So, you will be installing TRD blue sways, Toms suspension parts, HKS coilovers on your Aristo TT.
What are you going to do with your existing TRD Sportivo suspension set (white sways, lowering springs, shortened sport shocks), sell them to me for a nice price

Nice coilovers, I rode in a members car that had them (not sure what model) and it had a nicely damped ride, it was probably the best ride I ever felt in a lowered car (he had 18s and 40 series tires as well!!)

After you have had them in for a while, give a full writeup

Only if you consider teeth-jarring, spine-rattling, butt-shaking ride on your Luxury Sedan (oooo...LS+?) as being the baddest. HKS does make the Hiper-damper II which is their top-of-the-line coilover model, but I think it's meant for track drivers and people who race on a regular basis. I had the top of the line KW coilovers on my VW back in my college days, thinking most expensive is best, man, that sure robbed the fun of street driving....


....HKGS300, I will sell you all the sportivo stuff for real cheap....hell, I will sell it to anyone for real cheap. Anyone want a set of barely used TRD sportivo kit? Shocks, springs and sways?

I have the Hiper IIs and it's actually a nice smooth ride. Then again, I've got the damper adjustment pretty soft compared to what most of you would consider and I don't have it slammed. I would have bought something else had it been my choice, but I lucked out and bought the car with em already installed, a few tweaks in damper and ride height adjustment and we're good to go.

Though if you're going to do that, there's probably no point in buying them unless you just want to spend your money.
