dave123456789 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I used BC Golds on my 86 but the ones where you had to weld on the stub axle bit. Made a big improvement. 8kg/6kg Not too hard for the road when you turn the dampening on the shocks down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I've got the older BC's in mine, and have had no problems, they are pretty good for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last i heard, you cant yet The ones he posted a link to are the BC golds that come with the stub axle already as part of it so wouldnt be an issue I would think?

ryanfels Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 yea it is because knowone is willing to put there name against the welding and cast work that attachs the strut to the spindle, not even BC themselves are provide the paper work which the cert man wants. Thats last i heard which is a month or 2 ago now anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 yeh, toyspeed guys told me that, I will need a low volume certi to get it road legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingLing Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 in saying that, i don't have any issues at all to get a wof without certi, it's just when the police pulled me over ,then I will be in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It seems like you're worrying about the little things too much. By the looks you have found a really nice car and it will be worth adding a few extra things to bring it up to the spec you want. What's wrong with the current springs? If it handles fine, I wouldn't worry. Otherwise go for the TRD springs that NicT offered you - AE86's handle great with that setup. Also pretty sure that some TRD springs came out in blue? Could be mistaken though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandangles Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 ^^ exactly whats wrong with how it is now, seeing as you have been harping on about how much you love it i hardly think you are going to race it at a track seeing as the risk of crashing at a track is approximately 39686738305876849X greater than it getting stolen. However BC>TRD all day. With TRD the height is fixed and you done get camber plates. BC are prob way cheaper and in the country + warranty etc..

LingLing Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 yeh, car handles alright. but cut springs man.. cut springs... I really have to think the cost on BC and TRD, BC needs certi, that's bit money there too. will track it definitly after the tune! It's not worth to buy a performance car and not trashing it. If it get killed on th track, so be it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanfels Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I have cut springs in the back of mine and its fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1600 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Id shave those bump stops (cut and sand them smooth - like they arre factory) and run it till you have the cash to go to some BC's Cut spring will be fine in there as long as it is captive for what your currently doing. my 2 cents...............................

mikuni Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Id shave those bump stops (cut and sand them smooth - like they arre factory) and run it till you have the cash to go to some BC's Cut spring will be fine in there as long as it is captive for what your currently doing. my 2 cents............................... This man speaks the truth. Do this. Grinders make short and tidy work of bumpstops and it smells pretty too, like burnouts. I look forward to seeing you enjoy this car as it should be enjoyed, out on the track. I think you have the right idea (generally speaking), with tidying up a few loose ends, getting it road tuned and just making the most of owning your dream car.
