true JDM or how to ride now? - Toyota Corolla Fielder, 1.8 L, 2003
This story began about a year ago, when a very good man backkolek brought me real Japanese Work wheels. Subsequently, having become very friends and began to communicate, Kolya constantly repeated that it was necessary to underestimate the car :) Jeep is not cool! Kolya, thank you for everything! By the way, I also bought the springs from him. It's time for a minimarket to open spare parts;)
But more to the point, let's omit the sentimentality, finally, today, Ki put the tanabe DF210 springs with -40mm in comparison with the "stock".
The process itself took me about 4 hours, given that there was absolutely no experience in removing racks on Toyota before this. Most of all, I was upset by the fact how much you have to disassemble in the cargo compartment in order to get to the attachment of the rack to the body: (I took everything apart.
Sorry for the quality of the photos. Camera - Nokia 6300 :)
Rear springs tanabe;)
But then my good friend came and things went more fun. The stock springs were first pulled together and then the stock was unscrewed. On the apron it was already too lazy to twist the ties for a long time, so they squeezed a little bit and then "shot" at the wall. It is dangerous of course, but laziness does its job. There are no more photos, the phone has sat down%)
In general, in the course of work, we gained experience and also found that the front struts cannot be fixed (stock) when you turn them off and tighten them in other things too. A little this fact powders the head and doubts about reliability creep in, but oh well. Then everything was collected and the moment came for a small test drive.
The first feeling is tough! The roads are not Japanese Autobahns, all the joints and bumps, all the licky policemen and small potholes are felt by the booty :) Undoubtedly like it! The steering wheel became heavy, of course, the installation of 16 radius wheels contributed to this, but that year it was easier! Now he wants to go only straight, he is reluctant to turn :) (I mean the power steering) The reactions on the steering wheel have become clearer. Rolls and nose pecks are less.
I grabbed a little along the track. At speeds of 120 km / h, you feel much more confident! BUT it is felt that the stock struts are paired with hard springs: (getting into a more or less decent depression, such as a dents in asphalt (pit), you feel a buildup due to the fact that standard soft and long-stroke struts are not designed for these springs. Conclusion: 2 sets are needed suspension :) I also noticed that when you enter a 90-degree turn, the rear wheels squeal, although the speed is not great. Average engine speed increased :) (driver's factor) and the speed too.
In general, I'm glad so far! Everyday life will show how it will ride.
For comparison, a few photos are again of poor quality.

These are the first impressions. What do you tell dear readers, how did it happen?
PS: a sill and a beautiful lip forward;)
Thank you :) I also like it visually. Maybe they will already come up with something with the roads, they are tired of the pits = (
on the front ones, I put pieces of tarpaulin under an adjustable wrench by folding them in two, clamped a little and tightened the upper nut)
Yes, I also drew that the lack of body kit is not striking. And the stock, as you described, is done, just on the rear you need to hold it with a hexagon, otherwise it turns, but on the front ones it is not necessary. That's what I was talking about :)
uuuuu… good carriage plya) come on visit as soon as possible;) Rafik asked him to transport fruit from the market, and you, springs, underestimated) And the lack of a body kit does not strike the eye, zaipe. I didn't quite understand about the stem, as far as I remember, you insert the stem into the cup, tighten the upper nut, then put the assembly on 3 nuts from above and tighten it.
approximately so it will turn out ... =) carry out the revision again in order to do everything at once.
I also think that they will take out more drain! days of operation and new experience ahead :)

Looks good! Today, when they were standing next to me, it was like an SUV =) I had to take a picture!
But now you'll load figs really.
And for the winter, put the old ones again;)
Yes, you can normally load =) I loaded more than the stock ... the stock is soft and these are hard. Apples tested =)
For such a thrill, you can change it twice a year!
How do you ride in winter ... I would not take pictures either =) but if everywhere and in any weather ... risk

why not load? the spring is stiffer, and when the boxes are loaded, it is a maximum of one centimeter of waste, the drain spring and the tanabe are completely different things. In winter, I also went without b.
zy: did not work in cargo transportation)
I don’t ship it at all. She travels with two passengers 95% of the time. let it flaunt;) and yours and the truth was like a jeep;)
And put the old ones again with a revision of the chassis :) where is what is torn and where is what needs to be replaced;) is also a plus!

I only go on the highway once a month a maximum of 2 times, and so basically around the city along the same route.
but of course I want to be tougher I won't hide a little
Yes, ok =) this also has its own relish ...
I somehow drove along the highway towards Khakassia, on the pass the road was not very (who knows) a taurer was driving next to it, understated in kakahu, we together 100 km per hour ... everyone overtakes. But after. When you leave on a normal road, everyone who overtook is left behind
excellent, here I tried on my 16 wheels with a 50 profile PPC jeepar Yomayo, fig knows, maybe I can also find the springs below. my roads are even worse than in kra = ska
Greatwheels
Romka needs to rub the rubber =)
Yes, in general, the machine would be polished! And you need to wash :) not only outside but also inside)
the steering wheel has become much heavier. drives only straight) but at speeds over 140 the steering wheel seems too light, or it is in contrast when it is not possible to turn at 20 km / h, but here it is straight easy :)

I've been waiting for this for a long time;) Congratulations to Romka. Wait for a visit!
Soon I will change too, they will just make the mounts on the rear strut ...
Now you're going to drive faster, believe me =) I, on the contrary, blissed out in the turns ...
and the speed really increased;)

we will call you and come. the street is now warmer. you can already poke around :)
Seryozha, how will you go to us with Romka, agree, maybe this time you will come together)

I also wanted a muzzle lower, but after I still had the fender liner on the old springs for 160, I scored on the wave) the code of 2 people in the cabin everything is exactly)
Yes, I like Lech's ass in general. The muzzle would have a little nag;) but well, nafig her;)
Yes, the pictures do not convey beauty, live much better, especially in three quarters from behind, generally fly away! =) Zhopka sat perfectly =)
Yes, I had such a driving style. It's a pity for the car and without underestimation :) on the route I travel every day, I also know every single dimple and crack :)
The springs are superb! And the driving pattern quickly changes towards a careful detour of all kinds of irregularities and vyr on the asphalt - I have already learned all the holes in the city in those places where I often drive!
Greatwheels
=) -50 / -42) -5 understatement in the priest)
Duc is lower than I had =) it was necessary to measure the rum
Greatwheels
yes norms) on teins -6 everywhere probably) Lyokha probably had even lower)
I hope it will not fall at 6 :))
yoyoeptv. I was hoping for -35. yokmakarek. Dad saw akhereet :) he has in the field xs what is the clearance
augmented
To be honest, I don't know how much. Kolya grilled something -40
=) -50 / -42) -5 understatement in the priest)
aka-mazai
They're like -30mm ?! =)
To be honest, I don't know how much. Kolya grilled something -40
I think about it at ease. I need at least -30, and my father sometimes drives a car, he does not understand understatement at all. He has Niva)
well yes. that is, of course, they will stand up if you have a rack stock ... it will not go to coils
because tanabe in front of -45 ass -50, and trd -30. Take Tanabe away from you :)
Why is the car lower on the tanaba than on the turbojet engine ?!
I would like to hide the wheels in the arches altogether)
Yes, I wrote pretty letters. Fuck knows what it means. In the outback, not literate = (
