Be nice to have some of your strong dollars fed into our economy!

Hey mate, ordered through NST And will continue to do so

As Nardi mentioned, swaybars, spoiler, braces and even the exhaust and air filter all have had R&D and testing to some degree....
In my own personal case I was more specifically referring to the coil overs
which should have been clear, given we were specifically talking about them at the time...........

Our economy thanks you!

They are really helpful there and certainly know their stuff. I was getting a lot of TRD stuff from them but then decided to go the full monty and order the TRD GT86 version we have here. Unfortunately Toyota NZ do the build so North Shore Toyota (NST) miss out on the sale as I ordered from a different dealer initially.

I'll definitely order additional TRD stuff from them though and highly recommend them to any Oz 86ers wanting TRD parts.

the mount is on order tho, won't be available until end of the month but i picked up camber bolts and rear subframe bushes today (which i ordered last Thursday).

Sweet, thanks man. I am thinking about getting the mounts now,more for a convenience and ease of fitment thing than anything else atm lol.
But if they are end of month, may not worry.
Wanted coil overs fitted before then, because i am out of the country for the whole next month!

Yeah man, I am very happy with the guys at NST. I speak to Peter via email fairly regularly and he is great do deal with. We had an initial issue on collection, but he sorted it quickly and went above and beyond my expectations
Couldn't have been happier

Personally I'm happy to wait as RCE had some issue with quality of the whiteline mount (maybe only a batch) and I'd rather wait to get fresh stock.

I'd have no issue waiting for better mounts, but the main reason for getting them for me is ease of fitment by not having to swap over the stock mounts. I was quite happy to use the stock mounts, so will probably do that now that the whiteline are on backorder
WIll see how eager I get between now and the end of the month, If I still don't get time to fit the coilovers before I go to Japan, I might get the whitelines when I get back, or maybe some others in Japan, if there are any available?

Curious how the ride of the car will be like after the installation of those TRD springs and coils.

[Surok]

how much were the coils?

I'm interested too.

Quoting from http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8739 : the TRD coilovers are 3.5k front (vs 3.0k std) and 5.8k rear (vs 3.3k std), which is quite interesting.

I wonder how much you can lower the 86 with TRD coilovers before having to compensate and make adjustments?
