GongStanceZRE152

Zre152 and 182 have the same floor plan as suspension so there's a good chance the exhausts are the same too..

could you do the strut brace any cheaper?
thanks

actually to get the front decently low you do have to compress the spring i have them

im keen on the uni chip
message me on 0408007637 if its available

I did 180's in my corolla... Hand brake went loose

Nek minnit it's at the bottom of my friends driveway back into a concrete pillar with 8800 bucks worth of damage luckily no people around it at the time

And that is why you always leave the car in gear when you park...

it was insurance covered it :) but the handbrake did nothing at all it was that f*cked

took about 30 mins till it happened

You want more grip in the front for obvious reasons and less in the back to limit under steer

Are you providing more grip to the front wheels, or taking grip away from the rear wheels ;)

Springs control body roll, anti-roll bars control the balance.

bit of both

and sway bars control sway or roll haha springs marely control the abilit for the shock to compress and at what rate it pushes out

How she looks so far

Springs don't really sag!! Suspension bushes sag!! Did any of you loosen the bolts off on the rear torsion housing and re index the bushes? I'm guessing not if your car has sagged!!

Fit your springs then loosen off the torsion housing bolts off then just nip it back up. Go for a quick drive and then come back and tighten the bolts up. The bushes are used to sitting in a certain position then you change that position with lowered springs. You have to let the bush find its position with the car lowered. If you don't the bush is under constant twisting pressure trying to hold the car at stock height even thought it is lowered. The rubber in the bush begins to deteriorate in strength and becomes soft. That is where your "sag" comes from. It is the bushes finally saying " I can't stand the pressure anymore" and they soften and twist. Of all the king springs I have fitted over the years I have never seen a set sag more than about 2-3mm. And most of that will be the springs settling in the rubbers in the spring perches.

Kings lows are 35mm drop

Kings super lows are 50 drop

Sportivos sit higher than 1zz by about 10-12mm and they also sit higher in the rear than the front by just on 15mm. If you want the car to sit level and handle a lot better put lows in the front and super lows in the rear. Car will sit almost dead level and handle really nice!! Remember to index the rear bushes!!

Actually a fwd should always sit higher at the back if you want better handling

Sitting level is just for looks and 4wds

You want more grip in the front for obvious reasons and less in the back to limit under steer

(Second year mechanical engineering student for what it's worth, I'm not just guessing)

My zre152 sedan has stiffer sports coils in front and back from Lovells, the front lower 40mm

The back about 50mm which does reduce the huge gap difference it came in but still a lot better, and on top of that I've got a 2 stage kmac rear sway bar, and the car runs on 215/40/17R wheels on 8 inch whose Lexus mags so there's a bit of stretch to stiffen the sideways

I've had impreza drivers and even a r32 golf driver be very surprised how well the car takes corners without over or understeer

Hope this help with anyone looking for handling

this might be unorthodox... but have u tried buying stock shifter assy from the wreckers and putting a hack saw to it?

theres a difference between a shifter thats short and a short throw shifter

if you shorten it its just a smaller shifter arm, short throw changes the pivot point so it has to move less to change gears but leaves the shifter the normal height

can you put up a pic?

and also you wouldnt have a rear sway bar by any chance?

still got the front lip?

oh yea another aztec blue! im not alone anymore :D

haha WOOOO

dont see many of them around, but i actually really like the colour!! :D

it has been lowered with lovells

sports -25 to -40 at the front

and super lows -45 to -60 at the back

soooo happy with the outcome especially the cornering now!!

Relax dude. I wasnt being rude, and it wasnt even sarcasm.

The cost of second hand coilovers is so cheap these days its hard to pass by, and its not difficult at all to make them comfortable. A mate just bought a set that cost him $550 shipped to his door, theyre also the comfy Tein super-streets... just sayin'

If you are an inexpierienced P-plater then drive the car as is, do some motorkhanas and track days to get lots of seat time driving the car hard. It will pay dividends over modified suspension. Then learn what each component does and how it effects the balance of the car... then you start modifying.

came of in a very "do what you want but my way is right" sort of way

anyways to the important issue, well that why i started this so people that upgrade can see id be happy to get second hand for a lower price, having no luck with second hand so far i have to go with new prices :(

im no saying im inexperianced, when i had my turbo hilux i did the engine work and suspension on it once done i was doing hill climbs with 22 psi boost and keeping control. but being a p plater im easily blamed and if worse comes to worse then what do i do? thats my question.. not to sound cocky i know few years experience doesnt match decades but im confident in my driving especially round town but like they say "**** happens"

sorry if it comes off rude the way you put it got to me so let me put it in a better way. i've not enjoyed the ride in a car that had coilovers in it, even tho i do try avoid pot holes and i do slow down for speed humps.. **** happens, and as far as i know all adjustable suspension and non adr approved coilover are a defect and void insurace in case of an accident.

for a set of xyz coilovers.. the only ones iv found cost roughly about $1250 delivered to my door. the springs, sway bars and strut brace would cost me about 750 with out any defect i could find on forums or rta website itself. so for a decant amount less i should be getting quite and improvement on stock which is kind of what im going for

lets say my p plater inexperiance kicks in and i ram a s class and put 20 grand damage into the car.... insurance voids my cover which i already pay over $2000 for full insurance and i have to come up with the money myself? bye bye zre :(

so.... you wanna trade!? :D

please share where you got the grill from!

Still got the stock springs? Please SMS me on 0408007637 if you do I'd like to pick them up tomorrow

Thanks

Thanks for the sarcasm... I love hearing the obvious. Now read my first post compare the price or coil overs to springs, sway and strut bars and tell me how it's still a smart idea to use coilovers

If you want to use them go for it, you suggested them and I nicely replyed that I don't continuing to tell me to use them especially in the manner you choose to is not going to change my mind

THANKS!

yes man that helps alot! lets me se my goals alot better then guess work, casual job and school doesnt make it easy to moddify :(

thanks again :)

We were all on the uni budget once haha so we know. :P A few words of advice, just go at your own pace, don't rush your decisions and enjoy the journey. :)

haha yeah waiting for my springs now and still 2-3 weeks till theyre ready the suspense is kinda nice in a way :)

Get coilovers. Run a slightly stiffer rear spring (I say 8kg front 9kg rear) and you can leave the stock sways in and it will handle fine. Save up and get decent tyres after that.

well i dont want coilovers anytime soon as for daily driving ive had horrible experiances with them,... unless they 3 grand street ones they tend to be track oriented so speed humps and pot holes which i tend to run into from time to time will be trouble =[

Just buy an RSB - best bang for buck mod

where from? how much?

if you do want rear swaybar, cusco and kmac make them, cusco is 16mm and kmac 20mm. iv got the kmac on mine with stock suspension and it made a noticeable difference. next for me is coilovers (after intake and exhaust that is haha)

google kmac suspension or greenline.jp for the cusco

thanks man ill give it a look
