Whiteline actually supplies springs to Lovells and Dobinsons. I can get Whiteline springs for $320 but has to get it fitted and alligned which would bump the price close to $500, hence i am inclined to go for the Lovells offer.

Cheers,

Zee

I was quoted between $400-$440 for Kings but for some reason the suspension place here can't seem to get Kings for my car. Hence i looked at other brands and would like to try Whiteline. But will probably go with Lovells Super Sport, not the Super Low.

one way to find out if something is expensive is to contact the factory/manufacturer for their retail price.

add the retail price of the springs to a wheel alignment which is $30 for the front. therefore the balance is the labour and this should be $25-$40 per corner. the retail price for lovells is $240 a set.

i did my car and it is dam easy when you have a jack, the sockets and a breaker bar. i am surprised not more of us diy.

kcorro is right.... it is dead easy.... the most time consuming part is getting all the interior trim out of the back..... you can easily save yourself a couple of hundred bucks by DIYing (money to spend on other things ;) ) then just go and get a wheel allignment for max $50....

It's more the time for me when it comes to DIY. Anything that takes me more than half an hour i will rather pay someone to do it. Call me lazy or anything but isn't that why we have people called mechanics? :P

I am thinking of getting TRD Springs now after seeing them on the Bruce's site. Are they the same as Eibach Springs? I remember someone mentioning something about it.

zze122 and zze123 have bump stops as most cars do. i did not cut mine as i think it is silly to do so because of bottoming out.

map81 did you cut your bump stops or leave them alone?

I didn't touch my bumpstops, As there was no need to with the Tein's as they are designed to work with the standard shocks, struts and all other suspension components....

Not sure about other brand springs though :blink:

But on my last car AE92 corolla i had kings lows and didn't cut the bumpstops in it either and I never had a problem...

Apart from the body, nothing else seems to be different. Its basically the same chassis and everything just different body panel styling. So if u wish to buy something such as springs, suspensions, or intake in that matter, u are highly likely able to fit it perfectly. Still, best to ask 1st. I know that Tein supply the same spring for JDM and USA model. For us, we have to follow the JDM spec.

Cutting is not really necessary. By the way, MAP81, did u buy the S-Tech or the H-tech springs? I wanna know if those US owners are telling the truth :P mind if u send me a picture of the gap between the tyres and fender?

Hey Danz, yeah i have the S-Tech see Here for pics ect....

If you want some full size PM me your email addy and i will send them through, I will have a look and see if I can find any better ones also

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Had a similar issue with my 2003 Camry sedan. I'm think the mechanism might be bit stiff, so removing the door card and spraying the locking cable (the one that pushes the lock knob into the lock and unlock position on the interior door handle) with some Innox might work to loosen up the old grease and get it working again.

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi Ed, Hmm that's a tough one mate ..short of going to Toyota to get genuine and no I doubt they would laugh at you as it's a sale and money is tight right now. I am not sure if you are on Facebook or not but I have seen an advert on there for what looks like superb floor mat sets that do seem excellent quality and a wide range but like most things now they are not cheapish. My best advice is source some good quality ones and search online for someone who offers embroidery as some do tradie shirts and logos on clothing it may be worth a phone call to those sort of places as I know a local one to me does all sorts of work on many things related to embroidery or an alternative choice is the online sites like Temu... EBay etc Let us know how you get on mate good luck. KAA

      2001 Toyota Camry wagon passenger side locks not working

      Gday, I've got a 2001 Camry wagon which has been having locking issues for a while now, just started occurring out of the blue. There is no fob so we manually unlock and lock from the driver side door, however the rear and front passenger doors consistently have issues. Either when we unlock one or both doors don't unlock and must be unlocked from inside the car, or when we lock it one or both don't lock and the car beeps. To fix that, we open the door, lock it from the inside, the lift up the handle and close the door before releasing the handle. That fixes the locking issue. When testing the locks from inside the car, I can see that they partially lock and unlock, so I'm wondering if they need to be replaced entirely or if there's some other way to fix it. Cheers

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      I have a 2002 Hilux that is meant to have a 5le engine but i think it was replaced with a new engine with a turbo before i bought it. Its a different engine compared to what is in the manual - eg the alternator is at the bottom not the top as per the manual. The engine is seized - tried roll starting downhill and wheels just locked up. I cant find what the engine is. Any ideas on where I would find it? Also 5LE engines are hard to find - any ideas on what else i could put in? Does a 1KZ fit?
