maybe change tein ss to sw (superwagon) cuz u cant get ss for the zze12X corolla.

No that is incorrect. We are able to get TEIN SS but in jap spec not aus spec. Im just guessn the spring rates and valving are harder. I just downloaded the catalogue it says ZZE122G so it must also fit ZZE123 as well. Like all the other coilovers

G4, D2, K-Sport and some other brands are variants of the same makes just different labeling.

When one brand changes its model, the other brand follows suits.

Speaking about D2, I was told they are now discontinued.

Oh time to vote. On that list, Cusco Zero is the best.

replies and votes made are based on what people has experienced.

Very limited people have driven or used as a daily driver on different setups.

On a personal note, most of the taiwanese brands may have the same casing (i.e. G4s, D2 etc etc) they have very different strut inserts and spring rates readily available.

Regardless of what brand, the approach would be to understand what it is you want your car to do and make the splash with the one you can afford.

there's not much point comparing a $900 taiwanese job to a $3k JDM setup, where in actual fact the taiwanese setup might be better suited for your needs.

I have only known about the us model SS (whether it fits i'm not sure, I know the bolt holes on the bottom of the front coilovers for the matrix are bigger, so you cant fit them properly, never heard about the japanese, although there was an aus car parts site with ss listed for the jap zze122G, I emailed them and i was told that it was a mistake and only the wagons are avaiable.

On the list to vote I went with the Cusco's as they are the only set of coilovers that I have fitted where everything fits nice and easy and has correct brackets for the brake lines etc etc the same as the stock strut.

But if the list included Drummond motorsport coilovers then that would be the one i would choose. Yes very expensive but custom made to suit your car is the only way to go!!!

Proflex suspension is another one but I doubt many people from here would have hard of them nor would pay what their worth. We have them fitted on one of our customers Rally Civic's. They have a 50mm strut shaft and cost just on $1500 a corner!!! Their motto is "If you bend one of our struts then your car is stuffed".

Everyone has a different opinion of what "too stiff" is. Northy's car handles great but for me is "too stiff" for everyday driving. But he loves it and after all it's his car so it's up to him. I prefer to have a firm ride where you can feel the road undulations under you but it's not bone jarring or to the point of being harsh and uncomfortable.

It's prettty hard to have a softish ride and still have it handle like it's on rails.....

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      That is about the standard price you'd expect nothing crazy, I paid pretty much the same for a 2008 model with 160k on the clock. As to the high km's and maintenance, 165,000km for a Toyota is nothing to sweat about and the maintenance/repairs are pretty cheap. If it's been treated well by the previous owners and you continue to look after it then it will easily last you another 5 years.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      I apologise if this is an idiotic question--I've searched and watched dozens of videos on how to replace a burnt out bulb, and i'm fine with it (i've even done it before, though it was years ago). the problem is that I can't seem to get the bulb out of the 'plug'/base--it seems that that is too blindingly obvious to be explained or shown on camera. I can't remember what I did last time I replaced a bulb... I don't know if I have to push something on the fitting to release it, if i have to twist it, or just yank really hard. I've applied as much strength as I dared, but am afraid of breaking something if i try to brute force it out. I could just pay $15 for someone at supercheap to pop it out and replace it for me but it's become a matter of principle at this point... I'm unwilling to admit defeat. The photos below are from a different post on this forum, but they're the same exact kind of bulb/fitting i'm struggling with... Any tips would be much appreciated. My wife is getting really annoyed with me because we can't drive at night but i'm too stubborn to pay $15. Thanks!

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      Hey all, Just recently bought a 2007 TRD Aurion and am trying to find an aftermarket Air Intake, but am coming to the realisation that there is a very limited market for TRD Aurions. So far the only system I've been able to find is a K&N Typhoon Intake (link here: https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/KN-Filters-69-8611TS-69-Series-Typhoon-Performance-Air-Intake-System-Camry-35L-07-11?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18898892770&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpZWzBhC0ARIsACvjWRP893VLnAQsxIZJjcW5Go75b_T2N25rSWBVu6IeDziM2v41bpeyOREaAg1fEALw_wcB), however when viewing specifications for the product it states it fits Camry's from 2007-2011. Further digging revealed this product is an import from the USA hence why it's for a Camry - they don't have Aurions there. I am aware that they both share the 2GR-FE engine so I'm assuming the product will be able to be retrofitted to my TRD, provided the throttle body intake is the same diameter across Supercharged 2GR-FE's and N/A 2GR-FE's. Has anyone else in Aus had any luck sourcing/fitting one of these K&N Intakes, or know of another brand that do them specifically for the TRD Aurion's. Pretty confident in just ordering the aforementioned kit but their return policy sucks (can't return and refund if packaging has been opened, etc). Cheers guys! Jason.

      Heater problems

      My Toyota Celica SX blows cold air at the driver’s side when the heater is on, and it is an absolute nuisance. I get that it takes a while for the heater to work properly, but some reason after I have the heater on, it starts blowing out cold air even after a good warm up! I feel like the heater core may need replacing or the air conditioner/heater needs re-gassing.

      Entertainment Unit Upgrade

      Hi everyone. Just after some advice on head unit upgrade. I'm looking to upgrade the functionality of the entertainment system to do a few things - display my dual camera from my caravan, utilise the HEMA OnRoad/OffRoad module, stream to the rear screens, and include wireless apple play. I've narrowed down to the most popular which seems to be Advanced Ice, EC Offroad and Galios - but none seem to do all four functions seamlessly. Not sure if I'm actually looking for a unicorn or not...has anyone had any experience in installing one of these systems and has it done all the functions? Any regrets? Cheers Mark
