front and rears? meh, it happens bro.. we can see if we can take care of it on tech day OR you can just come by my house and I can see if I can fix for free..

guess the brakes will do that if not bedded (sp?) properly

Has anyone ordered from Z1auto before? I ordered the inner bushings from them on Monday, and I was wondering if they send out a notification email that it's been shipped with a tracking number. So anyone know?

that means they most likely dont have one in stock.........best you call them cause then you wont get it in time...

I called every place and made sure i found one "in stock".....

when i called Z1,they said they had only one and they were gonna use it, but then said i can have it and they would just replace it with the order they made............

Just sharing with you guys.

I'm going to pick up S2000 in couple weeks. I met autobroker thru S2ki forum and he is going to find me one S2k soon. I was going to pick up an evo, but felt kinda late to jump on that car (Age). Also 06 MR price didn't fit in my budget too (my budget 20k and people asking low milies 06 MR for 24K+).
Well anyway...I wanted to have a boost/4doors car, but i guess i can add boost and gotta keep this 4runner untill it dies. lol

See you guys around soon.

I have a question. I want to get some springs. I'm stuck between the Tein S-Tech and the Tanabe GF210. The only problem is I barley clear my driveway as it is. My driveway has this weird hump, and my car is at the closest point around my X-Pipe. So should I go through with it or stay on the stockers.

Here is a pic maybe this will help:

1. Have driveway fixed......you can add cement......contact a local cement contractor that will bond a new layer, they have a bonding agent that will help, and it may be much easier since its not concrete but a pebbled driveway.

2. then get whatever springs you want.

pfff, at letting your driveway own you on mods............

I actually can't use one side of the drive way because I bottom out hard lol I have to back out whenever I leave lol

It's hard to get a good picture. The driveway looks harmless but its a ***** lol. My front bumper clears perfectly fine, the only problem is the middle of the car.
