Finally got the suspension installed

well... I finally got the suspension installed

H&R Springs
Tokico Sport Struts

here's some pics of the Rolla in the shop:





and the result... so far the drop isn't really that drastic.. I'm hoping the springs will settle down some more... but the handling is significantly improved over stock!!!


Set-up now consists of:

205/45/16 TOYO FZ4 Proxes...
16" Advanti Racing Rims...
TRD strut Bar
H&R Springs
and Tokico Struts

Looking good!

My springs (H&R) and struts (Tokico) never settled.

Don't forget to go back to Gilman for an alignment in a few weeks

Thanks guys for the compliments...

really Phi? never settled? are you happy with the drop?
I'm very happy with the handling...
but just wish it would drop a bit more


ya Gilman's did a great job!! and at a fair price!!
and Raymond is a good guy!!


Can you believe some of the shops here in Oakville
were quoting me as much as $400 plus tax just to install the parts
I already had!?!!!!


I couldn't fuckin belive my ears

definately going back for a 4-wheel alignment in a couple weeks
