Nanglebadger Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 wow...u read the whole thing ro55ifumi???? thanks dude! i greatly appreciate that!thanks for the positive comments gents, as always they are very much appreciated!!apologies for the lack of pics, i havnt got my PC back from my mate yet, wont be long.minor update - today Mark and I fitted the rear KYBs i got from Jay, sits about 1/4" higher but i dont mind tbh, extra clearance is nice. we also removed the yaris rear wiper, i NEVER used it so it was kinda wasted, so I have fitted that to mark's GT to tidy it up a bit!hopin to maybe try my cusco lower arm bar this week now that we have the TRD suspension fitted, see if i can get away with it, if not it's goin on mark's GT permanently.Phil.

Nanglebadger Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 Cusco front lower arm bar now fitted...not sure what i make of it...two things mainly:1. If anything it has given a little oversteer, but perhaps thats just me having to adjust to its presence.2. It lends itself to a little more torque steer too...its not loose or anything, nor are the lower arms loose, she's all toight like hish fasher down there, just the feeling i'm gettin from her. little bit more responsive at the front now, before she was handling heavy at the rear with the arb and strut and c-pillar and room bar, this has added to the upper front and fender bars at the front. all that leaves is fittin the ALK and one day poppin a front ARB on, oh, and Jay's B-Pillar bars.also....I GOT MY PC BACK LAST NITE!!!! this windows 7 is maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!!!!working on reloading all programs etc and just gettin her running well again, then i'll throw some pics up!Phil.

Amjad Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Thanks for the feedback on the Lower Arm Bar, I've never actually heard what it actually does to the handling characteristics! Worth it you reckon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 well i got mine for a manifold swap....its not the first thing i'd go out and buy, but i wouldnt say they're shit. bearing in mind all the handling parts on my motor, it probably has a fairly hard time tryin to stand out.im sure if it was one of the first things i'd done i'd have noticed it alot more.Phil.
