well the lowest you can go is a coke can, i think

So get a coke can, put it under ur car, imagine ur car at that height ;)

Ignore the coke can crap Brad. I got sucked into that as well. The coke can is just a general guide. They measure 123mm high (unless you're talking about rolling it under the car). 100mm off the ground is the legal limit. Period lol. I've already been through this mannnny a time hahaha.

oVo how low you wanna go really? and what with? spring/shock combo? coilovers?

I dunno how low i wanna go...funds wise, i'm in the same boat as RMEI "Project El Cheapo".

I've got the worst drive way in n out, so i don wanna go too low...

I hear that changin springs to either Kings etc will eventually have a saggin effect because the Stivos aren't used to being lowered to that height or something...is that true?

I plan to keep my pride n joy for ages so i'm real cautious on wat i wanna do...

Would love to get Coilovers but i'm lookin at other mods too so gotta spread the funds.

I'm balancing between gettin bigger rims wit low profiles or just loweing...i'm not sure...>_<

Hmm. Methinks 35mm drop w. koni yellows for you oVo. However Koni Yellows are still expensive. 35mm drop on stock shocks is fine but they're wear out eventually. Maybe invest in some Koni's. I've heard bad things about re-valving shocks.

How much do Koni Yellows go for generally?

N wen u say wear out eventually...like wat time from we talkin? (eg 1 year or 5 years? or we talkin Ks?)

Shocks "re-valving"? :unsure: wat's dat?

Thanks for ur words of wisdom ^_^

Tis alllllll good :D

Well I'm on 35mm drop at the moment and my shocks are starting to feel a little worn. Only a little. It's bumpier than the original springs (I'm used to bumpy though, that's just me). I'd say they'd wear out after 3 - 4 years with 35mm drop?

Koni Yellow's I think brand new are $800 - $1000 I think? I'm not too sure. Grab a few quotes.

'Re-valving' is when you take your current factory shocks and you re-new their valving to suit the 35mm drop (or 50mm or even 65mm if you're brave lol). I have heard bad things though. Perhaps simply saving up for coilovers and doing it right the first time is on the cards for you? I'm owning my car for a long time and this is what I'm doing, purely due to the fact I can adjust the ride height. I'm not stuck at any particular height. Plus I can stiffen or soften the suspension easily. I'm grabbing D2's for $1750, but JAZE fitted G4's to his rolla and he's wrapped in them. $1350 I think? That might be the go for you. Ride height adjustable and they can be softened or stiff also. They're still comfy to ride on if you tune them appropriately.

Hope this helps you! Any other queries PM me oVo. ;)

Someone here must got that pic where i fit in a ciggarette box underneath the car. It just touches the chassis rail - given that it is 9cm off ground from chassis. But, perhaps the ground is not level, well, i should be at around 9-10cm.

i actually scrubbed b4 .. :( can not fit my finger inbetween the guard.. migh have to go 110mm.

I dont know how u get around with 90 danz .. hardcore!

That means u r riding lower than me :) I keep 1 finger gap for safe measure, and I do not recommend riding lower than that to be honest. 100mm is safe - 90mm is about as far as u should go. Between the centre hub to the fender should be at around 30-31cm.

With my height, u can load full passenger without rub - unless u corner that is, sometimes slow speed still produces rubbing of the fender plastic guard, and uneven road will also rub it.

Driving alone is fine.

Or it could be your 18inch - my tyre size is actually making it smaller overall diametre than standard. I know if i run 205/45 (which is closer to standard than running 215/40/17) I will rub with this height. I assume u r running 215/35/18?

      Does any one know if the trd sportivo suspension for the 2017 facelift corolla fielder fits the 2013 prefacelift version? Is the chassis the same? Thanks for the help.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Camry Touring 2010 A/C Issues.

      Hi Guys, My Camry 2010 Touring just had a regas done on it and the next day for some reason it wasn't blowing cold air but the next day it is and now working with nice cold air BUT every now and then we can hear and feel a buzz for a few secounds and today while my sister took my car I could her like a mild knocking sound when stopped but goes away when driving off. Any idea what this could be and the A/C is always working now for now.
