I get what you're saying. But you're going to need to ride in my brother's car with my suspension, so if there's a big supra meet or something when I have the supra running, I'll bring it out and give you a ride in it. Everyone who rides or drives in the car loves the way it feels and handles...

I guess check for leaks and clean them up would be your best bet. If they're double height adjustable, I would set preload with them off the car, but you will need to get something to use to adjust the lower spring perch. If they're not double height adjustable, then just put them on the...

So get lowering springs then. I wasn't telling you to get coilovers, I was suggesting to use spring sleeves with 2.5" ID springs instead of just getting cheap lowering springs. The spring sleeves and better springs will give you height adjustability and allow you to select or have selected for...

So those are Kaze? Are you cutting out that gigantic fender lip in there? Or were those overs designed so you can run stock ride height and keep the sun off your rear wheels?

I've never seen aftermarket fenders sold individually. Everyone else sells them as a pair, so I don't know why S2 would be different. So 4-500 from Shine for a pair, is that MSRP? Or is that what he would sell them on here for?

I think your pricing from S2 is wrong. Unless their website is wrong, the fronts are 62000 yen and the rears are also 62000 yen. With current exchange rates that would put them both around $560, so $1120 plus shipping for the set. So if shine can come in at about half S2's price, then I'm in...

Nothing that I've done to the car. But I did throw out a decent condition targa shell because I didn't have anywhere to keep it and couldn't give it away to anyone local.

I was talking more about going to a sleeve and 2.5" ID spring instead of buying some normal aftermarket setup. It would allow for a better selection of what rates and in most cases a higher quality spring. Plus a bigger selection of sizes and the spring sleeve would allow for some height...

Now let me ask, the people that said they love them. Have you ever driven or even rode in a properly setup car? I'm not trying to say that you're wrong, I'm just curious as to what is your baseline for comparison. Going from stock blown dampers to Megans would be a huge step up. But going...

That's what I want to know. If he's doing fronts and rears, then I'm in. If it's just rears, probably not.

IJ is right, due to the geometry, there is a slightly progressive effect to the suspension, but this is not as much a progression as progressive springs. I don't like progressive springs. With a good damper, there is no need for them. Like others have said, they're soft under small...

What rates are the TTR springs? Is the only reason you want to swap them out is to go lower? If you just want to lower the car and would like some adjustability, I would suggest a spring sleeve setup and good springs. I feel like I'm saying this a lot. But with properly matched springs...

Well, as far as what I think, they're crap. If you just want to slam your car and have it be real stiff, but not handle well, then Megan's/D2/Ksport/Tein/etc/ are for you. I just hasn't been happy with anything that's been coming out of Asia in terms of coilovers for most cars. I have a lot...

Dr.J, I'm not trying to start any arguments, I was just curious as to what was so complicated about it. And 90% of racing is drag racing? Well maybe that's where the different outlook comes from, I'm not a drag racer or have anything to do with it for the most part. I will build customer...

In some of the cars I have moved the battery, I did put in a master switch. For a lot of the stuff that I do and a lot of other classes a remote master switch is recommended and not required. But even when it is, it's not that hard to wire it in. I mean it's just a switch, but with bigger...

Well that's just not true.

And the Diana kit without the fender flares. But also get the s2 fender flares.

Bilstein over tanabe (and most others) always for me. I'm just a big fan of Bilsteins dampers and what you can do with them. Without opening them up, they will usually work with a good range of spring rates and can be a very good and affordable setup for most people's cars. After opening them...

Everytime I've done it, it has been legal for any sanctioning body that I wanted to run with. So what makes it complicated. Saying it's complicated doesn't explain anything. Is it the battery mounting? Is it the wire color selection? Is it running it under the carpet? What is it?

The wheel gains negative camber with wheel travel. So the wheels can tuck in and clear the fender. I'm not sure on actual numbers for how much camber gain for wheel travel, but it does tuck in. 255 isn't square enough on a 9" wheel? Maybe we just look at things a little differently, but a...
