I'm 50/50 on the look of the alloys but got a good deal anyway. The new tyres grip like mad and I'm having all pads/disks replaced tomorrow with luck and lowered next week. Booked the pre-cat removal for a week tomorrow and that will be the end of the mods. (I also have a K&N filter along with ngk sparks to go in)

Update: I'll change image host tomorrow

like the wheels, a good choice! - will look better when lowered.

Why did Toyota think that fitting RAV4 springs as standard was a good idea? Maybe they thought that as it shares the engine it may aswell borrow the springs too!

Yesh

Yeah, should be lowered soon and will then post new pics.

Although 17's look really good, I'd prefer a softer ride

The new wheels look pretty good :thumleft: What are they and are they staggered? Also, what tyres are on them?

Yesh, staggered to the tune of 205/50r15 (From memory so could be wrong there) at the rear and 195/50r15 fronts. Toyo Proxes T1-R 82v @ £32.45 each!

So far they don't seem to be bad tyres at all but I'm being careful until I get used to the car
