Locksmice, the new toyota option

they are avaliable for UCF10/20/30 so everyone can use them
they only cost me 1200.00 new!!!
the opinoins i got from alot of Nihonjin say they love them. they are a stiff, but still comfortable ride, so you can go super low (cant go low without being stiff guys)

anyways, heres the unwrapping, im going to install them tomorrow

With shipping these will probably run us a couple hundred more over here stateside. I was actually looking through vipcar and saw they do make these for the jz161. Also, the price seems to be comparable to the insurance and algernon coilovers. Don't know in terms of quality how they compare to the locksmice.

no, they wont, they will be like 1280, ill get them for anyone that wants tehm for what i paid plus actual shipping, that way people dont think im selling htem for a profit.
I know how hard it is to get UCF suspensions, and this is a cheap price for a well known brand

just height
damper adjustability is something honetsly 98% of hte VIP work doesnt need. its a bandaid for bad valving/springrate matches.

a good coilover wont need the adjustability of hte damper for DD. track coilovers are different due to the varying surfaces on tracks. but for a VIP, they will do perfect
and im not a big fan of ksport/megan/etc etc etc

Doesn't look like they have many applications. I was hoping for KA9. But I may get some coilovers off you once I get my wheels from you.

Hey, I just noticed that they have one available for the Previa!?!

Same price Grant?! for any application or different?

Also, do you have more information of the Standard Level?

Thats what I've been telling my girl but she still goes low!!!

I love it when people (other forums not this one) want to be as low as possible and want a ride better than stock for like 50 bucks!?!? Would love to know how these work out for you in the future as everyone else does.

Lol, I can only imagine going down construction roads in Houston with my damper set on soft slammed. I would be tearing up everything on the undercarriage.

wow
that is all i have to say
i believe that honestly this is the most impressive coilover i havce ridden on in a large sedan

the ride is flawless, its like instead of putting money into unneeded damper adjustment, they put it into developing the PERFECT match to make the ride stiff, yet outstanding!
even my wife cant tell the difference, she likes it MORE than the stock boaty air suspension!

i mean, seriously, these things are top notch in teh world of budget suspension. I mean, they could be better, but for what your paying, its leaps and bounds over megan ksport
