I mounted it on, i noticed there still was a small bit of wheel gap between the fenderwell and the tire. I know this subject was covered a lot of times, but I want to lower the car a half an inch...I think that would be a good drop. Where can I get a set of lowering springs? Also, to take advantage of the new rubber, I want some sway bars. I found an SR5 coupe at my junkyard. Can I get the sways off that?

ill have pics of the bodywork to follow!

I found a set of suspension techniques springs on nopi.com Would those springs fit my wagon? if i get those, what kind of struts should i get?

Thank you. Imagine it gloss black! Its going on my wagon. I wanted the old school looking panasports, but the guy i bought the enkeis from has it on his miata, and if i wanted the panasports, he was gonna sell them to me for 600!

I think ill just stick with the enkeis.

Thank you. haha, considering that im like 5000 miles away from you, lol. yeah, since i got my wagon i have been seeinng them everywhere. mostly old peoplle and the onnes ive seen were all autos.

Ive got a lot of plans for my wagon, and im not done yet. im gonna finish up the bodywork so i can get it to paint, put new rubber on the enkei's, put on my flowmaster muffler, and get the stereo done. Ive go two subs and 2 6 by 9's for the back. Ill get some pics of my progress later.

thanks for the kind comments. and yeah, i love my car too!

are those springs for "4dr rolla's only" if so and they say nothing about other springs for wagons go ahead and use them. i got a set of H&R sport drop springs on my 94 cam wagon and it rides nice, i also have tokico blue struts.
do those rims have the center caps or are you going without? man if you go without and use chrome or blue lugs that would look sweet

Im trying to look for the center caps, but i might use them like that. The springs said nothing for wagons, so maybe i can go ahead to use them.
