they are not officially TRD bits of kit but everyone seems to refer to them that way, they are Toyota optional/dealer extras. they differ from the 96-99 skirts as they are larger/drop lower. sorry i can't be any more help then that. add a "please help" to the thread title it may get more views. |

QUOTE (Goonter @ Feb 23, 2011 - 6:33 PM)  It's a daily driver. I wont be doing any racing whatsoever and it barely goes past 60 mph. from what everyone that's done it is saying they had no problem so i should be ok too. hairy chuff just be careful in the wet, on a standard set up these cars under-steer quite badly when the damp stuff hits. |

on a FWD you want the front soft and the rear stiff so that you reduce under-steer/induce over-steer, lowering the front will probably make the front stiffer and the rear will be unchanged increasing under-steer. |

QUOTE (praetor @ Feb 5, 2011 - 9:06 AM) bought them new, checked for leaks though and can't find any. could old/dead bushings be enough to put the camber off that much? not to knock somewhere i don't know but is your alignment place any good cos i got -3 camber when i was experimenting with the camber bolts bored. i run the more sensible camber in my signature   |

-5 and -3?!?!?! mine are only -1.15 on both sides with camber adjustment bolts even then there is still play to adjust it a bit top and bottom before the bolts pinch/grab when fully tightened but i figured -1.15 was fairly good as i did them myself on my drive so never asked for them to be adjusted on the alignment. i think i have mine on 27 clicks hard rear and 14 clicks hard front and a whiteline ARB on hardest at the rear, it is a bit harsh but nothing i can't handle, coilovers are supposed to be harder as they are aimed at the sort of market that want maximum grip opposed to comfort. |

i thought i was buying an Integra but instead i ended up with this piece of crap, suppose that's what you get for buying a "Japanese sports coupé" without actually seeing it...... i kid, i kid don't shoot me. i was after a Mazda but test drove the Celica and thought why not it's cheap it's cheerful, then i got home found it was an import and my insurance for the year doubled, its not so cheap any more, still cheerful though. |

QUOTE (mak5603 @ Feb 1, 2011 - 4:46 PM) QUOTE (96stgreendemon @ Feb 1, 2011 - 11:13 AM) I have quiet a few friends running rotas on their cars that they use to dd and to Trac on the weekends, not a single problem with them, and from what i have read on the rotas breaking alot of it was due to owners powdercoating them and something happens to change on a single cell structure with them metal used when it gets to X tempature. The breaking isn't even the main issue why most the people on this thread said stay away from ROTA's. It's the fact that they are replicas, I'm sorry, I mean copies of real wheels. Companies spend tons of money to create stylish new wheels and the very same year ROTA will copy the wheel and sell it for a fraction of the price. Literally, like instead of 800 per wheel, ROTAS are like less then 500 a set. Real rim companies are literally slowing down production and jacking their prices up just to stay alive with the increasing popularity of replicas...That's why I don't like them... But if you want to get into quality as well, it's like comparing a fake rolex to a real rolex, difference is night and day. the reverse could also be true, since even companies like Ray/Volk or Work Meister don't always use "original" designs in their range, lower priced replica's can help keep the market alive and stop companies from jacking their prices sky high, lets face it, some wheels are ridiculously over priced for what they are, some wheels fair dues should be priced higher if they use some sort of "hidden experimental technique" to make the wheel light and strong as that is what I would pay for over the over all look. i'd say it's more like comparing a Casio watch to a Rolex as a Casio is good enough to do the job but is a bit meh. |

QUOTE (mak5603 @ Jan 31, 2011 - 9:03 PM) Are you kidding? Those are complete opposite ends of the spectrum. Like rob said, BOO ROTAS! Work meisters are baller! How's that even a question? i think he wants Work Meisters S1's but they are out of his price range and since Rota D2's are reps he wants a set, he only wants a picture of a 6GC running the wheels it's a not a question of which is better. although i thought they're Rota D1's? |

the few breakages of Rota's was blown massively out of proportion and were their first generation of wheels, all Rota wheels that break in a manner similar to the pic are replaced the same can not be said about many other wheel manufacturers, remember it's not just Rota wheels that have broken like that, it is a risk you run with all cast rather then forged wheels. |
