I'm still wondering how much longer the factory shocks are going to last. Hopefully by the time they do blow, there will be aftermarket replacements made to go with lowering springs. i worry about that everytime i drive it....how do you know when they are going out? In your case, I'm fairly sure you will know when they are gone, or getting really close to... especially in the rear. Visual signs are oil leaking from the strut, and excessive bounciness when you push down firmly and releasing one of the struts. While driving you may notice it bottoming out more and hitting the bump stop, and it may feel a little more bouncy after going over a bump. Also as well, if they are stuffed, braking hard will cause more nose dive, and accelerating hard from a stop will certainly feel a little different. mmmmm nice one to get me worried lol....thanks for info tho ill certainly look of for it....if there is nothing aftermaket going around when they cark it, i cant even emagine what toyota would charge for a whole set, the thought is really scary they are such a rip! i think ill be going JIN styles....coilovers FTW

as i said never bottomed out on my kings, bump stops not changed and it was a 33 front and 50 rear drop.....i think u will also find its alot more than 30 mills ps. put a new thread up with some pics of the new wheels

yeh i couldnt emagine the practicality of superlows it would just be u in the car at all time otherwise fail....coilovers is the only way...im happy with mine tho...its high enoguth to have a full car and with very subtle driving u can get away with no scraping and bottoming out but low enough to look tough and have a bit of a laugh when u actually have to chuck people out to get over somthing lol daryl, dips in the ground FTW hahah get a really big one and ull be under the ground HAHAHAHA

No, I am very happy with the 19's I have now and will stay with that size... i really like your current rims tho why the change? and with the new rims they will look alot smaller that your current ones cos they have a dish

i dont fully undertand wat it is really u want out of this thread? please explain?

no idea probly 20 mills....why are u worried about it anyway, if legal ground clearance is what your worried about its not the skirts that u should be worried about its the exhaust at about the Y section where the cars lowest point is

Thanks mate. It's a S, SL only comes in black and silver I believe. Yeah I saw that thread about removing the bumper bar. Had a look the engin bay, head lights conversion shouldn't be too hard, but not sure about the fog lights. Eventually I will change the mufflers, have to see how quick I get bored with the quietness. (it sounds sweet when I floor it though) Am thinking of strut brace too. where do you get yours? Cheers! yeh that nice purr come out alot with the mufflers but its still quiet enough. have a look on the ultra racing thread on here, strut brace helps alot! costs about 230 delivered, and the rear sway bar which is supposed to be reall good to is about 100 more. good luck with ur mods mate! ull get hooked after 1 ;)

just a question seeing im going into depression cos i cant make this years meet, where will next years be?

welcome mate :) white is a really nice colour in the TRD, HID's are a little tricky on the aurion but there are threads about it, and how to remove the front bar. K&N drop in is a good start, or even some mufflers if u want a little bit of a note (if your that way incline) look forward to seeing some pics :) S or SL?

do u mean bottoming out the suspension or scratching the front or rear? cos i have been pretty close to bottoming out a few time from pot holes and rough mountain roads, in turms or scraping.....yes all the time u just have to angle it hardcore. front bar cops it a bit, exhast tips get scraped when reversing down driveways but the center of my car is the worst the exhaust scratches most speed bumps, scratches from the middle of the skirt until the back wheel goes over. not fun at shopping centers where theyhave 5 in a row and there all the tabletop ones that are like 4m long, u belly out somethin severe cos all 4 wheels are on the downslope lol have to get ur mates out for each one lol

thank heaps for all your help jason!! u were a real asset to this forum....ill look out for a black 350 in the area ;)

you would probly find that if you did 2 or 3 runs you would have gotten better figures because of the learning computer, unless you were upping it the whole way to the shop. 1 run is fair enough when uve only done 1000k's tho harly run in yet.

are they 2 piece?

5 working days usually.....thanks evo =D

calling evo...whats going on?

the track car journey begins.....i like!!

Why didn't you have that when I saw your car :( Looks hot man, will look better with a nice shiny intake sitting right next to it. ohh stop.....ur getting me exited lol im counting down the sleeps to ill get it dont u worry ;) BK...paint it black if the majority of stuff under there is black.....or red if u want to increase ur Kw

what colour is it now? it was 70 bucks and then i did the blue writing myself

BEWYAAA....done and dusted
