Today I picked up the wheels I am going to run on the supra, I have been a fan of the Enkei RPF1s for quite a while now they are 17x9 +35 all round.

I bought them off a guy who has two sets. They have July 2011 stamped on them and they have never been used as they did not fit his car. They have however had tyres mounted. I picked these up at a very good price, may think of buying his other set as spares as they may come in handy. Will buy wheel nuts and hub centric rings this coming week.

Sorry for the bad quality pics, need a new memory card for the camera

I've always like RPF1's as well. I assume there fairly light too

Super light, couldn't beleive it when I picked them up... They weigh 7.1kg each but feel around 4-5kg's at first can't wait to get them on the supra

So my suspension is all complete, I didn't end up taking many pictures but here are a few

I am running White Line sway bars, front and rear

My strut setup - Bilstein shocks, Cobra springs. The car sits 60-70mm lower all round

Today I also got my new tyres and wheels fitted, completes the look I think.

Enkei RPF1 17X9 +35 Nitto Invo 225/45/17

And then it came off the stands and I got to take it for a drive, super smooth/quiet and handles great with everything installed

looks great. what mods did you have to do for the cobra springs?

looks great. what mods did you have to do for the cobra springs?

The shocks have the three levels of where the spring sits, 10mm apart, as of now they are all set up on the centre groove so keep that in mind.
The springs have been wound from new steel so that they will make the car sit 50mm lower than standard height using the stock mk3 supra specifications,
So the car should be sitting 60mm lower all round, including that the springs are 10mm down the shock (second groove on the Bilstein shock)

I may take the rear down another 10mm hope that answers your question

 

[slowmedown]

haha sorta so are these mustang cobra springs or some one custom pieces you made?

Wheels look great! Now you just need a lip to complete the look

 

[ryansmith]

Oh, Cobra is the brand of springs, New Zealand made sorry

Cheers, Wouldn't mind a front lip that would be nice, unsure where I can get one from around where I am from

This morning I installed some new front speakers that I basicly got for free from a mate of mine. Would always have sounded better but they really do make a difference. Not really one for listening to music as I can listen to my straight through exhaust but these are great!

This weekend was awesome, three mates and myself drove three hours down to a car event and made a weekend out of it. The car drove well and didn't have any issues other than my E brake light staying on, I assume it was just because of the cold weather..? A friend of mine took a few shots so here they are.

The infamous shifter, this is actually super nice, awesome throw and makes shifting so light. Custom made to my design then machined by my fathers mate
