I apologize if I missed this, tried searching thread, but has anyone in Phoenix gotten the five axis aero kit? Did you go through Right Toyota? The kits been growing on me.

I wish I had bought shorter springs (they sent six and seven inch springs) because I want the car lower for autox. I will replace them with stronger springs. I will probably have the konis revalved next year to make them work better for me.
Okay @Evil86 & @AZFA20 do I need to purchase the rear shocks mounts? What are those for anyways? Aftermarket shocks? I am really liking this kit and how it just basically uses the stock shocks cause I will be able to upgrade my shocks later down the road

So rear shock mounts I'm guessing are for aftermarket shocks?

Why do want the kit? Just to lower the car or for performance? If you are going after performance, then save up and buy their damper/coilover kit. If you just want to lower, buy some springs designed to be compatible with stock shocks.

Personally, that kit is only worthwhile if you are running aftermarket shocks other than the konis GC sells.

I have no idea what they are referencing. I am just learning to work on car even though I have over fifteen years experience in a few kinds of mechanical trades.

The option for shocks it says stock...... There are 2 kits and the more expensive one comes with their camber plates. The 500$ setup uses stock parts....

So for the 86Expo is everyone planning on staying 1 night or 2. I plan on leaving PHX extreamly early in the morning on the 14th. Then either driving home late on the 15th or stay 1 more night the drive home early on the 16th. I'm trying to fig out my work schedule.
