Are touring tires with a taller wall an option for you?

Yes if they are on my OEM 15" wheels.
It's a matter of Looks vs comfort, original size are skinny tires and getting touring, fuel efficiency tires work best but don't look as good, my black wheels are 16" and choosing a good tire works ok with comfort and looks, but 195/50/16 is not a very common size. The General Exclaim UHP I've been using are great! very quiet, good grip, good looking, I have so far 40K miles on them and I guess I still can get another 10K or 15K miles, But TireRack doesn't carry any more (that size). So maybe I'll be looking at some thing like ExtremeContact DWS, or General G-MAX AS-03, at this point I don't know... time will tell (o: D.

This is where I step back. I don't even have aftermarket rims on mine yet. I'm still waiting to lower it...happening this week sometime...

The only problem going low and getting wheels is the offset, most of the time you could end up with rubbing problems, but there are a couple of ways to be safe. D.

I just put on the Eibach Pro kit this evening. It's going to be interesting to feel the car settle in. Already I can feel and see the car NOT lurch forward under braking and with the gear changes. What suprised me was how simply Toyota made the rear spring setup. Basically just a "cup" on the lower axle that presses the rear spring onto the unibody. literally two minutes per side on the rear.
I'll look at that sway bar. It was one of the first things I took off after the wheels...the factory bar that is.

Either size sway bar. If its mostly just day to day, then the 19 is good. Its waht I have on my sedan. But I do wish I had gotten the 23mm alot of times. I like to "hook up" around corner and I think the 23mm would have given me the little extra I want at times. Without sacrificing ride too. I still need to get springs under mine also....

I have 19mm and love it, It's the combination of lowering springs + sway bar that gives you that sport feel. D.

Been following your posts and noticed that you have not used any 3M Thinsulate™ Acoustic that's also available from Don. Any particular reason? Thanks |

I used the a radiant barrier most of the floor where the exhaust is under to protect the amps from heat and under the dashboard to protect the HU. See POST # 263 and 295 for more information below... D. __________________________________________________ ___________________________________________ POST #263 Quote:
and Talking about layers I just added one MORE! Radiant Barrier I'm putting this along the center channel and other areas after applying CLD Tiles and before CCF adn MLV, I've driving with no center console, bare metal and I can tell it gets HOT! the other day I had a Hershey chocolate about 4 inches above, and it melted! I guess this heat going inside the cabin it's good in winter, but not good in summer, any way one more barrier to make the noisy work harder! __________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ POST #295 Quote:
OEM deadening material Taking a break! Clean! 2 CLD Tiles. Some of that Radiant heat insulator... 1/4" CCF and ready for MLV With no MLV to work last night I started playing around with the amps, the 3rd amp will be here soon, maybe I'll put it under the passengers seat? or in line with these 2. I didn't realize they where so big and heavy "I just added this picture as a reference for the MLV layer on top:" I would use it now, I don't see why not? D.

Sqcomp... I have a question on the P99
on the specs it says: "31-band equalizer with independent right and left channel adjustments" SOURCE how do I adjust Right and Left EQ for each side? D.
