I can only imagine you guys sitting on Santa's lap...

^lmao

if i was doing a full rebuild i would replace the stabilizing bushes on number 1 arm at the hub (circled in blue) and replace the whole number 2 arm (the adjustable one ) both sides, i replaced them on mines and the difference was amazing , granted mine were shot and knocking like a bugger but if your going to put performance suspension on the car then these bushes should be replaced as the harder suspension is only going to wear them out sooner or later i found out the hard way

Here's a picy of what I'm talking about , the bush circled in blue can be replaced on its own but the one in red cant you need to buy a whole new arm (in the UK anyway )

The EDFC is a toy. As infrequently as you would change suspension settings, I think you would be better off with just the SS coilovers or the D2 coilovers for the 6gc. I am not positive but I think the D2's come with the pillow ball mounts. Research it in the suspension forum of the mr2oc.com and you will find the answer.

LOL, well in the relation to the rubbing it defenitly depends on the offset i chose, the ride height and if needed i'll have the rear fenders rolled or cut (professionally) i already know of people running 9 inch wide on the celica so hopefully the half inch won't aggrevate too much...just have to do some measuring and so forth to see how it will fit

and if i need to get a low offset/spacers and push out the rear quarter panels well then just more reason to save up and have someone make me a widebody



hrmm dually noted and thanks for the input!

and NIK

I'm pretty sure playr knows what he's doing. I mean come on he did the supra conversion. And look pretty good. I got faith in you Dan. Lets hope to see it all done.

haha thanks but corey is playing the guy who sits on your shoulder and tells you wat to do.....a Conscience i do believe
and i thank him for it....always good to have someone beating you with a baseball bat when something could potentially turn out....well like my supra project lol.....let it rest in hell

Ok, player, if I don't bust your balls who will?

Your setup actually sounds great. I'd ditch the EDFC, cuz like lagos said, you dont adjust it that much and it's just more money.

As for the brakes, sure big brake kits look nice, but brakes for stopping, not looks. I think you'd be satified with a nice rotor/pad combo. SS lines aren't any where NEAR worth the time and effort in installing em. I'd recommanded DOT 4 fuild as well, but I'm sure you already know that.

New bushings will statisfy you, altho once again, a real big pain to install.

And wheres the LSD?

lol LSD nah....

but EDFC is basically a nice toy that i want cause none of you have it

big brakes are more for style and look then pure functionality although it will be an increase in stopping power...yet one more thing yall don't have
SS lines well lets just say i don't have any to start


i mean after all this entire build is things that i don't "have to have"

I agree with Slow, none of us (including you playr) need to come to a stop any faster than whats given. If you want fancy brakes then do a rear disc conversion and put on a set of slotted crossdrilled rotors, save yourself some money. I understand the rareness factor that no one has it, but no one has it because we arent needing to go from 150MPH to 0 in a few seconds.

rear disk conversion is already in the works
the big brake kit is to fill up space inside my 18s
celica rotors just are small plus 4 pod calipers are sexi

I'd put the big brake kit in IF your swapping

i am

I plan on doing a rebuild and upgrade like this too. Not quite to the degree you are though lol. I just figured I can do all of my suspension, brakes, and sway bars in one blow. I just want to do some ceramic pads, brembo rotors, KYB's and Tein S-tech's, and suspension technique sway bars.

I do want to see how the EDFC works though, sounds cool

damn dan, always twerkin that baby of yours, well i hope that i can see her when everything is done. i gotta head down to VA or something to hang out with you, catch you lata boss

lsd would make it worth it...

and uhh if youre going for looks (suspension wise) - move this thread to off topic

Bump, how's this project going? Any pics?

if you need a suspension arm #2, i have a brand new one available.
