Ric Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Good morning all. Im putting out the feelers for a few parts im looking for. I want to try here to see what people might have before i buy new. Im only looking for NEW parts not used unless they are AS NEW. Im looking for the following (All parts are for a Jspec Pre-Facelift TT) Full set of OEM suspension arms and bolts - Found (Front Lowers, Rear Uppers, Strut tension rods) Possibly requiring a new front subframe (obviously this can be used but must not have anything wrong with it.) Upgraded Anti roll bars, Titan/TRD/Whifbits etc Genuine Toyota Roll bar links Full Engine Gasket Kit - FOUND Do luck or Carbing underbody braces Diff Bushes or any other under-body related bushes If theres anything else which maybe useful please let me know. Cash waiting for right bits. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I have new OEM diff rear mounts 41651-14010 and 41651-14020 if you have problems securing your own. If you want TRD sway bars you'd better move quick as I was told they last Autumn that they are out of production with the last few sets working their way through the US supply chain. They are the closest to OEM looking identical other than the colour; being non-adjustable but slightly stiffer. If you decide to go OEM instead then the front bar is still available from Japan but the rear one has ended production and supply. I also hold a near pristine front sub frame so if you draw a blank on that you can enquire about it, I'd need to have a thorough look over my current frame to decide if I wanted to use it myself or would be prepared to let it go. You should include the sway bar bushes while they are still available, TCB managed to get hold of those when Toyota said no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 TRD ARB's are much stiffer than OE 27% according to PHR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 TRD bars are 27% stiffer than stock sway bars, providing needed extra control in the corners. A figure isn't subjective like slightly or much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Whiftbitz would certainly be easier to get a hold of and are adjustable and slightly thicker than OE models however ill be taking a good look at whats available for a reasonable cost.

OEM sway bar bushes will only be good on an OEM sway bar. Aftermarket sway bars are thicker and come with bushes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 OEM sway bar bushes will only be good on an OEM sway bar. That's very true, didn't consider that. Though are the TRD bars actually larger than OEM or just fabricated from thicker tubing? I assumed seeing the TRD kits don't include bushes they were probably left as OEM, though that's just an assumption that may be right and it may be wrong.

If going adjustable then this may be useful reading for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can recommend the Whiffbitz ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed seeing the TRD kits don't include bushes they were probably left as OEM, though that's just an assumption that may be right and it may be wrong. It is thicker tubing. I have Whiffbits ones which are thicker and both came with bushes and clamps so I would assume the TRD ones do to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I have TRD and yes they have their own clamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
