Those With Tte Coilovers.

[Fargo]

Ok, those with TTE c/o, canyou tell me what setting you have them on.. ie at the moment i have set up the spring compression as per below, front at 235mm and the rear at 105mm.

TTE then go on to give there recomondations (fr 220-245mm & rr 95-120mm)

Now the problem im having is that on a reasonabley hard corner with just me in the car i get the wheels rubbing the arch... why... surely its not the wieght of the engine (is300) as this kit is also used on the IS430...

Did you have the geometry done after fitment?

[Mr Morse]

Fargers Old Bean....How do these compare to the Apexi's, any knock? Better handling?

[Mr Singh]

I don't thin you can slam your car with these as much as the Apexis...

If i take a corner at 5mph mine rubs, so much so that the paint on my front archs have come off, and the arch lip is bending.... how low?

If its rubbing and your worried jack it up...

"Says" Mr "plough" :D

nah aitn done the geo yet,, had a little problem with someone drivinginto my wing so lexus will be doing a geo alighnment for me (no point in paying twice)

thats my initial thoughts that maybe the geo is out such that its causing the rubbing..,,

[Purvesh]

But Lexus will only do it 'by the book' (as Tony says). They won't take into account all the mods and personal driving styles - like Tony does in his calculations.

[Fargo]

yes i know that,, but tony hasnt got the right kit in yet for low riders, and i am still in need of having the geo aligned even if its only to lexus standard (which is better than it is now having removed the apexis and fitted the tte's)

so as i said, this way i will only be paying for one geo setup....
