    my first set of coilovers on my uza70

    I know what you mean, you're just saying it wrong. The stroke on the front shocks is too short, it has TOO little travel. It's something like 4.25" or so. And with a close to stock rate spring, if I remember right, well over half of that travel is eaten up. You'll also notice that the stock...

    Anti roll bar stiffness table

    Didn't I explain it all when I first posted that? I thought I did and it would save you time from having to retype everything.

    bilstein part numbers

    They aren't damping adjustable, they just have a couple c-clip grooves for rough height adjustment.

    Best Rims For Red 1989?

    There's just so many better colors for wheels. Black wheels just fill up the wheel well with nothingness. It's almost as bad as color matched wheels. Do white or gold or copper or anything but black.

    Black rims are bad news.

    Still wanting a cofortable ride..?

    Coilovers generally ride stiffer. They use cheaper dampers and don't always have the best selection. Meaning it seems like they'll have a range of dampers with different valving that they can use on anything they make. Sometimes the weight and spring rate of what they're going on will work...

    Coilover shock eye bushings..

    It's not the delrin that would break, it would be the shock that would see the damage. The amount of stress on the damper from street driving is still a lot. I would switch to polyurethane if I were you. But then again, if the rubber mounts were destroyed from use, then I doubt the...

    Coilover shock eye bushings..

    Delrin is only a good bushing material when the part rotates about a constant axis. Any misalignment with the shock will result in a bending load that the shock does not want to see and it will greatly decrease the life of the damper and could, in the worst case, result in a failed part. I...

    How do you still keep coming into this thread and putting up with the same ridiculous questions over and over?

    tien ss.. what swaybars?

    Does the car understeer a lot or is it balanced? Do you only want to change something because you feel like the rear is rolling too much? How low is the car? The spring rates don't look too bad. I mean they seem like a better split than some of the other cheap coilovers out there...

    Advice on swaybar choice

    Why waste a couple hundred on sway bars instead of just saving that for coilovers? Or just get new bushings and endlinks. And save the rest of the money for cooler stuff.

    front end rebuild

    Unless they race the ferrari's then no. Find a shop that will suggest good specs for your car or a shop that will align the car to your specs. But then again, you just have lowering springs on a supra. And it sounds like a daily driver. So it's probably not that critical. I mean it...

    Super now tie rod ends

    The ones midnight mk3 posted have that inner piece that can increase steering angle. They work, but I don't really like them. They basically just allow the rack to travel more into the housing. Similar to steering spacers, these are just bigger. I don't like how much they affect bumpsteer...

    Kaze Wide Body for MA70's?

    Then tell him to lower it and invest in spacers. Then it won't look so cheap.

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    Why would you do that? Unless you're putting some sweet looking beamer 19's on there, there's no point.
