  5. RDA discs for ZZE123R: RDA7784SL Front Left (275 x 50 x 25, 55, 4) RDA7784SR Front Right (275 x 50 x 25, 55, 4) RDA7780SL Rear Left (269 x 56 x 9, 55, 4) RDA7780SR Rear Right (269 x 56 x 9, 55, 4) QFM (Queensland Friction Materials) for ZZE123R (same as bendix part nos): Front: DB1431 Rear: DB1429
  6. That's why I provided 3 measurements. The increased height of the rear left is going to make the front left sag faster than the rest, just like the stock springs, sigh.
  7. Car: 2005 ZZE123R facelift Suspension: KYB Excel G, King Low Front, Superlow Rear Tyres: New 215/45R17 (625mm diameter) Vertical from ground to guard: Front Right 640 Front Left 640 Rear Right 640 Rear Left 650 Sideskirt ground clearance: Front Right 155 Front Left 155 Rear Right 155 Rear Left 165 Center of wheel to bottom of guard derived from first measurement: Front Right 330 Front Left 330 Rear Right 330 Rear Left 340
  8. I got about 10mm clearance at the moment, so I'm going to play it safe and just get KYB's and a couple of smallest camber bolts from Toyota. Thanks for effort taking the pic.
  9. He got back to me. $750 for 4 shocks and 2 pairs springs. Done deal.
  10. Tempe but I wouldn't recommend them. http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...showtopic=18585
  11. I've been trying to get a hold of the boys at Kaizen Garage without success. I'll probably go with Lows/Superlows + KYB ExcelG, though I'm considering the toyota option springs. The only problem with them is the rear will most likely still be too high. That's a big risk seeing how they're $100 dearer than a set of Kings. I put standard height kings in my last corolla after having lows and it was awesome, standard had the same handling as lows, but weren't a pain in the *****. Also getting slotted brake discs because the factory ones need machining. Sway bar's been on back order for weeks now.
  12. I'm assuming any company who's not a forum sponsor we can talk about uncensored? On Tuesday last week I ordered a set of 17"s with 215/45R17 tires, I received them yesterday (Brisbane). This is what I ordered: 4x 17" Lenso Light S2 4x 215/45R17 Sumo Firenza ST-08 91W 4x hub insets set wheel nuts This is what I received yesterday after a week: 4x 17" Lenso Light S2 4x 215/45R17 Kenda Kaiser KR20 87W 4x hub insets set wheel nuts Here's the list of issues I encountered: - When I ordered the staff seemed to ignore all the previous email correspondence. One of them called me back and tried to tell me the tires I was ordering wouldn't fit at all and that I needed 205/45R17, obviously so it cost them less. - Tires sat in the Brisbane depot for 4 days, I emailed Tempe for assistance but got no response at all. I had to call TNT twice a day to get something done. - I didn't get the agreed tires. - There's no confirmation of my order before they sent it out obviously, otherwise I might have noticed they changed what I ordered without informing me. - Unless I missed it somehow, I didn't receive a receipt. Update: a day after fitting them I thought I better check the pressures. They ranged from 37 to 55 - above the maximum written on the sidewall!!!! Update 2: I emailed them and asked for an invoice, why different tires were fitted and why the pressures were awful, and my questions were completely ignored but I should get an invoice in the mail, big whoop. Update 3: Went to Bob Jane Toombul, had it booked in at 9, they didn't start till 10:30. When they finally finished at 11:30, they said each wheel was out by 20g. So Tempe didn't balance any of the wheels either in addition to not doing the pressures correctly. Next time I'll order from Taleb Tyres instead, they were much more helpful and responsive, but $50 more expensive.
  13. Went with the white, to be different. These with tires weight EXACTLY the same as stock Sportivo alloys with tires. 17.8Kg. <moved photos to top of thread>
  14. GSL Rallysport at Brendale, QLD 1300 884 836 sales@gslrallysport.com 1 set only, after which they're $3400. Tell them I told you.
  15. Car: 2005 ZZE123R facelift Suspension: stock (3 years old, 60k km) Tyres: New 195/55R16 (620mm diameter) I've taken 2 measurements on 2 sets of flat ground: Vertical from ground to guard: Front Right 675 Front Left 680 Rear Right 690 Rear Left 700 Sideskirt ground clearance: Front Right 190 Front Left 195 Rear Right 205 Rear Left 215 Center of wheel to bottom of guard derived from first measurement: Front Right 365 Front Left 370 Rear Right 380 Rear Left 390 Difference between left and right is 5mm front and 10mm rear. Difference between front and rear is 15mm on right and 20mm on left. It would be good if i could get springs 20mm lower at front and 35mm lower at rear to go with new shocks, suggestions? Anyone who wants to measure up and compare, post them up here.
  16. The price of the PZQ8112020 Sportivo spring set from Toyota is $333. The price of the Toyota OEM springs is $119 ea spring. Toyota Camber adjustment bolts (not sure if you can get these or how much): 90105-15004 Toyota Camber 0.75" (45') 90105-15005 Toyota Camber 1.00" (1") 90105-15006 Toyota Camber 1.25" (1" 15')
  17. One thing I don't understand is how the springs can come down beside the tyre on coilovers? There's about 20mm gap between the stock tyres and the stock strut. 17x7"'s will cut that in half and the springs on coilovers are wider than a stock strut body...
  18. 2510 including springs. Also what spring rate to get for comfort like the tein super wagon? Ta
  19. Holy **** that's AK, I thought he moved to Sydney...
  20. Hehe yeah I bought from him a couple years ago come to think of it ... or it might have been another Brad in Brisbane, theres so many of them!
  21. I've got these prices from Bursons Stafford: Kings Front Low KTFL-105 $135.00 Rear Low KTRL-106 $135.00 KYB FR 334376 $155.00 FL 334377 $155.00 Rear 341338 $152.00 x2 TOTAL $890.00 Pedders are about $200 more expensive i.e. $1090.00 for a full set. Anyone know where to get struts and springs below $800.00? Stupid exchange rate!

    Tint

    I had 20% for 1 weekend, it was FAR too obvious and too dark at night also. 35% on the other hand hardly seems worth it, but much safer than 20%.
  23. I've already ruled out white but included them anyway for completeness. White may look the best clean, but the absolute worst dirty. Wheel choices: Before: After: Even more after:
