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

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
