Deng..I wen't to garage for wheel alignment today but I couldn't get it done. They said the lip kit is too low so the sensors couldn't make proper communication between them. I have no clue about how the wheel alignment works.. I am going to other place tomorrow.. :(

Looks s3xy mate. Good choice in rims. I guess u gonna want to lower your car soon. :)

Looks mint mate. :) My first opinion on mods would be rims and lowering.

I sometimes travel to western surburs, maybe in different time range. Yeah. black is the biiiatch to keep it clean. and the thing is..once I wash my car, it rains next day. That's how it goes. what a dilema.... BTW, where are you about?

wow... Really exotic badge ever I seen.... Good work. I am thikning to paint my one in metal black...

Thanks bro. To be honest, I really have no idea how low it can go more since I have 35 profile tyres. It's just ok for now. The mechanic who fitted them in said it seems like the wheels could go under the fender with a bit of camber adjustment without any issues. but who knows before try it in real life? I may try 2 or 3 weeks later once all the suspensions are working fine without any problems like leaking etc. Here are pics of half(?) turning angle.

Good to hear another aurion driver's here. Presara is the highend of aurion with nice sunroof! I live in Newington, just next of olympic park.

Thanks mate. That's the word I wanted to hear. now I am happy! :D :D :D :D

Hi All. I've been here for a while but I haven't uploaded any pics of mine because I thought my car wasn't ready to take a pic. and it seems like it's ready a bit now. Here are mods done. -Front grill -20"rims -BC Racing Coilovers -Bosch HID 6000K & Led parkers -Auspack 7" Touchscreen HU -Clarion APX1301 + 12" Subwoofer -Rear Parking Sensors Some more to be done soon. Cheers.

HeHe. Somehow from my house I can't get that angle so I took a pic and just flipped it over from photoshop. If you really wanna try out what my plate number is, see my signature. :P

Here's my pic with correct angle and lowered.

Thanks guys. From observing the ride quality of BC racing coilover, I am really impressed so far. No noise at all from the mounts and good overall ride quality. I was trying to set different damping setup(only front because rear seats have to be taken off for the rear setup), and I went upto 16 clicks which is middle of the setup and it was HARD. 5 Clicks from the softest would make nearly same setup as the factory stivo suspension. I went back to 10 clicks from the softest setup tho. I have to get wheel alignment done on monday and will think about getting it lower and camber adjustment as well.

Hey mate. First of all, I am from NZ. And tell you what.. I guess you just should let it go because it's gonna cost at least same as buy one in australia or more if you import from NZ. I was thinking about bring a car to OZ when I moved to Australia but I heard about taxes and complying the car on Australian road would cost nearly same as the car price.. Tried to bring a Toyota V6 Altezza which is nearly same as Lexus IS300 but just gave it up. There's someone from NZ and he brought his altezza into Australia and he nearly spent same money to buy IS300 in australia. To sum up, I do not recommend importing a car from NZ into Australia.

Oops.

That would be great to help other people as a reference to get coilovers.. Thanks mate. Comparing the stock suspension, I could say that there's a huge difference in rolling matter. I can feel the major rolling is gone, although they were sport suspension(toyota says). a little bit bumpier but I think I can get it sorted out with damping setup. As I know, the Gen6 camry and aurion share they chassis so I tired this one and BINGO. As long as the chassis type says GSV40 or ACV40 from the coilover set, it should be fine but NOT 100% sure because I never seen any other barands except BC racing.. I brought this set from a ebay seller but at that time he didn't list any for camry 2006+ so I asked him and he could make a deal on it from the factory. I paid total price of AUD$1285 inc shipping via paypal and he put my order directly to their factory. I can give you his detail if you want. Thanks mate. I think I will try to get it lower once I have some free time.

Finally, I fitted them in today and they work fantastic. I brought my car into garage for fitting and they charged me $200. I am really satisfied with the result of coilovers because I was a bit worried about the chassis type and the stiffness of coilovers. Firstly, the coilovers I bought were for camry 2006+ which is ACV40 in chassis and aurions is GSV40 if I am right. I know they use same chassis but was a bit worried of mis-match in suspension settings. However, everything went well during the installation and everything was perfect fit for bolt on installation. Secondly, the stiffness. I set 10 clicks from the softest for front damping and 5 clicks for rear. I just feel like it's nearly same as the factory sportivo suspensions. The ride height is as the pic and there is no scrubbing at all in any conditions. It's ok for now but I will go a bit lower when I feel like later on. Here are some pics.

Looks hot mate. Good choice on rims too. Glad to see another 20" rims on aurion. :D

If you want to make your car unique, the custom body kit would be the only answer, IMO. You have to define what your purpose is, because your mods all depend on your purpose. If you are looking for some perfomance, you have to focus on perfomance such as engine mods, handling or exhaust. If you are seeking dressup purpose, they would be body kit, lowering springs etc.. Just my 2c...

Have you checked ground on your headunit? It sounds like ground to me.

I finally got the set delivered today and they look fine and solid. Here are some pics and I am now looking for a store to fit them in. Any suggestion in western sydney area? (near Paramatta & homebush?) Also, how much normally would that cost to fit them in and wheel alignment? IMO, either you change the springs or the whole suspensions to coilover will void warranty on suspension in both ways. If there's something wrong with my car, then I will put the original suspensions back into my car but the point is I don't go to Toyota for servicing anymore. My warranty ends July in this year but I don't like how they charge me on servicing. Also, the reason why I am getting the coilover is because of the scrubbing. I have 20" with 35 profile tyres and there's no doubt they will scrub if I just change the springs with 35 profile tyres. It seemed like I have to spend same amount money on either changing whole tyres or suspension upgrade. BTW, I am not going for super low on my car, just lower it a bit to make the look fine.

I don't think there's anyway that snake gets inside of car through under bonnet. I would try with long wood sticks to get rid of it or a golf club maybe? Good luck.

Why don't you try some wreckers? If you are lucky enough, you can purchase it about $10~$20 from wreckers. They should have some.. You're probably right, the trick is finding a wrecker that has an Aurion. That is why we have YELLOW PAGES for. HAHAHA

If the money is not the matter for you, of course it should be the TRD aurion. BTW, SX6 for $39~40k sounds like a bit too much. I've seen someone from this forum bought SX6 for around 33K.

Based on my research, D2, G4 and K-sport, all of their products are from same factory. Just different logo stickers and different colour paint. I actually tried to figure out the overall qulity and price because some ppl have no problem with particular model but some ppl always do on the same kit. Also, I was searching the Tein SS one but camry 2007 kit wasn't available (it was in development)at that time. It is now available only from Thailand Tein supplier but the price of BASIC kit is 48000 Baht (just kit itself) which is about AUD$2100. I am really sure SS would cost alot more than that. Camry 2007+ SS kit is still under development from the Tein USA web site. For the BC racing coilover, the factory spring rate was 6/KG for both front and rear. I upgraded the front to 8kg because Aurion is heavier than camry. IMO, 6kg/front and 4kg/rear is too soft for track use, and it really sounds like street use only. I've seen many ppl complaining that Tein is kinda soft shockies for track use. I really doubt cheap coilover kits work fine on tracks although many ppl having leaking or noise problems from everyday street use. Here are my result of researching(Fully subjective based on my research, so no offence) Under AUD$2000 -D2 -G4 -K-sport -ISC -Megan(?) -NEX -HSD Lots of complains and problems known from D2,G4 and K-sport from the internet. Maybe they supply big amount of their products? I couldn't find much feedbacks on NEX, and ISC. Interestingly, for BC racing, many of their customers are satisfied with their product. I could find couple of noise problems tho. HSD has quite good reputation with their products but nothing for camry or aurion 2007 tho. AUD$2000~$3000 -Cusco -Tein -Buddy club -KONI AUD$3000+ -DMS
