I'll apologise for the repetitive questions first up, its a little confusing trying to understand what certain suspension parts do and react. I'm wanting to improve my handling with some whiteline parts but am not sure whats needed and whats over the top?

Currently have...

- Lowered springs and aftermarket shocks

- Front and rear strut braces

Looking at getting the 'Handling Pack'...

- Front and rear sway bars

- Front castor kit

- Rear camber kit

I'll probably also get a set of Pineapples, I plan on hitting the track in the future, so is there anything else I should consider, front camber kit maybe?...

I don't know much about handling mods, but i was under the impression sway bars do alot more than strut braces...

yes that's right, you'll notice better handling characteristics with sway bars compared to strut braces.

Strut braces really only come into effect when your pushing the car hard through the corners.

This is what has been recommended by Whiteline for starters, its nice to actually get a company (Whiteline) that takes time to explain stuff to noobies, its what really clinches sales in my book...

Hmm, well I would recommend the castor bushes (or better still adjustable castor rods) before camber adjustors.

Camber adjusters are only of use really if you have too much camber have your alignment checked before jumping in and buying these

My 2c worth

salival, rear strut brace doesnt make as much difference unfortuneately - go the sway bars.

    • 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.
