pics after l-tuned springs and shocks
I just got installed l-tuned springs and shocks today from dealer.
I love the look of car now with the drop. Its not much but it just fits my taste. I didn't wanted to drop too low or have too much gap. with my 18s it is just right. Also handling is much, much better now. Now I am thinking about getting sways.
sorry for the night time pictures but here they are. I don't know but for some reason the gap looks bigger in the picture than they actually are. I think it might be because of the flash.

Congrats... isn't it great how much better it rides that stock!?
By the way, I *think* your rear rotor is on backwards.

Congrats too!
I am getting mine installed shortly (Shocks, Springs & Steering ECU) and looking forward to it.
If it's all the good things I hear about it on here, I can't wait!
I WANT TO FEEL THE DIFFERENCE!
I will still have my OEM 17s on and maybe it is time to go to 18's? 18's would probably by the perfect fit.

really?. I didn't even notice about that?
is it matter which way it is? should I have them change the rotors. I have to check for the front one now.
let me know.
thanks
ps. yeah, I love the way it rides now. It seems to swallow bumps more solidly, I don't feel the bounce that I used to have. also it just plainly handles and corners better.

hey will,
I just checked the rotors and front ones are in same direction as back ones. and since you and bit noticed that it is backwards should I have the shop who installed the rotors change the direction? or is it ok the way it is now?.
thanks for the help. by the way. the gap is just a little over 2 finger width. perfect for me.

kap...
now i take a 2nd look and try to picture them spinning, they looked ok again...hmmm, do a serach and see if you could find pics of others' break set ups..
what kind of shop installed them for you? you could ask them, no harm/foul
btw, i just emailed you some info..also remember you saw some pics from jdm vip magazines that andrew posted few weeks ago? if you still want a copy, let me know. pm or email is fine..
thanks

My rotors were marked Left & Right with a felt pen. I just looked at my car and that that rear rotor is the opposite of mine.
Look in a car mag, etc. and check out a rice rocket or a Porsche rotor to compare which way the slots go.

ok after doing some research, the way the slots / drills are is different from brakes to brakes.....
if you have the supra tt upgrade, rmm brakes, and the rotors from steve, it should be the other way (look for the pics of brakes on rmmgs4's car)
however for some others, like the ap racing, then it's correct
