Driving from stoplight to stoplight this afternoon, a Camry pulled up along side of me, and this guy (an equally old white dude, LOL) was gesturing for my attention. In this thick, Eastern European accent, he asked me: "I have Supra in garage and I've been looking for exhaust. What exhaust is that? I want my Supra to sound like you."
So that was fun. Hahaha

I wanna know if anyone else has this issue in their sedan. When coming to a quick/hard stop I feel my seat shift a tiny bit. Won't do it under normal braking but braking hard to a stop you definitely fell it. I am out of my Bumper to Bumper so I think whatever it is I'm gonna be outta pocket. Think it may just be the seat tracks?
Found this but nobody ever got back with a solution.

Too funny.
Tein Basis springs & shocks are installed in the rear, with a SPC Camber & Toe kit. All four corners are now exactly 26 3/4" floor to fender, and the rears are at a very appealing looking -2.2* and -2.3* camber.
Front CO's are sitting in my attic, awaiting a future install. In the meantime, I'm content with the Swift Springs in the front. Ride quality is excellent, virtually identical to the Swift springs and OEM sport shocks... that are still on the front, which might have something to do with that, LOL.

Keep in mind, I have a somewhat hybrid setup, with Tein springs & shocks in the rear, but Swift springs and OEM sport shocks in the front.
Yes. Because of the aggressive offset on these rear Vossens, I wanted a very specific camber setting. After nailing down the height I wanted in the rear, the camber arms allowed the alignment technician to configure it exactly the way I wanted.

Similar to the RWD Sport suspension, yes. Absolutely.

Do you remember how much negative camber you were able to get in the back before you got the camber arms or did you not even try until you got the camber arms installed?

This past spring/summer, I embarked on a number of efforts to use poly spacers between the springs and the top-seats. That was a total clusterfck, and led to the purchase of the Tein Coilovers.
Current height is 26 3/4" floor to fender on all four corners. Toe is spot-on, and rear camber is at -2.2* and -2.3*. Seems perfect to me, all things considered; (tires, wheels, height, personal preference, etc.)
My friends here in this forum are surely tired of seeing that picture and reading me talk about it. But you're new, so there it is. Personally, I love seeing that photo. One of my favorites.

Almost finished prepping the G for my trip from Connecticut to Indiana - I decided not to rent a car this time. Since moving to CT, I've driven to other states (MA, NY, NJ, PA) in our other car, so this will be the first long trip in the G.
Going to catch a college football game in Indiana on Saturday so my planned route will be thru PA to OH in approx 8 hours, stay at a hotel then wake up early the next day to drive the remaining 6 hours from OH to Indiana.
Any of you East Coast guys have any travel experience or tips thru these states to pass along would be greatly appreciated.... I'll see how far I can go on a full tank (driving the speed limit off course ) before refueling. Mapquest indicates the trip (one way) is approx 825 miles...

Granted, it's a very noticeable difference, but I don't think many people do that.
