order last 1

I bought a set of TRD brakes from Ebay. They are genuine and perform really good! But I got charged $100 for installing them. <_<

Where is the best place for install them? I mean balance between the price and work they do.

This is the reason why I asked this question in the beginning. Couldn't find out the figure for Kings! But some1 told me they are harder than Teins!

Hi guys,

I am thinking of put Kings super low spring on my 05 Sportivo

.....Super Low Front: KTFL-105SL

.....Super Low Rear: KTRL-106SL

Will they fit my car or they are only for pre-facelift? How stiff is that? 3-4K?

Thanks guys

Sheldon, the cars are the same no difference between the suspension of 03/04 and 05 sportivos.

I have a set of superlow front and rear springs, I will swap for your Tein's if you like.

who's got the Teins??

are they any good?? compeared to king spring??

i just got a qoute of $540 to get a set of Tein springs fitted...

is that good??

hi, I got Teins springs on my sportivo. It is cool for daily driving and provide much better controling than the stock. Also the car looks good! But now I am seeking more performance and hard cornering.

Tein is definitely more expensive than Kings. They said it is gentler to the stock shocks.

sounds like a deal you can't refuse!!!! win win all round!!

Really? I would like to do that. :D Thank you so much~~

I drove Karen's car with Kings springs. Felt lots of better than mine honestly.

Plan to get cusco sway bar as well.

It is not me obivously. But I am wondering how fast our Sportivo can run up to on this road. (It should be much faster than that!)

I am sorry to hear about this, mate. I had one on my car as well couple of months ago. I used touch paint to get it covered. Result is not that good and it is still looked obivous. :(

Some one should give those scums a "lesson"~~

Hi mate, Have you got anything back from Toyota yet? I have the same problem as well! :(

We need more ideas Guys~~

I have seen this ad. But I think it is saying the 1ZZ corolla. Not our sportivo! <_<

Thanks dude~~

It is cool to ride low... handling is so good!

like to do my car in this way. You can see the progress~~~

Spot a red stock sportivo in Woden at 5:40 yesterday.

I always get a chuckle out of the almost standard response to car comparison threads on this forum. these include, but are not limited to:

"It all comes down to the driver", "It's stupid to compare cars"....etc

first off, the whole point of owning different cars is to compare them. bring up all their good aspects and all their downfalls. that is the whole point - otherwise we'll all be driving standardised Holden "yobo"dores.

also, the whole "the driver makes the car" excuse is like a stupid school kid trying to come up with an excuse why he didn't do his homework. There is absolutely a way to measure which is the faster car. If you have to rely on the other driver to mis-shift for you to win a race, then there's seriously something wrong.

IMO if indeed the Sportivo is slower than a comparable car, the humble thing to do would be to just admit it. This forum is open to the public and we all just look like complete tools when a few of us make ego-driven farsical claims. I know the Sportivo is not the fastest car on the street - I've had egg on my face many times to prove it. but i don't drive fast enough on the street (anymore) to notice the difference so i don't care. The performance it does have makes me happy, so again, i don't care.

anyway, that's my 2cents.

Nice conclusion!

But still Sportivo, FTW~~~

Any cold air intake will give you power... been proven many times.

Sheldon next time we meet you can drive my car with the intake and CES exhaust - definately more power down low as well as up top.

Really? Cool~~ Thanks dude!

1. Cruise to coast perhaps?

2. Local cruise, photoshoot, lunch somewhere, poking badgers with spoons perhaps

3. Go-Karting

4. BBQ & Panitball

5. Moter Show

6...

FTW

Do a search on this forum it will provide you with peoples experience etc...Not a fan of repeat topics turning up time and time again

I did search man~~ I just follow this topic discuss with u guys! <_<

Getting decent sound instead of losing perpformace... I still can not decide whether should go for it or not. <_<

maybe should get whole exhaust changed together.

some1 memtioned it is slower on the low end (1000~3000rpm) with just the CAI mod. Does that mean the car's performace will actually be slower? By modifying the car, we always expect it to be either faster or stabler. But CAI doesn't help in this case. (sorry for a very noobie question!)

yeah... I just bought my Tein spring from them. Haven't put them on yet! But it is cheapest source I could find in Canberra region. Get a quote from them if you need anything!

These are my sportivos shoes. ENJOY

wow... Nice wheels! What is on the second one and the third one? They are hot~~

LOL.... now i remember....it was you order_last 1 that i followed back to belco....

and then when i wasnt paying attention you missed the turn, and i followed you :lol:

damn uriarra road! U-Turn FTW!

I always miss that turn! 1 time it took me 1/2 hour to realise that! :P

wow~~ Rod knows everyone drives sportivo! I think it is the one.

Spotted a white corolla at Commonwealth Ave at 5:15. Debadged, White rims. make nice sound! :D

If you mod both cars.(regardless the money issue) Could you get the close result?
