i never measured but custom springs can go much lower but with original shocks they will go much faster

Lovells make 65mm drop springs, you gotta be careful with spring sag with them tho lol. Pack the ccar up in the back and it'll dump like crazy :o

Additionally your stock shocks will just explode evenutally with these in, and you're well off checking the bump stops as well just in case.

I have to admit, if you're going really low a simple set of ride height adjustable coilovers is probably the best go. It's like riding around on 4 poles if you tune it that way lol.

My shocks died 6 months ago so i had to replace them, when i was going over bumps with the old shocks, i was hitting the bump stops without anyone in the back. On really big bumps i was hitting the front ones as well. I havent hit the front since the upgrade :D

If you drop your car real low without upgrading the shocks - please don't do any spirited cornering (not that you should be on the road anyway). Once you hit a sudden rise/bump in the road at decent speed and subsequently run out of suspension travel/hit the bump stops, you're in REAL trouble.

Oh also if something like that happens, you'll probably back off/hit the anchors.... and aroooouuunnnd you gooooo! Back-off oversteer bites you on the @ss :P

I don't get it, are the stock shocks in the stivo really that crap? lol. because i see on the rexnet and ozhonda forums alot of people upgrade their springs without shocks and they seem to work fine.

they were designed for standard travel and when you lower the travel the shocks wear out faster on any car. you can use the factory shocks but just be prepared that when you operate outside what they were made for they can wear out faster.

Yeah.

The lower you go, the harder they work, the sooner they die.

So upgrade when your stockers are passed it! :toast:

second vote for Lovells superlows being the lowest.

Agreed there Dylan. They are the lowest that are readily available.

would that mean you gotta roll the gaurds and stuff...

not necessarily. depends on the offest of your wheels. Stocko's shouldn't touch on the lip of the guard.

King Superlows, Upgraded shocks and 3 people in the back causes my car to hit the bump stops. Thats a 50 odd mm drop.

So what happen if u upgrade to superlow without upgrade the shock?

what are the upgraded shocks?? If they are adjustable then what are they adjusted to???

Put superlows in and Sportivo shocks will die in no time. They will begin to leak oil, then start to creak as well as the constant hitting of the bump stops will cause them to split. Not sure if 1zz shocks die as quick but the Stivo ones drop their bundle in about 15k of putting springs in.

To replace the stock Sportivo or 1zz shocks with koni's that are adjustable will set you back about $1000 -1100. they have just had a price rise so not sure of exact amount. PM if you want to know more and I'll see if I can help :D

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      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.
