theres a how to in the sticky. I havent done it, but dealt with the end links. doesnt seem hard at all. Just gotta be able to get the rusted bolts off and get the end links off right and your good to go. I think that endlinks are the trickiest things ever, but thats just me.

Stock suspension = This
 3 Wheeler goodness, well not really goodness. To eleminate/reduce bodyroll. A good set of tires! grab sway bars.. Suspension Techniques seems to be the fav choice, your own selection of strut bars, moderately stiff springs [Higher spring rate] and adjustable struts. You have to pay to play. I recently added Hotchkis springs to my ride [00 GTS] From - F: 136lb/in R:168lb/in To - F: 164-242 lb/in 1.375" R: 1.875" 350-380 lb/in (progressive spring rate) The ride is much stiffer and I can control the car much better at higher speeds. [Corners that is...] |

Also, does anyone know if any companies make a floor bar for our cars? Similar to this:

Ebay is your best bet. Also those do NOTHING to improve handling, if you want it for looks, by all means go for it.

floor bars are the largest jokes ever.
better shocks would be a good bet but gr2 will suffice. swaybars will be the best bang for the buck. |

Look what arrived at my house today!
  Edit, I just looked and the Bilstein's are only $85 dollars more. I'm going to go with those. Any comments about them, how they perform against the GR2's, etc? This post has been edited by GotToyota: Nov 15, 2007 - 1:03 PM |

That's pretty awesome. Guess I'll be going with the Bilstein's then.
Aren't they adjustable? -Matt |

Bilstein are NON adjustable. Only adjustable for our cars would be KYB AGX and Koni Yellow.
