  1. You got new 2012 already?

    I thought the new Camry range was only released this or last week?

    :D

    I was taking a look around on Thursday morning, and to my surprise, I spot an 'Aurion', I would've expected a 'Camry' but no, an 'Aurion'. So, I plonk my money down, and it gets delivered Friday afternoon!

    The Aurion, will not be officially released until mid to late first quarter.

  2. What is extension in coilovers for?? Is it to adjust the height of the car or to adjust the dampers, and how are they related?

    Adjust the dampers. They are for the rears, in the Aurion the top of the coilover sits out of sight within the wheel arch somewhere, so the flexible extension connects to that and hangs out somehwere in your boot so you can tune it with having to remove the wheels.

  3. And of course, they are 20s. :) And Staggered.. :D

    They are on the back right now, sitting and waiting till Monday. *Fingers crossed* :rolleyes:

    oooooohhhhh nice.......so when are you free to meet up, Monday night? :rolleyes:

    Are the coilovers in? Front Strut, Rear Sway?

  4. The above link is the price you should be paying for the wheels from a Toyota Dealer (That ebay link is from a large Sydney Toyota Dealership)

    Kumho KU27 - These tyres are silent and comfortable, have a long tread life, and they are very cheap!

    Kumho KU31 - These tyres have more grip, but are noiser, and a bit more expensive.

    If you just want a smooth and comfortable tyre, go for the KU27! (I don't think you will be able to get a better price than from the above link, but do ask around at you local tyre stores!)

    Thanks for that! In comparison to other brands like say Bridgestone, Dunlop etc. what are the advantages of getting this brand? And as for installation, would a Toyota Dealer do it for me? Or are there stores that would do it for much cheaper? I live in the western suburbs btw :D

    Bridgestone/Dunlop/Good Year, if you go ask a tyre store, would be nearly double the price per tyre. Main advantage is price.

    Toyota will be able to install it all, for a fee. Any tyre store would be able to do it as well, for less.

  5. Could somebody point me in the right direction for the tyres I should be looking at?

    At the moment, I'm looking at these (17" Kappa)

    http://www.ebay.com....#ht_1844wt_1180

    According to the seller, they're best suited with 225/45R17 91H

    Are there brands that I should be avoiding? Some have the description of 'best suited for racing/performance' but I'm not a hoon. LOL. I'm just looking for something that will make a smooth and comfortable drive.

    I've enquired my local Toyota dealer about the price and I think they said around 1.5k+ just for the wheels. Does this sound right?
