Great video, how much of a difference did this make in the driving experience?

@Ma70rk 16 күн бұрын

@user83200 I think it's absolutely necessary, especially with the age our cars are coming up on. Dialing in the alignment literally transforms the cars handling exponentially. These rear axle beams usually are out of spec w/toe and camber. These bushings are almost future proof, aside from the actual beam getting tweaked. These combined with a stiff rear sway bar adds to how stable and predictable the car handles . 10/10 recommend

So can I lower the car on some wood with the wheel on and then torque it to spec?

@Ma70rk 18 күн бұрын

@ItsFonzy I think you could, but make sure your wood is stable, you could also lower the car, mark a line across the bushing and housing, then get the car back up on jackstands and jack the wheel up until the marks line up. Be safe and thanks for watching 🤘🏼

Why would you buy ANY car part and not check if it will do what you want it to do first? You already had lowering springs. Most lowering springs will lower your car between 2 to 3 inches. The GC's will lower your car the same as the lowering springs you already had. What were you expecting? My guess is you based what you thought you were going to get on springs that weren't OEM to the car. Only solution is to grind off the spring perch and remount the sleeves. Do your homework before you buy shit. I have GC's on my car and I think their OK for what they are. Not great but not terrible. Pretty much the same result as most of the Ebay crap. My suggestion? Buy the Ebay crap and return the GC's. The only good thing about GC is that they make their kits model specific but anyone with a rudimentary set of tools can make a set of Ebay sleeves work just as well as the pricier GC's. I've ordered a DNA sleeve kit and will be putting it on the front struts but I'm not going to use the crap rubber O rings that go bad after 6 months and will use either a metal or teflon sleeve spacer to make the sleeve more solid and not moving around on hard cornering.

@user-hl6gg2qq1u I like the build quality and valving of the bilsteins and wanted just a little more drop. After quite a few emails back and forth with ground control, included photos of my car and what I wanted to achieve, "Andrew" at ground control assured me that they could make it happen. Definitely wasn't the case. So I did the homework, just got all the wrong answers🤣 There's already limited options for the chassis. These bilstiens and the BC kit I'm running now had to be slightly modified to work, but didn't want to go as far as cutting spring perches. I know GC been around for quite a while, definitely a good option for someone not looking to drop more than fixed lowering springs. Otherwise, thanks for watching, check out some of the other videos to dial in alignment on these cars with solid rear axle beams 👌🏽 so far happy with my new setup and the car drives great and doesn't look too bad either

Thank you! Just did this on my 2009 Prius. Not as easy in real life, took hour and a half to figure out how to actually use tool. Pusher tool has a small lip that needs to seat on backside of axle. Helps to have 3 hands. First side took 4 hours to remove and replace with stock bushing other side took 2. Both my bushings were broken into 2 pieces, so a bit of play and clunking noise in rear axle.

It got bent when I was doing my clutch, told my buddy to go lift up the rear end and instead of using the lift point under the trunk, he put the jack right in the middle of the axle beam. It's bent like a bow now, and is especially noticeable since the TRD sway bar stayed rigidly straight.

May not increase power much, but we can get a much nicer torque curve. I'm saving for either a link ecu or powerFC, need more subscribers 🤣 I haven't heard an exhaust for our cars that i like.

Also, speaking about the exhaust options, the current prices for the headers is tough pill to swallow with them being around 1k.

I personally would get ppe header and go with a full 2.75 custom exhaust with the vibrant street power muffler and their longest resonator.
