    Steering Spacers installed

    You really don't even have to remove the tie rod from the spindle. It can stay attached and you can still install the spacers, you just have to do all the cleaning and putting the loctite on under the car. As for caster, if you're looking at the outside wheel in a normal turn, the wheel...

    Steering Spacers installed

    Sounds good Nash. I also would not recommend going any bigger than my spacers. The rack is almost out of travel at that point and it could create issues. Also make sure your power steering fluid is always full and bled. And, although not necessary, a power steering cooler is a good...

    Do you want Energy Suspension Poly Bushings? READ HERE.

    If energy or anyone else does say to bring a car over so they can design these bushings. Can whoever does it please make sure that non of your eccentric bolts are frozen in the bushings. First of all it will destroy the bushing and they may not be able to measure it accurately. And secondly...

    Good set-up?

    If it's predominantly a street car and just taken to the drag strip every once in a while for fun, I would focus more on a good street suspension and less on the drag racing. There are many possible setups that would work well for the street and could also work well for drag racing. Like I...

    Body kit on Ebay...Post your thoughts!

    AF, besides the unpainted carbon hood on the second one, that's a nice clean look. But to me it looks like it could've or should've been a factory aero package. I like stuff that's a little more ridiculous but in a good way. But I probably will end up running a greddy knockoff front bumper...

    Steering Spacers installed

    From me. Check the thread in the group buy section on here. It's the "Who wants more steering angle?" thread. Tim

    Brian, it's alright. I still have a bunch of these left. Tim

    Body kit on Ebay...Post your thoughts!

    I like it. A stock supra just looks to plain. And all the other body kits out there have too many goofy wholes and random crap and it makes them look stupid.

    Steering Spacers installed

    Awesome Nash. I'm glad to hear someone finally installed them. The car is going to feel totally different for drifting now with decent steering angle. I can't wait to see the pics. And for everyone else, like Nash said, use good loctite and clean the threads. You can no longer use the...

    Good set-up?

    I'm guessing this is a drag race application? How much power, what does the car weigh, tires, wheels, etc?? How serious are you about it? Do you want a street car, that can go to the track? Do you want a drag car that you will still drive on the street? Stock springs i the rear and...

    Illumina II's with RS*R or H&R

    You want a stiffer ride and progressive springs or you don't? And I don't have dyno plots for the Illuminas and I don't know anything about your car, so I can not say what springs would work well with them. I would need that information to come up with any type of estimate. Otherwise...

    Megan coilovers?

    For standard valving, I didn't mean the valving that comes in their off the shelf supra damper. I meant the standard shim stacks that they specify and sell for their motorsports dampers. I'm using an assortment of shims that I put together after many hours calculating what damping was needed...

    Do you want Energy Suspension Poly Bushings? READ HERE.

    You guys are missing the way companies work. If no one is bugging them from the outside or there is no internal pressure to design something it won't get done. Maybe no one at energy had an Mk3 and no one who called was really putting up a good enough argument for them to prioritize the...

    more steering angle- how does it keep the alignment?

    What tie rods are you talking about? And what are they adjusting the pivot relative to? Is it exactly the same as what I said above just worded differently? Or are you trying to say something different? Adjusting the pivot point and not changing anything else with the tie rod would be a...

    more steering angle- how does it keep the alignment?

    I saw this while I was searching for something else, I must have missed it when it was originally posted. First, 240 tie rods will not work, they are a different thread on the inner tie rod. Second, aftermarket tie rods that give you more angle work just like my spacers do, the part of...

    Those with Megan Racing Track Coilovers PLEASE HELP

    In all honesty, it sounds like too modular of a design and cutting corners to produce a cheap product. If they can't get the damper lengths right, then what would you expect of the valving. Cyfi6, I'm not sure what Ben is talking about. It doesn't really make much sense. What are the...

    Those with Megan Racing Track Coilovers PLEASE HELP

    I forgot to ask you earlier, but I'm assuming that the shock is bottomed out in the lower mount. And you said you're running close to zero preload right? If so, the only way to get lower is to use a helper spring and intermediate perch or droop the spring which I don't really recommend. I...

    drift comp feb 2nd wish me luck

    If you try to use both my spacers and that add on piece, you will probably have more angle than you can use. You should be able to use a little more than you'll get with my spacers, but both of them together and you'll just be slamming you wheel into your sway bar. And depending on wheel size...

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    I didn't look at the 285s, I started with 265s and then saw what other sizes came up for the tires that came up with the 265s. But the 285/25 would work. I don't know if 18/20 stagger would look that great on a supra. Maybe 18/19 though. The car may be a little lower than most, but if you...
