Suspension Modifications!

skeet94 · June 22, 2005

Hello everybody,

Just wondering if anyone has performed any suspension modifications on their Aristo's. Need to know what in people's opinions is the BEST Coilover kit that will stop the cars nose from diving (braking) and leaning back (accelerating). I've got a TRD Strut brace for the front, going to be buying a rear strut, as well as lower suspension stabilizer bars in the near future, although I know it will help considerably since the car has ALOT of "flex" as it is, I still want to go all out on Handling every chance I get.

After handling I'll be looking at a BBK from either Endless USA or AP Racing or Project Mu.

After brakes comes performance (ECU, larger Turbo's, Fuel System, FMIC, etc).

So any opinions would be much appreciated.

PS: Budget, can be stretched pretty far, as it's something I'm hoping to do later on this year, so have got enough time to keep money aside and because I'd rather not cut any corners.

The best chassis braces are probably the TOMS ones not TRD.

To stop the nose diving you will need very stiff suspension as the car is very heavy. Tein do a lot of different models, I'm sure one of those would meet your requirements.

Also have you uprated your anti-roll bars?

I'm looking at getting uprated Roll Bars as well.

I was considering the Tein Flex Setup, apparently it's the most comfort orientated yet stiff spring setup for the GS300.

Just wondering, how does the Toms brace one vary to the TRD brace one?

I believe the TOMS ones are thicker and have extra links.
