FuR Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 hi all any ideas on this please, i have just bought a supra and i notice that the distance between the wheen arch and the top of the tyre on 3 out of 4 wheels is approx 2" however on the 4th wheel arch (rear drivers side) it is alot lower and basically level with the tyre, i.e 0" what is the likely cause of this and anyone know the best place to get it sorted in or near Billericay in Essex?

AndyT Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Shot damper probably. The 2" height on the other three needs looking at too. Don't know who's closest to you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply, how much would the damper cost do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuR Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 ok looks like id like to go for this setup __________________________ I highly recommend Yellow Toyota Bilstein dampers with Eibach pro spring kit. Lowers about 1 inch, reasonably comfortable and really good on the twisties. Nic does Bilsteins @ good prices and the Eibachs are about £180 I think ___________________________ Anyone know anyone in essex that can fit supply/fit these? Whose Nic? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Whose Nic? That'll be me I have a full set of Bilsteins in stock at a discounted price of £365 at the moment, see pic here http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=135267 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simbasupra Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 anyone know anywhere in essex that can fit springs and dampers? would a toyota garage be suitable? i work for toyota and to be honest it would probably be cheaper else where as they will rip you off due to it not being usual work and it being an import.
