hello there i kno it mite sound stupid but i got a set a tanabe df210 springs for the jzs147 an its lower the FR n RR by 1.8inch would it make any sound or mess up my ride if i cutted the front 1inch lower???/ thankx if you could help

 

I have no freakin idea what you just said, but, it's NEVER a good idea to cut springs, try making sure that the tire pressure is the same in all of your tires.....

 

Do not cut your springs. If you want to go lower pick up some coilovers. However you will be out of camber if you go lower than Tanabe. It just so happens I have a set of Camber adjustment bolts for the rears sitting on a shelf if you need them. I went with Intrax and have maxed out the stock camber, but I am still within spec so I don't need them.

 

kaiser, how low could you go before you need them camber bolts. I have eibach springs and it is kind of sagging in for the back wheels, but it's not all that bad. Could i buy them anyways and install them or is it a waste of money buying them??

 

Never cut your springs-- it can compromise the internal structure and lead to future breakage of the spring.

If one side of the car is not sitting correctly, check installation, and check that the dampers are in good working order.

 

DO NOT CUT ! ! I've seen alot of horror stories

 

NEVER FREAKING CUT YOUR SPRINGS!!!!
I have Tein's off of a JZS161 and I went pretty low; my question is, is there a camber adjusting kit for our cars? Reason is, my wheels butterfly some (I would say in front I am at -3) and I really would like my car low but my wheels straight and flush... kind o like this:




LOOK AT THE WHEEL FITMENT, NOT THE CAR ITSELF!!! My wheel sizes are 18x8.5 +29 F 18x9.5 +38 R

 

Eibach makes the camber kit and it's for the rears only. I paid $25ish plus shipping for the bolts. Still in my garage, if you want them kid, $20 and they are yours.

 

Yeah, if you want to go lower, put them up for sale and invest in a set of coilovers and a QUALITY alignment. You don't want to ruin your beautiful GS man!


to get you motivated...

That's awesome Craig. I used to ride like that and it was great, until I decided not to crack my front end and sideskirts with the kit. hahaha

 

Hey Kaiser, if he doesn't take them I will! Let me know

i know some ghetto people that heat their springs,but it does gets jumpy after a while, i wouldn't dare to do that.

 

Eibach Camber kit part # 5.81270K

I did a Google search and it seems to fit a lot of Toyotas.
