Question about the spring swap. 9k/9k Swift springs are quite a bit stiffer than the RS*Rs standard 7k/7k for Black-i's, did you get custom valving to match the new rates? How does it ride?


To follow up with you on your question..

I took it for a short spin after the alignment was done, the car felt amazing.. It wasn't a stiff ride, at least not to me. Unfortunately I can't really compare it to something for you, as I've never changed out coilovers.

I didn't drive it hard as i was listening to see if I was rubbing in the front and for some other noises I heard.

Minor Update, hub centric rings will be in tomorrow for me to get the installed. Driveshaft is being replaced through Toyota warranty. It was leaking pretty bad again after the gasket was replaced. I think the tech said something about it was cracked

She's ready to go! My centric rings were to big, even though I checked. Meh oh well. I'll sell the ones I have and order a new set! So far, the ride is really nice. I went 3 clicks stiffer in the front because I thought it was to bouncy. I'm still learning about it, so I'll adjust the rear later!
Any recommendations for a complete detail in Atlanta GA. I found like 15 places online, but the one with the most reviews is like 1200 for a full detail exterior and interior lol.

Well I finally got around to installing the 3rd brake light I picked up from @wheelhaus, it took me 2 days to get everything right, but it was 2 days well spent. I've never done a mod like this before on my own, so it took me some time lol. On to the potato photos!
