Hey guys. just piked up my new toy. 60 surf. Phaaark its tidy. rear l.s.d, new l.p.g setup. fully recoed 3y.
Picked up some mint 15x8s white spoke on 33 mint hancooks for $700 aswell.
So im new to the game and i got me a good starting point. first thing i wana look at is suspension. Whats the cheapest easiest most effective way to get a little more lift, a little more flex and to make the ride a liitle easier??
And whos the MAN in Auckland to talk to about everything there is to know and to do to a Toyota. Cheers guys. Mean forum too. Ill be very keen to get out to Woodhill very shortly also

search the toyota section, plenty to do.
falcon springs in the rear, rear springs up front etc etc.
Talk to DeRanged, and Jafa, they are are the north island guys who can provide the know how and parts.

Drive it first, a lot. Get to know what it is capable of and start looking at mods to improve on the limitations which you have found.

To fit falcons in the rear requires some engineering and mods to mounting points dont it?
ive read up a bit on supraluxes articles on this, or will falcons bolt straight in?

Engineering, fabrication and a mod certificate.
