to be honest, they are absolutley rock hard.
on a smooth road they are stunning, but anything slightly bumpy they are out and out atrocious.. no joke. just HARD. bumpy country roads the car will be outrun by a camry, as the wheels spend more time in the air than on the ground. its not so much the 8k rears, but those 5-6kg fronts.. eeeck...
 
BUT
 
i like this. its damn entertaining...! i like cars to be a bit of a prick to drive.. just have something unique/quirky going on. I feel like im in a race car. :)
 
quality is also fantastic. I've been running mine for what would be not far off a year now, without a hassle. I'd have no hesitation in buying another set the minute one makes any noise. they're CHEAP!
 
 
 
basically, id get a ride in a BC'd Adub before you buy. you may or may not like it.

They sound more like the type RM spring rates, i think they have set the spring rates a bit lower in the BR's, i think the fronts are only 3 or 4.....

just had a little look in the brochure, and all the AW11 ones nowadays are 5kg front, 8kg rear. (cant see any reason you could sneak those down a bit with other existing springs. the shocks wont mind if its only a kg or so...)
funnily enough, saw the price of the spare parts on the australian website. chuffed with how cheap the **** is..! :S i feel like buying some spares for a quick recovery if anything goes shyte with them... :D

For a bit of a laff, I changed around the look of the car.
well, moreso because i bought a rad-tastic 80's 4-spoke 'Toyota' Momo (Option in Supra/Celica afaik?) which i excitedly put on... but then didnt match anything else :S
so on went my neat set of teardrop's, the old mudflaps, and the ski racks again. :P
Took a couple photos.. in a FILTHY scene. reaaallly ugly. sky legitimally is just grey, everythings dark, ground was wet, and its raining. ew..
but the car is a lol.. so im happy.





actually pulled the 50mm lens off my camera for once too! haha

WOW! Never seen such beautiful pictures with an even more beautiful car! The paintwork is flawless! Is this car immune to dirt? Sensational car man, probably one of the cleanest examples of the AW11
