    I can drop it another 2 inches or so, but I won't. The front tires are already rubbing on sudden drops since there's no way to roll the fronts. I might actually raise the front half an inch to stop the rubbing. I'll choose handling over looks. :) That'll have to happen after I install my TEIN camber plates since the coils will be out anyways.

    I don't have $80k and that's not even with markup. So you're looking at over 100k. Hell no. LOL :D

    Rollatuner - car looks great with the new setup. Can't wait until you get the camber plates and slam it more. My front fenders had to be pulled out cause like you said, fenders can't be rolled. I have owned and driven some high end cars the past 3 years but I don't think I have enjoyed any of them as much as this '01 Corolla. Low cost, low maintenance, high MPG, little squeeks and thumping here and there... the car's got character. :D

    I don't think I'm going to lower it anymore. Once the springs settle, I'll raise it just a little to even every corner out. I want to leave at least one finger gap at each wheel. I do some crazy runs that sometimes includes sharp drops or bumps. I can't afford to keep scraping. I'm not worried about the rears since their rolled, but I'm worried about the fronts. How or where did you get your fronts flared?

    It's really thin so you can't roll it the traditional way with a bat or rolling tool. I'm scraping horribly in the front. I might have to remove my front fender rain guards.

    Just out of curiosity. Do pillowball upper mounts wear out faster than the traditional ones? I seriously doubt this, but there's a guy saying this on TN. I just don't believe a properly designed and installed pillowball mount would wear faster.

    I don't like taking videos. It distracts from driving. :D I need to get my camber plates in first before I do any canyon runs. So does anyone know if they wear faster?

    Aftermarket camberplates are more solid than stock top mounts. I did crack my stock ones before.

    it only distracts from driving if you have like ADD or something....

    lift up your headrest....mount the camera underneath it.....lower the headrest firmly. make sure you are recording before mounting the camera, you will have to edit that out...

    and presto! you can be like me and record your driving.

    pretty good idea. so how about it rollatuner? you can even add tape for good measure.



    UNLESS of course you run down the canyon with your hazards on, on the right side of the road with your hand out the window waving for people to pass you...


    i'll understand.

    LOL fine, but I'll have to get a video cam first. It's too bad I won't be able to film my friend who will be tagging along from behind in his drifting AE86. :( I can't have him in front. If he screws up, I'll crash into him. LOL :D

    Thanks again DOT. :)
