Happy leap year peoples!
On this great occasion I want to celebrate and buy parts. So taking a small poll as to what GB we can run next. Since the last one was a fail with 2/3 people backing out last minute. I think I will do some research this time tongue.gif
Let me know what everyone thinks

If I can, I would have voted for both coilover and spacers. I am in need of both at the moment.
Both depends on quality thou... (good brands are even better)

Oh, and the price too

I have a turbo kit setup for sale, off my thread. It's for the 1.8L motor, has exhaust manifold, t3t4, 460cc denso injectors, sandwhich plate for oil filter + steel line, external waste gate, tapped oil pan w. steel line feed, most intercooler piping, walbro 255 lph fuel pump, the works if anyone was interested. NO BOV OR INTERCOOLER THO!

you guys want to do anothe megan coilover group buy???

as far as the strut bars, yellow chinaman already has made a custom front and rear bars for the ST205. Shipping might be a bit steep, but possibly ST202 strut bar. Now i see more beams and 1mz-fe swaps happening rather than the typical 3sgte so it would be ideal to build make a strut bar here in the states thats straight across rather than having that little bump (that mades to clear 3sgte intercooler)????

I was thinking more like BC, TEIN or something of that quality, if not better.

Or, dare I say it, C-one or TRD coilovers..... just dreaming

Hey guys,
We can get Cusco and Whiteline strut bars, sway bars, braces, and bushings no problem. Shipping is cheap within USA.

For coilovers there is always Megan, Tein,

I heard BC is merely the same. A group by with Tein top mounts would be ideal. Although the thing is that tein no longer is making coilovers for our cars. C-One went bankrupt, and TRD only makes them for the GT4. You can make yourselves a custom coilover from hotbits racing for $2,000 and they would be better than the TRD. The hotbits wouldnt included dampening and compression adjustments.

I'd say a group buy on Koni yellow Adjustable would be good. Those in combination with TRD springs I heard is awesome!!

I can get the teins so thats not an issue. Koni does make a good shock, but ride height adjustment is a must!

Hotbits makes excellent products do but those are over kill for a street application.

#15
are megan coilovers that good? I hear they are the same build quality as Dsport, GroundControl, etc.....

I hear they are not too stiff thou, which is a good thing for chicago.

They are certainly not the best, but for the price they are on par with their value.
