  1. tyre load ratings: ____Load Index___081 082 085 086 087 090 092 095 096 Max Load/tyre (kg) 462 475 515 530 545 600 630 690 710 at least the wheel is way above the load rating of your tyre which would be between 87-91 typically. http://www.bridgestone.com.au/tyres/produc...re/markings.asp
  2. yes so far xoom your setup looks the nicest :) was it an easy install??? i wounder if the zze123 and zze122 have the same pickup mounting points for the callipers
  3. thanks for that i replaced all my stock earths with 1/0 gauge car audio wire. I pulled all the stock wires out and it took 2 weeks to make new ground wires i couldnt remember where the stock wires use to go. NOte to self never rely on other people to terminate wires for you even if its for free. the pictures really helped, i better go out and check to see if i placed them in the right spot. i did go to the s/h toyota car yard to "have a look" at some corollas to see where the originals went. With the sales guy being really pushy and annoying it was too hard to see where all the wires were meant to be. thanks again for all your help this site rocks keep up the great work
  4. thanks guys for your informative comments. another car i use for some fun on sprint days its a crappy little home made kit thing with rear wheel drive (got a 4age in it so its basically a toyota). you are spot on with all the comments however with this kit car when i changed from 2 to 3 degrees on the front wheels negative camber on R spec tyres initial turn in was more precise and instant and corner speed was slightly increased with a more stable exit. 3 second gain @ winton with this adjustment. It wasnt just better and more stable cornering but you could turn in with more confidence. With the change in camber the car had another wheel alignment so that toe was adjusted to the standard of no toe in or out "0" toe. I did prefer the higher camber setting for turn in feel, it just felt so much better and made me smile. been reading a few articles about toe in/out in reguards to suspension height. I assume this might be controlled by caster or height / position of the steering rack (bump steer). The article mentioned that you might have in a static situation 0 toe or 1mm toe out. But what happens when the suspension is under load. If the suspension toes in under load/ spring compression then to maintain the arc you input you would actually need to back off the steering (which really is a bit unnatural). Where as if you can make the suspension toe out slightly when compressed then you would need to input a little more to maintain the arc, which in theory should be alot more natural instinct for a driver. Sounds interesting anyway but sometimes you just dont get enough track time or money for that matter to test these things. thanks for your help regards jonathon
  5. i thought all coilovers came with a ball pillow mount with a camber adjustment plate. sounds like they are optional extras camber adjustment would be nice thing to have. i thought lowering would = more negative camber which means better turn in on track but more wear for road tyres.
  6. i was told if i wanted to get DMS that i would have to use the original tops of the suspension??? what does that mean??? can you buy aftermarket tops?? whats the deal with this???
  7. Ive have only seen one car so far that has attempted a brake conversion. what is involved in this??? how do you get the caliper and disc to align, do you use the stock mounts for the calipers??? what modifications are needed?? and what is the usual cost???
  8. from what ive heard so far they seem to be the most versatile coilover for a corolla on the market.
  9. anyone have first hand experience with DMS coilovers??? they look like something that would fit my needs and then some thanks to everyone on this forum everyone is so friendly and so very helpful thanks so much regards jonathon
  10. as people might be aware standard ze122 corollas have load ratings of 88...unlike the sportivo version which is 87!!!!! so when i bought sportivo rims the only road legal 205/50/16 tyre was the TOYO Proxes 4 91V watch out too if you do get sportivo rims to get the special wheel nuts with them. The standard wheel nuts do not fit.
  11. thanks for your help so when i have a look at all the catalogues tomorrow ill look for NZE121 rather than trying to find a ZE122
  12. ive just spent 4 hours looking for coil-overs for my corolla ze122r sedan....i can not find any listing on any tein or cusco books 2006/07 i have no idea what will fit this car since there is no listing for this car in ANY of these catalogues. TODA has listing for ze12# so do i assume that all ze12# parts fit sportivos, standard 1zzfe engined cars ,sedans and wagons of the same year??? im looking for a coilover that has variable height and variable dampening settings. Cusco zero 2 looked like a nice option however i have yet to find a product number for this item thats designed for the 1zzfe corolla sedan. due to different rear end weights i require a coilover setup (sub box and amps are removeable..and thats over 100kgs in total). any help would be greatly appreciated :) regards jonathon
  13. i use both crimp then solder, best of both worlds :)
