TRD SPORTIVO suspension kit?

Post by damronjr »

So, I was just pilfering through cardomain for any new stuff and came across this. The owner (who has a Voltz in Malta) says: MY SECOND MOD TILL NOW IS THE SUSPENSION KIT TRD SPORTIVO IT IS A KIT OF 4 LOWERING SPRINGS ABOUT 30MM AND 4 SHOCKSIt doesn't appear to be a coil-over kit. Anybody heard of or have any info on this kit? I know people have been waiting for A/M shocks for a while now.http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2199378/2

But you pay out the (removed) for road taxes. Then again, they have the best kept roads I've ever seen.

JDM always has more parts than USDM. i think that is for any and all Japanese based cars/products.

it's not the US. it's more or less what the manufacturers feel is necessary and if there are people willing to buy. it's no different than the STI LGT's and Foresters that are available in Japan, but Subaru of Japan doesn't feel there is a market for those vehicles in North America! parts, accessories, all kinds of great things are available for the Japanese market, but not in the US.

Hi to all,I'm the one that own the trd Voltz from malta.I noticed this tread today.here is the link to all TRD parts for the Voltz.http://trdparts.jp/english/parts_sporti ... tz.htmlThe sportivo sus kit is around $830. The great thing about this kit is that it would not suffer from the comfort ride and still get a sports car feel.If anyone would like to buy any trd parts for the vibe i'm ready to help. In here i can order all the parts from trd including the LSD which i'm looking for up coming mods, the bad thing is that shipping will be very high since the weight is a bit high.

Maybe where you were, but up north in Misawa they had some of the crappiest roads I have ever seen (outside of Detroit). Ruts so bad you could just about let go of the wheel and the car would just follow along like a slot car! Was lots of fun on my Honda VT250Z.
