Decided to not waste my day today, just finished installing the adjustable rear toe arms and control arms. Reasonably easy, pretty much have them sitting as factory at the minute. Taking into get a wheel alignment this arvo, and see if I want to change anything. Still contemplating getting the...

So currently my wheel arches are 670mm from the ground. I remember I played around with it when I put the new wheels on. I think maybe that's not much different to stock height if anyone knows/can measure.

The rides good, obviously a bit bumpier than stock due to the coilovers. The tyre has never rubbed. I think I've dropped it about 30 or 40mm. I'll check that later today when I get a chance.

These are 19x8.5 et45, with 235/45/19. When I ordered my zr10s they had me look at this, even though mines a 2016. So my wheel specs are the same, and I reckon I could prolly push to +38. But for that, and even what I'm running, having stiffer coilovers is pretty much a must. I reckon a 245/40...

Installed a gfb hybrid bov this week, set to fully recirc. Sounds better than I thought it would. I get a nice little turbo flutter at low boost/low rpm, and a sharp psshhhh when pushing it. I still haven't installed the control and toe arms yet, hopefully find some time in the next few weeks.

Damn, was such a nice levorg too! Good luck with the merc!

Yea it definitely looks better. I find the chrome looks tacky. So far the chrome I've painted is holding up well. My friend tried to do it as well on his navara, but isn't holding up well. Can't remember if he followed the exact same process as me. May help that once upon a a time I was a panel...

Haha yea, air cups might be on the back burner. Just looked at a Toyota century yesterday, so might be losing a lot of funds to that ha

Lowered the car 10mm last night. Figured out how to get into my underground carpark without scraping. Gotta reverse in on all kinds of angles, I'll have it perfected in a day or two ha. Probably get cheeky and try another 10mm.

Thanks, I want to lower it around 50mm, but I will need aircups to do so, as it already scrapes entering my underground carpark. Just want the tyre to be semi tucked and I'll be one happy man.

Finally have my wheels on 19x8.5 et45 235/40/19 Silvers neomax black edition coilovers

I'll need to adjust the height. But I am loving these. I low-key started worrying about how big the tyres were sitting them next to my old ones. But once they're on the car that all changed.

Picked up my wheels today! Tyres are on and I'm pretty happy, plenty of meat on them, and enough to protect the rim. Will be putting the decals on tonight and try to get them ceramic coated tonight as well. Can't wait to get these on the car!
