the TRD suspension is pretty impressive,

Ive had zeal coilovers and other brands in the past, they handled great but the ride quality wasnt always the best

TRD suspension offers the perfect mix of ride quality and handling ability i think

Probably able to get a similar result with aftermarket parts though, might be more of a gamble though

The TRD suspension does work very well. I will only be looking at a thicker rear sway bar for mine in the future.

What is wrong with the ZR6 (which I assume is the same as the SX6) suspensions? Granted that they're not stiff as, but the reason for that is at the end of the day, its still a family car, so some comfort needed there. However, having said that, they're still pretty good for a good hard fang.

I wouldn't look to changing the suspensions, rather, I'd be looking at changing the sway bar bushes to urethane - although I haven't been under the car since I got the car..LOL (Not this one baby).

If I really have to, I'd just up the spring rates by a couple of kgs, thats about it.

dont forget that the difference between the zr6 and the trd in terms of handling is not only the suspension, but the chassis has been strengthened as well...

just something to keep in mind.. :)

And what chassis strengthening might that be? A 4 point roll cage with H-Brace underbody bracing with subframe connectors and rear strut brace maybe? Or maybe a fully seam-welded shell is used instead ? Your TRD Aurion chassis is no stiffer than the Sportivo it started life as.

oh really??

so this guy from trd must be talking **** then...

:rolleyes:

no where did i say that its has "A 4 point roll cage with H-Brace underbody bracing with subframe connectors and rear strut brace maybe? Or a fully seam-welded shell"... the chassis has been strengthened... but not in the OMG I'M SO HECTIK CAUSE I'VE GOT A STRUT BRACE kinda way...

and i never said that it was a HUGE amount of stiffening, but there is an improvement over the standard car... :)

Ah, knew you would point to that clip.

That rear aluminium bumper is standard on all US Camry's, developed because of the US safety design rules. In fact, they have a front aluminium bumper as well.

For the TRD Aurion, the rear aluminium bumper is available only on the 3500 SL, not the 3500 S.

As for chassis stiffening, it does sweet FA. Does provide additional protection in the event of a front/rear end collision. Why did they bother ? Heard of "Marketing"?

Before you start pointing to the bracing behind the rear seat back and front strut brace, they are standard even on the humble Camry Sportivo. B)

      Insurance

      Yeah, kind of what I've been thinking, but due to how bad the drivers are through Chatswood and those areas I'll probs ensure it with someone like AusPost who have the cheapest insurance and will insure me but I will definitely get the cameras you suggested thankyou so much

      Insurance

      If you've answered all their questions honestly & tried all the majors then there's nothing you can do other than find the cheapest quote for 3rd party because that's the minimum you need to be out on the roads. Some 3rd party insurance will also cover your car up to a small amount ($3000) if the other party is at fault & they have no insurance. Because you will be driving around with no insurance for your own car, I suggest getting quality dashcams front & rear to cover yourself incase of any claims you need to make against someone at fault. I recommend the viofo A129 pro duo https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/295468431227 Start getting quotes again for comprehensive insurance, once enough time lapses to have confidence answering those licence disqualification questions without needing to disclose. Usually 3-5 years after the fact....

      Insurance

      Hey guys I'm new here I've run into a pretty major issue, I've just bought myself a 2007 aurion sx6 as an 18 year old red p plater who commutes to sydney city daily around 165km round trip (six days per work) for work. When I was younger I got done with some heft demerits and was given a police suspension (Dec 2022-Feb 2022) in court the judge ordered my license to be canceled (hence the red P plates at nearly 19) and I was suspended again in December of 2023 until March 2024 when I got caught by a camera doing 6km over the limit in the tolls tunnels (stupid ik) - and just before I bought my car I was T-Boned on my motorbike not at fault but a claim was made, most insurers are flat out refusing to insure me and the ones that don't refuse quote me around $5000-$6000 for full comprehensive. Have no family whose insurance I can be added to and as an apprentice I really can't afford $5000 for insurance. I know all of this is a result of stupid decisions made when younger - but if anyone has any helpful tips or advice it would be greatly appreciated I have been on the train for the past 3 months and it's a 4 hour trip each way so kind of need this sorted

      Ticking Hilux 5le

      Hi all, got a 2004 diesel 4x4 Hilux with the 5le motor in it. 250,000 kilometres, i’m the second owner and have had it about 9 months. Since I bought it there has always been a constant ticking noise while driving (anywhere over 1200rpm) but not while idling. Does it while accelerating, maintaining speed and decelerating. No real impact on power and I get about 12.5L per 100km. I never worried about it too much but it’s starting to ***** me off a bit. I’ll link a video below, any clues what could be causing the noise?

      Toyota Echo Mods.

      Hmm it seems like I can't quote anyone except the original post. @Wing (hope I tagged right person) I definitely relate. You did incredibly well with that find! Crazy low KMs!

      Toyota Echo Mods.

      Thanks for the post Aldo. Googling echo upgrades lead me to this thread and now I'm a member. I definitely hear you. I've been looking in to turning my 03 Echo in to a soft roader. I bought it for 2k (clear coat was cooked) back in 2021. I managed to lose my license in it within first 3 weeks. I HUGELY underestimated how much up and go it has. Although on fresh tyres, previous owner went cheap. In the wet, driving hard, I was spinning until 3rd gear/ or around 75kmh. Have been playing around with it, looking at suspension upgrades, bash plates etc, even a snorkel 😂 but best I've been able to come across so far would be swapping suspension and wheels from a Jimny or similar. Would require a bit of custom modifications and therefore engineering certificate etc. There already seems to be some great posts in here. Definitely suspension and air flow seme to be the go. Since we have the old cable 🚠 based throttle, unfortunately we can't do drive-by-wire. I was introduced to that by a workmates 06? Hilux 4x2... That thing pulled *HARD* just from changing the mode selected on the DBW. V6 obviously but yeah. Definitely following this thread and gonna pop the air filter next 👍🏽 👍🏽

      Wheels for Hilux

      Hi, I'm hoping to buy a good second hand set of wheels for my 98' Mk 4 Hilux single cab. Does anyone know if Mk7 wheels would fit regarding the offset please? Thank you, Best, Daniel

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      Just wanted to add this here since I've just been through the very same dilemma and for some reason it's so difficult to find reliable info on the 'net for Australian cars. The globe does just pull out from that holder (referring to OP's posted photos). I was worried, too, and even found someone saying to undo those metal clips latched onto the sides of the plastic body. Mine was tight as anything but just had to grab the glass (it's actually quite strong - but be as gentle as practicable) and just wiggle the globe assembly back and forth while pulling on the globe. Eventually it will start to move a little and just keep wiggling and pulling until it comes out of its socket. What I haven't worked out yet is how to get the new globe back in the headlight assembly (on the passenger side with very limited room) without the new globe bumping into every piece of metal and plastic in that limited space and then how to get the holder aligned properly in the hole and pressed in deeply enough for it to latch (with a twist) back in to place. Possibly I didn't seat the globe down far enough when I inserted it back into that. holder. After that I need to tackle the front parking lights on both sides. So far (per a US video) I may need to go in from the wheel well? Crikey.
