Nash, so which thing on that page did you get? And I was under the impression that the truck stuff didn't work for us or was I looking at something different. Poodles, Carbonetics is the same company as ATS. And if you look at the ATS Japan site, you will see that they have a lot of...

Well then that's not too bad for the conversion. Are the yellows twin tube or monotube?

Well that can be done. I just need to redesign the upper mounts so they're a little more cost effective and find a good machine shop to make the spacers and then I can use the same shocks I have on my brother's car. I don't really like the HKS style ones due to the way they load the...

Oh and if you didn't see it, here's the group buy thread. http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56032 Tim

Supraguru, I was thinking that the 3011 or 3012 would work for you, but they're a little more than the wet kit. I don't know the specifics on the wet kit and how they retrofit the adjusters to the damper, so I can't really say much there. Is it 340 per damper just for the conversion? If so...

As for what I've tested or used. I've driven on Silkroads and they weren't bad for the price, but still leave something to be desired. They suffer from the too stiff compression curve like many of the others. Tein is another one that I've had a bunch of experience with and am not happy with...

That will work for 12 volt.

Poodles, there's still problems with the valving from a lot of those setups. I've driven on them or analyzed the shock data and they aren't as great as a lot of people think. Like I said earlier, a lot of them run too much compression damping, making them feel a lot stiffer than they are and...

Which Namebrand is this? Because I haven't seen or felt any that I would say were matched well.

I love Bilstein dampers, but not so much for their off the shelf damping more so for what you can do with them once you open them up. They're the most cost effective solution to a problem. But likw IJ said, you need the dampers to match the springs and the weight of the car if you want the...

I just don't see the need to add extra grooves in a tire like that. It already has a lot of grooves that were designed in there. So what is he going to do cut the tread blocks down even more and make the tires a lot sloppier?

I don't understand why you would need to sipe a tire like those toyos. I mean I could see on a race tire where you needed some channels for water removal, but other than that, it doesn't seem like there's much of a point to it. I think the tire guy is just trying to rip you off. I mean...

Why don't people post specs as well. Then people can see what fits well and what doesn't. 18x9.5+12 front, 18x10+18 rear Work XT-7 in the front, XD-9 in the back. I thought I had pics with the XT-7's on all around which is how it usually is, but I can't seem to find any and...

You do realize that with the units they quoted, that's not even a spring rate. It's some random number with the units of pounds per pounds per square inch. So whatever that means. And that should tell you something. It's bad enough using that stupid kg/mm shit, let alone stuff like this...

What about just ordering one from the Drive Shaft Shop? http://www.driveshaftshop.com/toyota.ivnu And unless you're using one of the driveshaft from that first place that was posted, the critical speeds and natural frequencies and all that fun stuff is going to be different for other drive...

Crap.

You're telling me. At least welding was free besides having to find an open diff to weld.

Shimming the diff isn't really worth it. But I also used old clutch plates so I don't know how good it would've been with new clutch plates. I did measure all of the clutch plates and thrust washers to make sure they met TSRM spec. And then I measured the diff, looked at what size shim the...

What suspension is on that thing? It looked real soft? And clutch kick more, like all the time. Are you running a real diff or a stock one? Here's a vid of me driving my brother's car. This was on TIP Coilovers and on a shimmed stock diff that was crappy. The car now has a welded diff...
