Got theTRD suspension/springsnow and rear spoiler, really looks like a rollerskate

Idjiit · 07-01-2006, 05:40 PM

Looks good, the drop is a lot lower than I would have guessed.

boxerboy · 07-01-2006, 05:54 PM

Nice!!

jah · 07-01-2006, 06:35 PM

Yeah, the drop was noticeable. I like it

Now hopefully the side skirts available in Canada will show up in the states. Then somewhere along the way I will get some nice 17" 5 spoke alloys and new rubber

That looks perfect for 15's!

Maybe just a hair lower in the rear would be nice.

Hows the ride?

jah · 07-01-2006, 06:54 PM

Only got about 20 miles on it with the TRD stuff, but its not harsh at all. Firm, went over a railroad crossing on the way home, was fine. Still has a bit more body roll (but it is a tall car), maybe TRD will come out with a swaybar, and chassis brace. All in all, its just as nice as my Civic SI with the HFP (Honda Factory Perfomance) suspension, but not quite as point and shoot as the HFP car. The main thing I wanted to get rid of was the Yaw during a transition. Its was horrible, now improved, but not totally gone.
All in all, so far with the albiet short time I have had it, it is gonna be an improved commuter ride!!!

The drop sure improve the appearance of your car along with the handling.

Enjoy

casterqc · 07-01-2006, 07:28 PM

Really nice...can't wait to see the final result with the wheels on

Good work!

*YarisBueller* · 07-01-2006, 11:04 PM

Im in the same boat, just looking for a little more fun to and from work with it.

No complaints so far!

spacemanoeuvres · 07-02-2006, 10:42 AM

looks great

I can't wait to get mine lowered...

SmellyTofu · 07-02-2006, 02:12 PM

Looks lower than the Japan's TRD Sportivo kit ones.

jah · 07-02-2006, 03:33 PM

Before the install I could get my hand with the thumb folded out of the way (basically four fingers and hand) into the front wheel-well, now barely two fingers.

TireRack still has the sedan in the "see how it looks on your vehicle" part of its website, anybody else have a simular tool with the correct image (Hatch

)

*Chris07LB* · 07-02-2006, 06:27 PM

Give it a few hundred miles, and it will settle even more.. just a tad, but it will settle more then it is now.

Wondered if anybody would notice, its actually a "Prancing Chicken"

Just glued it to a small magnet (that I got from a liquor store

) and cut it out. Sprayed it with shelliac, but it can't handle much rain.

Got a little more miles on it with the TRD parts, I really like the improved handling. Once it "sets" in the turn, it is actually pretty flat thru the corners. I think the "yaw" I am feeling is the tall profile tires sidewalls flexing, so maybe with I get the 17 or 18's on it and a lower profile tire, it will be perfect!
