Lol, hey Ben how much does adjustable suspension cost? And how much does it improve the handling of the car?

Mine cost $1400 (which are the cheapest fully adjustable coilovers you can get) but in saying that i think someone just paid 1200 for the same brand. I have them for nearly 2 yrs now and have not had 1 single problem they are awesome. Now you can go up tein which IMO (and most probably others) are one the best suspension brands you can get and i think they start around the $2200 mark.

As for improvement....... sh*t were do i start, IMO the improvements are huge my car seriously handles like its on rails.... ask any of the QLD members about my hill run.

Nice!

Thanks for that

My car initially came with 17" rims and they looked like sh*t. I changed to 18" and my car went up by half an inch in height, and now it's a little too high. I can't lower it by an inch or else I can't make it up my driveway so I was either gonna just get adjustable suspension or buy new 17" rims.

1400 is really cheap man, I thought it would be double that, but if it's that cheap then my problems are solved

Those guys are idiots, don't listen to them. Not everybody is a sterotype without any taste of their own and just go for common cars that everybody likes to impress everybody around them, without giving a sh*t about personal preference.

Damn straight im not going to do what they say n get 1500kg tank of a car like a supra tt.
Im finding it hard to get what i want over in japan in the way of an FTO but im definatately not giving up yet thats 4 sure, one day im going to go back there n show them exactly y an FTO is a great car to mod and enjoy driving.
