Hey mate,

A year on kings will bugger the stock struts pretty well (especially 122's). If you can afford the Koni's then they are one of the best shocks you will get without changing to coilovers. A full set will cost you around $1000 (if you shop around). The improvement in handling is really quite awesome for the price and should they leak in a few years time they are easily revalved.

PM me if you want any further details

Cheers

how about TRD shocks for my 122 in performance & pricing? (shocks = structs???)

Should I keep the Kings Low Springs or change it to TRD too?

edit: Cusco & TRD, which will you choose?

I think the TRD shocks are designed to work with the TRD springs. (Look up Mickey Tee's review on his TRD package). Whoever here has purchased Cusco Zero 2's have given nothing but good reviews too. It really depends on your budget. If you want to keep your existing springs, Go for the Koni's or similar. They too get good reviews.

Agreed CAP,

TRD struts are designed to be mated with the TRD springs. They are an excellent product but for the price difference between them and Koni's my personal choice would be the latter. If you have a spare $1800-$2000 and want good ride quality and unbeatable handling then go the Cusco Zero 2 Coilovers. Like CAP said it all really depends on your budget and intended use for your car. If you are going to be doing track days then the Cuscos's are your choice, for just street use then the TRD or Koni's.

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi everyone, I own a 2011 Toyota Hilux KUN26R. It currently has a tray. I am looking for a single cab tub (image for reference below). I have a couple of questions for everyone: - Were KUN26R's ever released in Australia with a single cab tub as an option? I have looked high and low over all sorts of marketplaces within Australia and honestly cannot seem to find one. I don't believe I have ever seen one on the streets of Aus either. - Does anyone have experience making this conversion? Where can I find a tub? I have found some examples of the style side single cab KUN26R's in the UK, EU, Africa and Thailand but in all instances it has been part of a whole car sale and the sellers have not been willing to part out. Even so, if there is the chance that I can buy this tub in Australia it would be much better as it would save the hassle of organising freight. Thanks everyone in advance. I'm jealous of overseas countries who seem to have gotten this model in abundance.

      1993 Corolla Seca CSI limited

      1993 CSI limited Corolla Seca hatchback 80k kms. We are the second owner and have complete service and maintenance records of the car from new. Previously owned from new by older lady who rarely drove the car in the final years. Very neat and tidy vehicle. Unfortunately another vehicle has reversed into the car and their towball caused some damage to radiator, air con system and fan. The right person could easily fix the vehicle. We are just not in a financial position to do this. We cannot bear to send the car to salvage so posting here in hope that another Toyota enthusiast is interested incontinuing the life of the car. These cars are much loved and we have loved our “Beryl” during her time with us. Please feel free to ask questions. Open to offers above $3k

      Rav4 smart key keyless entry

      I got my new rav4 2024 hybrid gx yesterday. The fob let's me lock and unlock using the button but doesn't do this automatically for proximity. Once in the car the push start ignition turns on without holding the key up to it and the multimedia system tells me that the smartkey system is activated. I've read the manual over and over but can't find a fix for this specific thing. Has anyone else had this?

      Hey I'm looking to buy my first car and was looking at this 2010 Aurion Sportvio with 165,000km for around $9000and relatively new tires. Just wondering if this is a good price and if I should be worried about such high km's with expensive maintenance. Only looking to have this car for 5 ish years, so will it last that?
