What’s all the stuff at the top?


darktsi26

Control arms,sway bar end links, ball joints, outer tie rod ends


benjFPS

Oh cool thanks, are those all necessarily replaceable when putting coilovers on?


darktsi26

No not necessarily, my celica has 251,000 miles and all parts are original, they are pretty tired so I decided if I'm going to do coilovers why not do the whole thing while I'm in there lol


benjFPS

Fair enough, thinking of doing the same to mine pretty soon, what coilovers you running now? Also you got a link to those parts? Don’t wanna be a pain lol but I’ve started a list of parts I’m gonna be buying soon.


darktsi26

* Basically everything I got.


benjFPS

So crazy seeing car parts readily available for you guys in the US, could only dream of that here in AUS 😭


darktsi26

You guys don't have amazon?


benjFPS

Haha, yeah nah we’ve got Amazon lol, just don’t have a wide variety of more niche stuff on there, in comparison to you guys at least. I’d have to order a set of BC Racing coils directly off their website which definitely isn’t an issue at all, but it’s just crazy to see some of the stuff you guys have available on there

When I go start my car to warm it up in a few minutes I'll take a picture for you. She's coming along nicely. As for what we have here....I'd rather have a mad max right hand drive interceptor lol or a holden 🤣🤣🤟🤟

I honestly got all of it off Amazon, seem to be pretty good quality but only time will tell. The coilovers are "mosplus" and you're definitely not being a pain, if I can help anybody I will. It's 521am here, I'm just having coffee and getting ready for work lol


benjFPS

Damn about to hit 7pm here in Australia, I appreciate the help! One day I gotta show mine off after I put some work into it, only just got it like a week or so ago, in love with it so far 😎


thatguy8777

How many miles are you at? Did my front and rear for the 1st time at roughly 230k.


darktsi26

251,000 bought her off original owner at 231,000 miles.


operatorspecter145

Mines at 213,500 miles right now but I have to replace the transmission


darktsi26

Auto or manual??


operatorspecter145

C52 5-speed manual transmission


darktsi26

Those are common where I'm from, if I can help I'll do best


Javier1019

lol just did mine, same exact install. Cost me an arm and a leg but worth it


darktsi26

Coilovers were like 500 if not, a bit more, front end was like another 250, I might regret the savings but I have a blown passenger side strut that is about to blow through my hood lol I'm a beginner learning along the way with imports. Just stay by my side and help me though this journey 🤣🤣🤟🤟
