ive got the same KYB's and lowerd kings not the super lows though. not bad i think they are a progressive rate, the coils get tighter closer to the top. comfy to ride on uneven roads and pritty stable during a spirited hills run. i would recommend some decent bump stops too. i also have whiteline adjustable sway/roll bars front/back. seem ok for now.

thanks for the feedback mate the guy at wholesale suspension blacktown told me they were going to be linear springs and the super lows were progressive rate, i haven't seen them yet so im not sure. maybe he has them mixed up.

lol. or i do. i might have super lows then. the springs definatly look progressive rate. thinking about it i actually had to take em back the first time because the inner spring diamiter was too small. shop ordered in some more so this time they might have gotten the super lows..

Anti Roll bars (sway bars) are for reducing body roll. For springs to do it, they would be so heavy your teeth would fall out!

The Elk is correct. If you want handling performance and elimination of body roll get sway bars. These are the single best thing you can do to increase performance of your car. Lowering a car won't reduce body rool - it will simply roll from a lower center or if it rolls too much hit bumpstops (bad thing). If you want to lower it for appearance purposes, thats different.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
