I have trd coilovers and mine sits low at the front also.
Do your coilovers rattle when you go over bumps? i think its the sprins moving but not sure, is driving me crazy, love the firmness and the handling its just the constant rattkling that does my head in!
no mate I don't get that, I get a sound of like gas shocks over bumps, Ive got a cusco strut brace and H frame on also

I am completely  and a little bit  and not to mention quite  at the negative response they've received.
I think they look very good indeed and realy suit the car and do not require any kind of colour change.
As far as diameter is concerned, I think they are just the right size and anything bigger would look a bit idiotic and maxpowerish - not to mention the detrimental effect they would have on performance, ride and handling.
Also I don't think their split rim nature causes a visual problem with regards to their size - I know how big they are and that they look that big by looking at them - where the silver bit ends and the black rubbery bit starts is how big the wheels are
I may well be biased though because I have always liked split rims since the BTCC days of the BBS shod RS 500s and E30 M3s.

In fact i'd go as far to say I think it looks as cool as f*ck.
Realy like the car and would like to own one, and in that colour I don't think i've seen a better suited set of rims. Would deffo be my choice.
Well done

Nice one Ned - was a pleasure mate.
Felt your chariot was getting some rather unfair treatment, especially as she's rather tastfully done IMO and a big favourite of mine.
Was very surprised to read some of the other chaps slating her so.
Was Toyota's equivalent of the Escort Cosworth about ten years ago and is/was a cracking and underated piece of kit then aswell as now.
I thought the car looked realy menacing when it first appeared compared to previous models, particularly in black or the very dark metalic blue with the graphite three spokes and large rear spoiler, when Toyota obviously made a serious effort to snatch some sales away from Ford with their own little WRC related beastie.
Keep her mint mate
