What did you do to your Supra today?

[Stedy]

I'm 2k km/s into ownership and got a wheel alignment today. Wow, talk about a difference. The floaty, disconnected feeling that was bugging me has gone. The car now feels planted right though the corners and on throttle. Best money I've spent so far.

If you're a new owner I highly recommend it, the best performance upgrade you'll do for under $100.

What is that?

Hasan, use Google, man.

I don’t trust google

Finished up a coilovers install. Took the car over to my new friends at Wolfpen in Roswell GA for an alignment.

Also coffee for good measure.

I don’t trust google

It's a mod that makes car go BOOM BOOM, and all my neighbors love me even more.

To keep it fresh, Supra WeatherTech sticker.

Going to have to trim the mat to fit.

Had the wheels blacked out with spacers. 12mm up front, 15mm in the back.

Sorry, do you mind giving more details on this? Maybe I'm just missing a prior thread or something.

Ran my Streethunter rep wing for about a year from NitroYellowMKV. Finally decided to change it to compliment the hood.

Varis on Verus lol

No previous thread, that's just 'what I did to my Supra today'. Car wasn't feeling great on throttle. It would float and it just didn't feel confident in corners. A simple wheel alignment at a local performance shop and the cars character has improved dramatically. Quite a relief TBH.

The factory alignment has such large tolerances that it even if 'in spec' you can have each wheel set substantially differently to one another. That might be bearable in an SUV or a Camry but not a performance orientated car.

Planning upgrading the sway bars to Whiteline in the Black Friday sales. That should make the handling just about perfect for my needs.

Mind sharing the before and after alignment sheet? I’m curious.

Nothing too exciting.. I just added a really expensive titanium screw.

Yeah sure.

EDIT: Took the car to another shop to get another opinion based on the response here. Seems like the numbers on the original alignment weren't correct anyway. Not sure if their machine was out of whack or what but have had it all cleaned up.

 

[razorlab]

Yeah sure.

That front toe is horrible. RIP your tires.
