150 Whiteline ARB rear SWAY
713 Wheels
40 wheel spacer rear 6mm Per side???? or total?
9 longer lugs rear
30 Steering gaiter kit
So i need your help guys, due to limited funds i have to find the best deal possible + i can't seem to find some of the stuff to get
a) Calipers Rebuilt Kit, i know tcbparts sell those(and toyota Greece) but i have a problem identify which gt4 st205 i have as tcb sells a set for untill august 1995 and one for the later one, dunno how to check which ones i have
b)Wheel bearings, where to get them? TCB seems a bit expensive, and on ebay they do not say which company produce them,
c)aaah Rack Bushings and bearings, i guess only from toyota? will those cost an arm and a leg? got the prices from toydyi, which i know they are not always accurate
d) Coilover Sleeves, BSM some time ago suggested to look at http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product but i have a problem choosing the springs and sleeves as i do not know sizes i have to get, plus will it be cheaper than the GC kit?
e) Konis, those are expensive wherever i look, 500GBP seems extreme for my wallet, but i want the best on my car, i have yet to decide if i am going Sleeves+ Konis or BC kit
f) Wheels, another hot issue, hard to find ones, i will though
g) Wheel spacers, Greeks ask for 80 GBP for those but i am sure i have seen those cheaper on the net, help?? also, since those are 6mm they will leave very little of the hub for the wheels to sit on, is this enough for the wheel to sit, can i get hubcentric spacers for between hub and rotor, or is a definite NO, i can't seem to find a way how that is even possible unless i open the bore of mk1b rotor, from 54.1 to lets say 57, and build hubcentric spacers with dual bore, on for the rotor to sit and one for the wheel but this cancels the whole idea of getting the mk1b front rotors on the back to be an easy swap, also is it 6mm per side or 6mm total? 3mm per side?
