It's Christmas already.
  Actually, she's cool about my problems. The only thing she said was "think of all the shoes I could buy with that sort of money". Trust me when I tell you that you don't want to know how much. Clutch and flywheel next. Decat going on on Thursday. Suspension rebuild this weekend. I'm going to have to move insurance companies as well. We continue. -------------------- JDM ST205

In bucks.
Once fitted and sorted out. Somewhere in excess of two and a half big ones. Probably nearer three to be honest. -------------------- JDM ST205

Springs and struts....seems like a grand at most is suting. Then some camber junk and downpipe would maybe be up to $700. What brands are these parts, and why so expensive?

[right][snapback]214758[/snapback][/right] When it's superstrut suspension for a sixty thousand dollar car with TRD other bits, lots and lots. The lower suspension arms are five hundred bucks alone. Each. The camber control joints another 100 or so. 80 bucks for the top mounts (and you need four of them), and 3-400 hundred for each of the front shocks. The TRD springs were only about 400 bucks. Which I thought was reasonable. You need to remember that this is a very rare car, with very trick suspension. It's corrispondingly expensive. Most the bits were shipped from Japan, and I live in the rip-off capital of the world. Right now, I don't care.

Nice upgrades Mr. E. You will have to report back on performance of the suspension upgrades.
On a slightly off-topic note, I just have to say your sig on celica.net is priceless. My conversations with my wife like that have convinced her that I need therapy. Oh well, it wouldn't be a hobby if you didn't think about it, right? -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

You should get the TRD Shock set as well.
Stock Shocks with TRD Springs would still be "too soft" for high speed driving and cornering. What clutch + flywheel are you going for?? |
