yes
Stuff you can’t teach. Great save! Enough throttle let off and not too much steering angle correction.

Glad it was uphill and not down. There is a down hill turn at Homestead where people love to eat wall. Touch of brake & ? goes sideways fast. Don’t ask me how I know…. ?
fun turn. taking rumble strips dip at 90 mph

Thankfully, my old car lived to see another day. Hell, I’ll put my whole car on that wide ass rumble now. And run off if in doubt…. great learning experience ?

24' Supra 3.0 MT... the Orange one
Amazing ?
I just bought it but didn’t install it yet. could you give me your thoughts about it please. how is daily driving with Hipermax R because it’s circuit focused as they mentioned in their website. also in their website they put a height recommendation but you’re saying now It’s already come with pre-calibrated set. so when I come to install it later I don’t need to adjust anyting if I want HKS pre-set right?
I can't give you any feedback in terms of it's outright performance as I haven't gone to the track with them on yet. However, I'll say that street driving is a bit harsh. The low vibration/helper springs definitely help with the more comfortable ride, however, you'll definitely feel EVERYTHING on the road (which is what you want on a track oriented coilovers). This car is not my daily, so I'm fine with how it drives on the street.

They do indeed come pre-calibrated from HKS -- infact, if you look at the manual it comes with, it shows you the stock setup from Toyota, and the delta between HKS' settings and Toyota's stock settings. I was mostly fine with how HKS set it up except camber. I maxed it out at -3 where HKS sets it at -2.

Not a Corvette.

Helper springs do zero for ride. They are fully compressed when the car is on the ground. You would have to have the wheels in the air for them to be uncompressed at all.

Installed my new steering wheel from @NitroYellowMKV. Huge shout out to Phillip for a high quality product and immediate responses to my questions.
The feel of this wheel blows away the stock wheel. This car should have come with a flat bottom wheel from the factory IMHO. Getting in and out of the car is much easier now for this old guy. ?
Thank you again Phillip!
