Thats the daily (got - 15cm on the drifter but that got coilovers)
does anyone know what suspension set up this car has, and do you think it could be done on a budget i.e. lowering blocks, landy shocks, and cut mr2 springs?

I'm fairly certain Nikdev will know as it's his car and you probably got the picture from his thread in the general section at the top?

No idea if you could do it on a budget, but i doubt it would have a very nice ride as a daily even though Nikdev uses his as just that!

Don't we all!

If I didnt have so many projects (2) on the go, I'd be giving my 340 all the attention it desreves.

And it look like that........... well........ try.

Why cut MR2 springs when the real thing can be had for the same money or possibly less?

Rear end could be done with blocks. Dont know about dampers. My recomendation would be adjustables but go with wahtever Nickdev is using.

But the mk2 mr2 weighs 300 kg more, has the engine in a completely different place and it'd handle like.. like... actually I can't think what it'd handle like. A not very handleable thing at least.

Same goes for landy dampers. It's a prime way to may the car unstable, about 6months ago in the rain we had a significant number posting they'd put their cars into armcos around the country. The common factor, they'd all fitted landy dampers.

Why make your car crap to drive, when the first corner means it'll also be crap to look at?
