[SillyCarS]

+rep, thanks for clearing that up. i thought i was gunna buy something i didnt need

[Smokey228]

If anyone wants something can you PM me, im getting really confused

ATM,
Silly wants a set of sleeve kits,
twenty wants sleeves and camber tops (220+180US)
I want sleeve kits,
Old school, might want 2 pairs of camber tops?

Old school, i'll ask about that swivel upper hat, i'd assume they could do it... As they have seperated stuff in the past... But then again, it was lower trailing arms instead of lower and upper...

I wanna order mine tomorrow, so if your in 100% i'll make the order and have to pay in one go, if your not in 100% tell me now and i'll give you the email, you can order when ever your ready...

Cheers,
Jase

These should be universal, so $50 for them, but just triple check with T3 that they're to suit a 63mm ID Spring... If so, then they're perfect!

the hats that i want are what twenty has just linked to. thanks

i'll talk to my dad and see if he wants some camber plates and that for his rally car and i'll get back to you.

What Spring Rate/Height does everyone recommend for track/street use?

[Smokey228]

On your car, I'd probably suggest a 450 to 475lb spring rate. That's a lot of motor to account for, and even with such stiff springs, it'll ride sporty but not too harsh.

Thats to take into account the 1J. So maybe a bit lighter for the 1G guys?

Cheers,
Jase

Ths is what i heard back today;

3 x $199 Celica Weld on Sleeve Kit =$597

3x$180 Celica (110mm) camber tops=$540

4x $30 Swivel upper hat systems=$120

$78 Total shipping on everything by Global Priority Mail.

$1335 USD Total

What spring size are the swivel tops to suit? I.e. 63mm?

------------>The swivel hats are meant to fit the 2.5" ID (63.5mm) Eibach coilover springs that come with the coilover kits, but will work just fine on the metric equivalents you guys get over there (I think it's about 65mm ID or such)

What will the final cost of shipping be on these things, and are you able to do a group discount on this?

-----------other than combined shipping, and discounting all the swivel hats from $50 a set to $30 a set, that is the best we can do.

So if you are deffinetly in, im going to need some money up front, as i cant cover that whole cost to myself...

[twentyEight]

So, what would be the shipping for each of us?

Is there 4 people ordering stuff, or 5?

[takai]

Uh, that also goes over the Duty limit. Youll probably get charged GST on that lot.

Best to keep it under AU$1000 per order, including shipping.

[Smokey228]

Cant i just ask them to put a low price tag on it? I.e. Value it at alot less...? Or is that dodgy and generally companies wont do it..?

Cheers,
Jase

EDIT: Old school, so its down to you then man... We need to know 100% if you want your two sets of camber tops and upper seat!

If i cant get a confirmation today, i'll order without your bits as i have already confirmed 28 and Silly...

And is everyone happy with 450 lb springs then?

Cheers,
Jase

[jeffro ra28]

Ask them to label the item as "GIFT".
You can only ask i suppose .......... Iv done that a few times before from shit from states.....

How long till you will be ordering this stuff? I might get keen

[Smokey228]

I wanna order today man, as i really wanna get my shit happening before i blow my pay check on something sensible like medical or dental expenses!

Cheers,
Jase

[jeffro ra28]

eh, no wuckers. see how you go with the "gift" thing. Most people iv delt with dont have any drama's with that.

Its when you get busted for customs and have to pay the inspection fee that hurts

[Smokey228]

I'll do that, but by the looks of things i probably wont have to, as without confirmation from Old School, i wont get his camber tops so it will drop under 1000$

Old school, quick man! lol

Cheers,
Jase

T3 labelled my parts as vintage car parts $20US when it was $450ish US. Didn't have to ask them to but would give me serious concerns if I had to claim on the shipping insurance. Personally I would do separate orders, my coilovers, upper hats, camber platea and RCA's all fitted in one flate rate box at $37US (from memory) so not really a lot saved on shipping.
