back skirts have been painted and installed .... tomorrow Apexi AFC neo will be installed and tuned along with bigger exhaust and CAI

hey b_rhyno!

im liking your rear skirt! where did you get them from? know where i can get them from the internet?

thanks

danstar,,

if you want really low,, then these are for you... out of the box, the set hight is pretty low already,, 1 finger gap front and back... and the fronts can still drop another 8-10cm!!!! i'm sure you'll be draging your front bumper if you drop it that low,, and the back can still drop about 5cm more..

these will stop that bounce that your talking about (i use to get it with my pedders) and i'm sure these will be more then hard enough, i haven't gone pass 20 clicks from full soft yet but they get pretty damn hard.. i think these would suit wat your looking for..

Guni,,

theres no noise at all from the coilovers,, it just road noise,, mainly cause theres no rubber used at all...you can just hear and feel the wheels on the road more.. it's better cause you get more feedback from the steering wheel..

on full soft they are only slightly stiffer then my pedders on stock shocks.. (but no where near as soft as my standard "boat" suspension)

on full soft my miss's only noticed a difference when we went over large hard bumps, like railway crossing or ripple strips..

i think its cause these shocks have less travel then stock shocks, so they don't absorb as much...

i also run high tyre pressure 38psi..

i can't imagine them being harder then the cusco's, as they are 7kg fronts and 5kg rears..

as Guni said they are way cheaper from ebay.. but i didn't get them from ebay i got them from OTR,, i paid abit more but if i have any problems (even after warranty is out) i have a workshop that i can take them to and they provide full service and replacement parts..

awesome! i was planning to get them from OTR too! my brother got his BC's for 1500 from OTR dont know if that how much you paid too?

awesome! do they get really low? im thinking of getting myself a set of BC's too for the following reasons:

1. to get my car really low (1 to no finger gap in between tyre n body) lol

2. to have better handling

3. to reduce sag or bounce because my king springs sag and bounce heaps when i have passengers in the back! (I want it to be really stiff that it will hurt my back! lol)

how much did you pay for them? i was quoted $1500

I have yet to receive anything from Evan/Evo and when I do, I'll post it up here and the Melb mob can collect it from me.

Cheers.

awesome!! thanks Guni!

Thanks Guys,

hi everyone! ive been on this forum for a few months now and i think its time that i introduce my car and myself.

my name is Dan and i live in melbourne and ive got a 2003 corolla sportivo in cascade blue.

This was when i first bought the car! I was so wrapped upgrading from a yaris to a sportivo!

First mod i did was the typical grille and eyelids

Next I spray painted my calipers red

Debadged the back

Then I colour coded my mudflaps

8000k HIDs with standard foggies, gives that look that most european cars have

My list of future mods are:

grey powder coat stock rims

white neons for the interior

blue illuminated door sills

coilovers (not sure which ones to get but i would prefer cheap ones)

F&R strut/sway bars

headlight tint

here are a few pics that i took with my bro's new canon 450D dslr camera after i washed my car

this is a photshopped pic of what i want my stivo to look like with the grey powder coated rims and hopefully the coilovers can get it this low!

ill take some pics of my current sound system and interior of my car and keep you guys posted!

hope you guys like it,

cheers!

hey guys, i was thinking of spraying my stock sportivo rims too but has anyone had any problems with the clear coat peeling? especially when washing rims, would that wear down the clear coat?
