I wanna lower my 05 STivo pplz.

Not sure where to go...but preferrably round south-east side would be good.

I've been gettin weird prices....n outrageous ones too! :angry::huh:

Please help me c where is good value, good quality and great service to lower my Stivo. :D

So far i've got:

1. Mr Muffler (Glen Waverley) - $560!! (Inc springs/installation) - no alignment

2. Donnellans (Box Hill) - $380 (Inc Kings or Pedders springs/installation AND alignment)

can't be believe the big diff...but wt# happened wit Mr muffler's price?

Just another quick Q....Eibach/kings/lovells/kings/pedders.....wats the diff? The dude at Donnellans says all the springs except Eibach are made from the same ware but jus diff colours? :unsure: like :huh:

i can't afford Eibachs....but yea...Help me please...lol i'm soo lost :(

Thanks for all your help Team! ^_^

So let's say i pay how much for the springs at Suspension City?

Then go to BB's Garage (which i have no idea where it is) to get my springs installed for how much?

And so all up it would total?

Does this Inc Wheel balancing?...

To me so far, it looks as though i may head to Donnellans cause $380 inc springs, installation n alignment looks aight.

Break it down for me n prove me wrong.

Thanks again! ^_^

Sorry for the annoyance >_<

Most places would recommend u drive ur springs for at least 200ks b4 u align it. This is for the springs to settle.

You can buy king superlow/lows on ebay for about 200-220 .. installation varies.. suspension city charged me $340 .. installation + springs..

If u supply ur own springs.. they will charge u $120-180 for installation.

King Springs are not the same as Lovells. As for Pedders springs they are King springs painted RED!!! How do I know you ask???? I know someone who works for King springs ;) Eibachs are a lot more expensive over the rest as they aren't made here.

But as far as Spring Prices as concerned - Kings lows $220

Installation - $150

Wheel Alignment $50

This is pretty much the average of what it costs in Brisbane anyway. Between $380 - $450.

Or get someone from the forum to fit them for you who was the correct tools to do the job. I've done too many sets to remember and it isn't really that hard. The only problem with suspension shops doing it is that they almost always break clips on your boot trim cause they pull it out incorrectly.

      Anybody interested in Rav4 SXA-10 (3 Door) Project car?

      I have a SXA-10 3 Door in my garage that i was intending to get going again, but sadly just cannot seem to find the time. I was my daughters car, until she cooked the motor. I have a replacement motor ready to go. Quite good for its age otherwise. In Berowra, just north of Sydney.

      Squeaking and buzzing sounds

      Greetings! I have a 2008 camry (83000) with the 2grfe, and recently while I was in a stoplight a buzzing and squeaking sound suddenly became audible even on the outside and it is louder when I'm in gear (reverse or drive) in idle but when I'm cruising or accelerating it doesn't make any audible noise. I attached a link for everyone to view and give their opinions regarding it and the engine light is just a faulty sensor that I'm sure it doesn't have any effect or could be considered as a culprit since I have that engine light for a few months now and it doesn't change the way the car drives Thankyou Video link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oyxGUafCTU9CRG_trSC1hIGNxzQPMabI/view?usp=drivesdk

      Error Codes - 200 Series Landcruiser

      Those codes are not on my error code list but a quick Google search points towards a malfunctioning injector. Need more info such as mileage, diesel or petrol , fuel filter and car behaviour.

      2014 VDJ200 Toyota Landcruiser Sahara Water pump

      As fas as I know all V8 diesels are the same. The only difference between the 'ute' and/or Trooper (single turbo) is the ECU. As mentioned in my post 200 is the wagon, 79/78/76 are the ute/trooper variant only having one turbo. Is $800 just for the pump? This one must only be silver plated.

      New Vehicle Key Remotes

      Bought a new 2022 Hilux Rogue ( 23km on Odo ) from a Non Toyota dealer, as a second hand car.Ok with that.Purchased on Feb/2023 and was flawed when only given one key/remote.Told 2nd key would arrive to original dealer, they would contact the current owner to have 2nd key activated and handed to current owner.Fast fwd to May 24 some 15 mths later Toyota Aust, says key has still not been issued to original dealer/seller. The Non dealer not interested in helping as their not a Toyota dealer.Original dealer said they cant help once the car leaves their dealership ?????. Not good enough from Toyota Aust. Going to keep complaining as I reckon its a ploy to get one to pay for a 2nd key. Don't get me started on Hilux requirement to service at 5000/mths . GGGGGRRRRRRR

      2014 VDJ200 Toyota Landcruiser Sahara Water pump

      Thanks, been quoted up near $800 from a good source but was hoping to get one cheaper and he wouldn’t tell me the model as I have a twin turbo and stated it the higher end model.

      2014 VDJ200 Toyota Landcruiser Sahara Water pump

      $1500? Gold plated is it? 1VD-FTV sounds about right. Only two variants - petrol or diesel. Only one diesel through out the life of the diesel V8. Had mine done around 2012 (2008) vintage, $250 from Toyota at the time. Shop around and try AMAYAMA. Forumites on the now defunct LCOOL were sourcing quite a few parts from there. Try this: Genuine Toyota LandCruiser 200 79 78 76 Series VDJ 1VD 4.5 Diesel V8 Water Pump on ebay.

      Toyota Landcruiser V8 petrol lack of power on acceleration

      Hi, My Toyota landcruiser 2004 V8 Sahara has lost power on acceleration with a timing tickle. I have replaced the plugs, coils, air filter, fuel filter and cleaned pcv valve as there was some oil through the box. The car is showing no codes, but has high oil pressure on cold start, is noisy and using a lot more fuel than usual. Please help, Barb
