  1. Lowering spring/chassis warning. Help?!?

    The people having this issue are the minority. Yes it can happen with any springs, but the chances are very low. Most times people see this code it's because they broke something during the installation. IMO you shouldn't listen to the guides that say to disconnect the plastic clip on the...
  2. Hr springs bouncing

    I didn't realize they had two models, you're right then, the rear drop is the same as the H&R and the front drop is a quarter inch less.
  3. Supra MKV or keep building my TT 370Z.

    It would be best to reach out to your builder/tuner with those questions, I'm not experienced enough to answer with any confidence.
  4. Hr springs bouncing

    They're basically the same, they just flip which end gets lowered more H&R: 1" front, 0.75" rear RS-R: 0.5" front, 1.1" rear In either case, neither of them are anywhere near "riding on the bump stops", that's just a ridiculous statement.
  5. Supra MKV or keep building my TT 370Z.

    The problem is the Supra is direct injection, and there aren't any aftermarket options for the high pressure fuel pump or injectors. Instead people have to run port injection, which is basically adding a "standard" low pressure fuel rail and injectors into the intake ports to supply the...
  6. Has anyone powder coat or painted their stock wheels?

    There's a whole thread on it with lots of pictures: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/painting-the-stock-rims.2831/
  7. Painting the stock rims ?

    I did gloss black, but after a month of brake dust accumulation they’re basically satin now, lol
  8. New (and old) SupraMKV members say hello!

    I have 1600 miles on mine and the seats look like they’re brand new, I’m also…definitely not 160 lbs. My guess is it was a showroom car with 100+ people climbing in and out of it every day for months. I’d look for abnormal wear on all the high touch areas from people climbing in and out and...
  9. Hr springs bouncing

    H&R has the mildest drop of all the aftermarket spring options on this car.
  10. What Mods Do and Do Not Void the Warranty?

    In an effort not to stretch this out too much further, I'll try keep my response short. Gap insurance is a separate matter, paying for the car in cash versus putting that cash in an investment account and taking out a loan with no gap insurance gives the same result. Gap insurance shouldn't be...
  11. What Mods Do and Do Not Void the Warranty?

    So now saving 25% on a $50k car for a few days of effort isn't worth it because it's only a year of groceries? And saving 50% isn't worth it either because it's only 2 years of groceries? What's next, getting a Supra for free isn't worth it because it's only 4 years of groceries? We're not...
  12. What Mods Do and Do Not Void the Warranty?

    Lol, sorry but your numbers are so far off I can't take you seriously. If you'd like I can run some Monte Carlo simulations to give you average returns and estimated probability of failure given >100 years of S&P 500 price history, but ballpark you're looking at well under a 1% chance of taking...
  13. What did you do to your Supra today?

    Nah, given the price of this car and the state of the job and housing markets, especially coming off the tail end of Covid, I’d guess the median age here is in the high 20s or low 30s.
  14. What did you do to your Supra today?

    Over the weekend I did: Fullscreen Carplay thanks to EasyBimmerCoding New steering wheel from VQCarbonCustoms Blackline billet aluminum paddle shifters Verus 6-port heatshield
  15. What Mods Do and Do Not Void the Warranty?

    Ok, but that's not investing it, that's just using it to buy more toys. Bottom line is between spending $50k to buy a car outright, vs putting that $50k in investments making 5%+ while taking a $50k loan at 2% for the car, the latter is the better choice pretty much every time. 1) You spend...
  16. Alignment on stock suspension question

    My understanding is that the camber isn't adjustable at all. You get what you get, and it's probably somewhere around -1.5 to -2 deg. When I got my car aligned, I actually had about a half a degree difference in the camber between the front left and right. There was nothing they could do...

    Or the indicators that light up orange when the sun is behind you, making them appear to be illuminated constantly?
  19. Do you find the paddle shifters awkward?

    I could see fixed paddles being better for sharp, low speed (1st gear) turns when you're wrapping the wheel around half a revolution or more. In that case, having them attached to the wheel makes it confusing which is up and which is down while fixed would be clearer. Of course in cases like...
