True. But I wouldn't trust them. If I were to do a serious suspension upgrade, I'd go with tein coilovers.


I have used my D2 coilovers for about 25.000km no problems so far... So I don't think you chould worry to much about them.

The rides good. I have it at full stiff. I dont know why there 32 way adjustable. I dont see a point in street cars having that adjustment.

That is probably because the coilovers are mainly ment for the track, not the road.

ummm if you arn't using the wrenches to break the two perches loose from eachother you arn't tightening them well enough against eachother and that my friend will cause them to rattle and move up and down...thats not good...


You don't need the wrenches to adjust the hight of the car, just when you tighten the spring.

Standard toyota pads are alot better than people think and are definately worth considering.


Agreed. For road use, the Toyota pads do the job!

I have only tested OEM, Greenstuf and Ferodo.

The best of them are Ferodo.

Ferodo is the most used brand in here... which one you had? What series (target, premier, racing, etc...)?


I'm using the Racing pad. I think it's good on both track and road use(5-10 trackdays\year)

mine looks jus like this http://www.alljapanesecars.com/viewcr.php3...r=2000&mc=AE110

do the gt boxes come with lsd and are these the s54 transmissions



Hi

The E56 transmission has LSD, it is is some european models of the ST202. The cars that have superstrut suspension, does also have the E56 tranny.

The S54 is the most common, but does NOT have LSD.

Best Regards

What about the horisontal brace between the swaybar and damper?

Is shis the OEM part? Is seems so weak...
I have just put on D2Racing coilovers, and this will be my next uppgrade.


the swaybar endlink? it should be fine. never had one totally bend/break on me and i drive damn hard.


Yes, that was the name for it, endlink. biggrin.gif

So you use the stock endlink, there is no upgrade for this part?

I don't think any of the 6gc owners have them but I have read exceptional things about this set elsewhere. I say give them a try and report back!



I have these on my car now. But I need to adjust the ride and test it on the track next weekend. Then I will come back with a report.

well my rotors are actually still in good shape...im just lookin to upgrade...and my budget is expandable at the moment...


A cheap but good upgrade is a BlackDiamond&Ferodo combo. I have used this for two trackday seasons, and am impressed compered to the original brakes.

The next step is a bigbrake kit...

I'm swapping to GT4 brakes. When you increase the power of you car you should always increase the stopping power as well IMHO. Not that i have many complaints on the Stock (EU/JDM) brakes with stock pads.


In trackdays the stock brakes are too weak.
Now i have discks from BlackDiamond and pads from Ferodo. Even after 10 laps on a 2,5mile track the brakes was good, the TOYO R881 tires was not laugh.gif

the GT4 and SSIII and Euro GT has the same superstrut suspension. Just compare these 2 suspensions and you will find the same parts and etc.

What is ssIII ?

Not all Euro GT has Superstrut, just a few.
