5amchris 45 Report post Posted March 13, 2011 Use to be a thread about peoples cars before and after they had some work done but cant find it so meh. Well i got some V-Maxx Coilovers from HaNs got them installed and it only dropped about 20MM from where it was before the install. After driving it for a few days i was unhappy spending 1k on springs and 500 on a cert for only 20MM drop. so took the car in to TSV and got him to have a good play around. He removed the back adjuster and added some rubber things to stop the spring from moving around dropped 55MM more. He then took to the front and made me a new set of springs changed the bumper stop and got 50MM more of a drop from them. I go a phone call from TSV and he said the height i want it cant be done without some work to the guards and he then needed to bring the car up around 25MM so i could get 40% wheel turn So Before any work was done. Coilovers installed After the work done front up 25MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CamB 48 Report post Posted March 13, 2011 stiiiinkkk. Even though its still not as low as you'd like, its pretty low! Looks good too. You just need to sort the guards (and maybe avoid judder bars). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5amchris 45 Report post Posted March 13, 2011 Not even judder bars man everything! I dont know if Palmerston North has sh*t roads/Drives but dont see how pjay can be much lower =D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CamB 48 Report post Posted March 13, 2011 If you want the low... you gotta pay the price. That's why mine still looks a little hilux. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreadful1 7 Report post Posted March 13, 2011 Wow that looks great on the lowest setting haha, you can work the guards for it to fit I'm wanting mine to get that low but thinking about the prices that will come with it isnt really worth it to me yet haha! All you need now is some colorful wheels that stick out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1039 Report post Posted March 16, 2011 O and this happened =/ You need to run bigger wheels to get the look you're after and not have these sorts of problems. Also look at firming you shocks up to help stop this when turning if your gonna run that low. Car looks pretty sweet though! .. nice work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kerry 10 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 did you hit a curb to get your alignment that bad ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2312 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 Nice examples. Big contrast in height next to the stock Sedan! Also, with the black grilles next to the stock finish grilles, I can say I prefer the factory look more. The 'black' look seems unfinished IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
