Because TRD!!

So I have a few TRD bits slowing piling up, and I want more!!
This was first and gets fitted tomorrow

Next these arrived, and will be fitted when I get around to it hahaha
(sorry for poor phone pic)

And this arrived today and I just threw it on


Also have a TRD fuel cap cover that I might throw on, and a TRD oil filter.
Future TRD stuff will be exhaust and garnishes and the drop in air filter.
Would one day like the door garnishes and strut brace too. *Maybe* the brake pads, but waiting to hear some reviews.

hey buddy I'm wondering if the shift knob is the same size as the factory one we have? does it feel lighter? does it feel heavier? what are your comments?

I'm currently looking for shift knobs atm, but I'm still undecisive haha

I've got a flossy on a Dub I'm working on. Very happy with it, will be getting another for the 86.

Nafe, where did you get your wing and how much for?

@whyreeto Gearknob is lighter than stock, roughly the same size. maybe a bit smaller and i reckon half the weight. Didn't get it for weight saving though lol. Haven't driven with it yet, feels different in the hand fitted, but so far I like it. @LineNoise - can't remember exact price, it was so long ago lol. circa $350-400. Got from Japan. @Skorov - haha i like it :P More or less the only stuff i have.... ahhhhhh bachelor life lol

As much as I want to get some camber adjustable top mounts, I will likely keep the stock ones. I plan to fit these in the next couple of weeks and haven't considered/ordered top mounts, put it that way :P
I can't wait to try them out. They come at 25mm lower. Going to go down another 5mm

-30mm seems a good height. But the rear seems higher than the front on stock sussy, wonder if I should go lower at the back or not drop as much at the front lol

Ooops meant to say they come at 15mm lower, and going to 20mm :P
Any more than that can detract from the handling
They do look higher at the rear :/
The rear has more adjustment for low than the front

They are coilovers, but the springs can be used on stock struts as well.
They are height adjustable and 40-way damper adjustable. Weren't cheap :P
