i originally took em out for moar lows why do you wanna put em in?

just get a 2nd hand set of coilovers or something..

helper springs compress your coilover springs so they dont fly around when you lift a wheel off the ground haha. People put them in so they can go more low without springs popping out of the seats!

I need to put some in, cause any lower and will pop out.

Paid a pretty penny for my new Bilstein shocks, which are far better than any chinese coilovers. Would be silly to bin them for more lows. Need to just spend more money to convert them to coilovers ~_~

East Bear

A trader used to sell em on here, but only had the beige/tan color which I wasn't a fan of, black was pretty rare...think they were something like $800 a piece back in the day + rails...I had Bride rails on em which aren't cheap either

Thought you'd be keen as mustard for footy training if you're so into running..

It's more the session times I can't deal with, rather than cbfs about training. Work sometimes holds me back late and Tues + Thurs are gym nights for me. Thirds is more about punch ons than footy though!

lol they pop out but they'll go back in place during/after compression. they were a bit noisy after i took em out but it dropped the height another inch or so.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
