Just read that you're a panel beater & sprayer... can you recommend anywhere for a good but reasonably priced paint job for my TRD Stage 1 bodykit?

...and good job on the wheels they're quality.

Looks miles better. Your old suspension looks like it had seen better days too!

Wow that sitting low! Your original springs/dampers/boots certainly look like they'd seen better days. Looks like there's a gap each side of the new units, is there any lateral play in the bolts?
I hope that's just water vapour under your exhaust pipe?
You'd better get your geometry checked out that looks like some serious negative camber on the rear wheels in the last pic?

There's no gap that's just new painted metal you can see, it's a bit more noticeable in this photo to give you some idea.



I think at that height you will hit most objects in the road.

Oh yeah, my bad, the reflection looked like a steel pin.
I wouldn't even get, out of my road if my car was that low  s:scared: :scared: s:scared:

Having it that low looks fine, but the underside of the car would be severely damaged after a couple of miles where I live!  s;) ;) s;)
Looks pretty interesting.  s:) :) s:)

Yeah I too like the low height but round my way it would smash the hell out of the underside, a 30mm drop is as far as I dare go and even with that I daren't put the wheels either side of those speed hump islands you get!  s:scared: :scared: s:scared:

Pretty sure you have to drop the fuel tank so not a super easy job that many on here would have done.

Like the look, again way too low for a round my way but looks good  s;) ;) s;)

Agreed although I think you can shortcut it by just dropping the tank a little to get access but you need to drop it fully to use all the original Toyota fixing points, well that's what I read somewhere on here anyhow  s;) ;) s;)
